According to your logic, ul offense must be one of the best since they play a #2 SOS.
No, but U of L's Total Offense is #19 on schedule-adjusted basis. Louisville has played three teams ranked nationally in the Top 25 on Total Defense.

Cal is #1 averaging 518 yards/game and having played three Top 50 defenses. Contrast that to Baylor which is #1 on offense (720 ypg) without accounting for schedule. But their SOS is 176th nationally; and they have played the 108th, 122nd, 123rd, and 125th rated defenses in the FBS. Their best FBS opponent has been WVU ranked 74th in Total Defense.

All of this stuff has to be weighted against the quality of your schedule. It's how LPT started 5-1 last year and finished 0-6.

We had better get our adjustments in place B4 BC. They are a good team. If we do not, we could be looking at 4-8 or 5-7 for the 2015 season.

I don't think dismissing staff is the answer. Team lost half the starters from a year ago.

Fans are guilty of having expectations that exceed reality.

The schedule was front loaded tough and there had to be concern going into this with so many unknown quantities across the board in all 3 phases.

If the team is completely uninspired in the 2nd half of the season it is fair to give more thoughts to staff changes but we are only at the midpoint.
