FOOTBALL What is this year's must win game of the 2016 season?

Easy, WKU.

1. They're our rival that has beaten us like a drum lately.
2. They, along with Marshall, seem to be the main obstacle towards a CUSA east title.
3. Somehow, in the regional/national perception, they have passed us as an athletic program.

This really isn't even a debate, IMHO.
 
I list three in order of which we need to win the most.

1. Vandy - Literally setting the trend for the season. Lose this game, we take a major hit in confidence and expectations. Vandy is a bottom feeder in the SEC and we should win and we should win by a lot. This is the absolute must win.
2. WKU - Homecoming, rivalry game, likely 1 v 2 in the conference division. Be unbeaten through the WKU game and we are on track for not only a great bowl bid (potentially) and build our fan base like we need to do with a thrilling win over a school people know about.
3. Marshall - Another divisional game, likely 1 v 3. Need to come in ready to play and get the W.

I think it games 2, 3 and 4...If we start out 4-0 I think it will be one hell of a season. Two of these are 50-50 games and LT will not be easy.

Vandy
Bowling Green
LT

We can't wait till the WKU to get hot. If we are 2-3 or 3-2 going into that game, then so what. It will still be huge, but it will not mean as much. I want us to get ahead of our schedule for once.
