Why didn’t we schedule an easy win against as bad FCS opponent simply to A) get another win to build confidence and B) to give our younger players more reps. We always knew we weren’t going to a bowl game, so why not take advantage of the rules in place to create an advantage for your program? It doesn’t appear that we did anything that made a material difference with our bye weeks this year to gain an advantage on our next opponent anyway, so we may as well have gotten another win for the program and developed the team.
We have 2 bye weeks next year too, but I’m not sure adding a game is an option like it was this season since we don’t travel to Hawaii next year.
