This was Mullen's annual flat game against decent out of conference opponent that fanbase thinks we should kill.

2013: 21-20 over Bowling Green (current 5-2 and first place in MAC)
2012: 26-20 at Troy (who ended up 5-7, but was a top 10 offense, plus that was a road game
2011: 26-20 over Louisiana Tech, who was 8-5 (and three plays from being 11-1 regular season) and lost to TCU in bowl game

Ironically, we allowed exactly 20 points to all of those teams.
