4 UNDERACHIEVERS IN THE G5

UTEP: When UTEP hired Sean Kugler to replace the retiring Mike Price, AD Bob Stull, who coached Kugler when Kugler was a player at UTEP, had but one directive, just win. Kugler who was 46 at the time of his hiring in 2012, took over a UTEP team that lacked both talent and vision. UTEP has a very loyal and proud fan base. If Kugler can turn the UTEP program back into a winner, UTEP fans will be eternally grateful. UTEP's last bowl appearance was in the 2010 New Mexico Bowl. They lost to BYU 54-24. We know UTEP can do better.

TROY: The Troy Trojans are  5 time winners of the Sun Belt Conference. But um, what have you done for me lately Troy? It's also been since 2010 that Troy last played in a Bowl game, a 48-21 victory over MAC opponent Ohio. To borrow a line from country music singer Barbara  Mandrell, Troy dominated the Belt, when the Belt wasn't cool. Head coach Larry Blakeney needs to get his Mojo back if the Trojans are going to live into their full potential.  Troy is located in talent rich Alabama and has  a supportive and hungry to win fan base. We know that Troy can do better .

ARMY: College football needs a competitive Army squad. In fact college football needs all of the Service Academies to play well. Why? because  Army and the Service Academies represent the last school' in the sports world where scholar athletes  are really scholar athletes. Army recently hired Georgia  Southern coach and option guru Jeff Monken to lead the Golden Knights. Army is a team that every college football fan should cheer for and support.   We know that Army can do better.

TEMPLE: The Temple Owls are located in sports hungry Philadelphia and football hungry Pennsylvania. Temple should benefit from this right? They don't of course and the reasons are many. In fact the struggles of Temple football have been well documented throughout the years. Coach Al Golden gave the Owls a glimpse of what is possible with their football program. Temple has landed in the top G5 conference, the American. Owl fans are hoping their new conference affords them room and time to grow thier football program. New coach Matt Rhule has the Temple fan base hoping for better things to come. We know that Temple can do better.
