Is it possible that the 2016 Hoos have peaked? The Hoos began to show improvements beginning in week two with a closer-than-expected game against Oregon. Though the consistency was often lacking, there were definite improvements seen over the following month. However, since then the Hoos have become stagnant.
The Hoos have been outclassed, at home, the past two weeks. Yes, Pitt and North Carolina are talented, veteran teams. But the Hoos, at times, looked as they didn’t belong on the same field as those teams.
This does not bode well for this week’s matchup. Last week’s opponent, UNC, is currently ranked 20th in the coaches poll.
