The Perfect Storm? Chance of an upset against Furman

Before everyone tells me to step off the ledge, just hear me out. I am not saying we are going to lose, just bringing up a discussion.

I know everyone is freaking out about losing Brewer, our D's performance on Saturday night, and losing to OSU. I am too. However, this is not one of those panic moments where I think we will lose all of our games now. I have faith in the Defense, Offense, Special Teams, and Coaching. However, I am seeing some eerily similar/discouraging signs of a week back in 2010...JMU. Here is what I see:

--- Hype+AllOffseason+Letdown: Just like the Boise State game, the OSU game was EXTREMELY hyped up ALL offseason, leading up to a huge matchup and major letdown.

---SHORT WEEK... EXTREMELY SHORT WEEK: We have to turn around and play 5 days later (luckily not a nooner), but I am sitting here thinking wow, I just got home from Blacksburg last night and in 4 days I will be right back to watch a game, it feels like a quick turnaround for ME, let alone the guys playing on the field.

---Weather: Right now on Weather.com and Weather Underground have Saturday as 90% chance of rain and thunderstorms. (I know it is "early", but if that forecast stays true, I don't like it) Weather levels the playing field a little bit... JMU.

---Team with nothing to lose: Furman put up 520+ total yards of offense this past weekend. I know it's not against some P5 team, but still, that's a good number. I looked into their highlights and it looks like they run a spread passing offense, with some RB runs out of shotgun (ECU). Furman has nothing to lose, I'm sure they smell blood after our loss and loss of our starting QB.

Counterpoints to all of these: Tech is pissed about the loss on Monday, they don't want to have another JMU, they will rally around new QB, weather could benefit Techs offense too, etc. I just wanted to see all your thoughts on this game. I am not on a ledge, I am actually one of the few that has faith in Motley, I just HATE how I felt after that JMU game and I am just seeing a lot of similar signs to that becoming another possibility. I am excited and anxious for the rest of this season. What are your thoughts?
