To be accurate, when you say "Including Saturday’s brutal whipping, the Wildcats dropped a game they weren’t expected to during the non-conference schedule seven times in head coach Pat Fitzgerald’s 11 seasons as head coach."

then you should say 12 seasons not 11.....

Yes, we can relax now all winning from now on. It is the famous obligatory Miami of Ohio game we speak so often about.

Touche! That was definitely part of the problem, but No. 7 doesn't play offense, does he?
