I believe it's wise for Rolovich not to take Western Carolina lightly, for near the end of their 2016 season, they played South Carolina of the powerhouse SEC very tough, in a back-and-forth game that was close midway into the 4th quarter. Dual threat QB Tyrie Adams who threw for 131 yards and rushed for 93 yards/7.2 yards per carry against the Gamecocks returns. So does their starting running back who rushed for 115 yards/5.5 AVG and a TD along with wide receiver Connell Young who scored 2 TDs against South Carolina. Bear in mind that South Carolina gave it all they got against the Catamounts last season as they needed this win in order to become bowl eligible. UH may need such an effort to come out victorious. Go Warriors!
