Highly doubt we go 6-3 on the road in the PAC, even with improvement. I'll happily be wrong

If we go 4-5 on the road in conference, I'll be a happy camper.
I want 5-4. Wanna hit that 24 mark in regular season play this year
If Zona is as good as they are rated they are going to smoke us.
Tad Boyle improved his road record at CU to 7-18 last night and has never won more than 4 true road games in a year. I think our road expectations in this thread are a bit on the high side with a team this young.
honestly, I'm hoping we win three away games. hoping. We are flat out terrible on the road.
We will see how much growing they do with an easy schedule the next few weeks. Get some rest and let tad get after them a little bit.
This. 10-8 in conference is my goal. Puts us at 20-10 if we win our last two non-con's.

Arizona is the only team in this conference I think can beat us no matter where it is played. I think this Buff team can get them one time maybe. No one else scares me.
Wins - at Arizona State, USC, UCLA, at Washington, at Washington State, Cal, Stanford, at Utah, at Oregon State, Arizona State, Utah, at Cal, Oregon, Oregon State (14)
Losses - at Arizona, at Oregon, Arizona, at Stanford (4)

This is a dream scenario and has about a 10% chance of happening, likely less playing so much youth.
Stanford throttled us both times last year.
We wont beat Cal in thier house
We will lose at least one of: UW, Wazzu, OSU
With just those we are talking about 11-7 which is far, far, far more realistic.
You may be right ... but I'm hopeful that this young team will do some serious growing up in the next couple of months.
Don't be so sure on the bolded part. Had a chance to beat them last season at their place.
I'm hoping for 12-6 in conference, and 4 road wins. After the past couple weeks not so sure. Turnovers and FT's are issues. I realize this team is young, but watching this team on the road reminds me of Ricardo Patton. :huh:
They also almost lost to Texas Southern, and blew a massive lead against CSU in the second half - both home games.
The team needs some maturity.
I want 9-0, but that ain't happening.

You have to keep in mind that while we went 3-6 last year on the road in the Pac, we also faced 3 teams considerably more hapless than any we will face on the road this year. That's not to say that there aren't bad teams this year in the Pac, believe me, there are. However, no one, not even Wazzu, is as bad as USC, Utah and Arizona State were last year (our 3 conference road wins). As I've said before, we've done nothing to show we can beat the mid-table teams (Cal, Washington, Oregon State etc) on the road with any consistency. I do believe we will get there, but it remains to be seen if that will happen this year. Let's face it, in many ways last night highlighted a lot of the inept play of the Buffs on the road. Hopefully the end result of a victory can be a confidence booster/springboard for better road play, but last night did nothing to change the current perception that this team struggles on the road.
