Must-win situation, or not

Depending on whom you ask (yeah, it’s whom), Wednesday’s game against Central Florida either is or might not be a must-win matchup. With consecutive games at SMU and UAB coming up, I’ve got to lean toward the must-win contingent. This team is as healthy as it’s been this season, and it’s enjoyed extra preparation time. What are your thoughts? Is this a game that could propel a new start to the season or could it end postseason hopes in the first week of October?
