Although the Cats lost by 28 last week, there were additional signs of hope as they stayed with Penn State for the first half and the defense was effective until eventually getting worn down by the Lions. There is a path to bowl eligibility given the state of the rest of the B1G West.
That path is very unlikely without a win this week against the Howard University Bison, however. The Bison are an FCS team that was competitive with Eastern Michigan. And the Cats have lost FCS games in recent years, so this is a should-win game, but not a guaranteed win.
