Hey Mark, you are really slipping, if that is the best you can do. You usually have something actually witty to say.
Yeah UA and ASU schedules are really mirror images, with UA playing a lot of tough teams early and ASU having an easy schedule, and UA having an easier shcedule than ASu at the end of the season. I guess that is why we are ranked (no, Mark it is ASU that is just RANK), while ASU is not, even though we have the same overall record.
Going into the season, I had figured UA for a 6-6 record. And, until last weekend, I still figured that. Hey, playing 5 ranked teams (3 in top 10) in the first 8 games would be tough for anyone, much less a team with a new coach and new system. Not to mention the absolutely dismal defense Mike Stoops left us with. Yes, I know ASU also has a new coach and new system. But unlike UA, ASU did (supposedly) have better talent returning.
I certainly would never guarantee we would win out, but I like our chances of going 7-5 or 8-4, which would be a huge turnaround in one year.
