I have to say, I had pretty much written off bowl hopes a few weeks ago. I didn't see MT coming out with a win vs Marshall. I thought Marshall was going to be the 6th loss. After that, I thought it unlikely MT would win 3 straight especially since MT and FAU usually seem to play close games. After 2 wins, things are looking more hopeful for a bowl. With 2 of the worst teams in C-USA this season as the last 2 games, it seems a bowl game just might be possible. After seasons like last year, I'm not betting the farm on anything. Crazy things happen in conference even vs teams that may not be all that good that season. I am glad and hopeful for the players at this point that they do seem to have a reasonably good shot at a bowl game.
As for overall season success, I'd like to see continued improvement including a bowl win.
