If we can get Demin firing on all cylinders, we can beat almost anyone

How many games this year would you say he was “firing on all cylinders”?

About four games at the beginning of the season 🙁

Saying we were “0-2” against Houston isn’t being very clear about the games.

I feel you man. Look at how we played after getting blown out by TTU last year.

No need. You already outed yourself. The spread was about 3 points last time
