My gut tells me we won't win 10 regular season games but my heart is praying for 10 wins. Interesting fact CBN(a former QB) was here for 4 seasons and never played with his Recruited guy(s) at QB.

We have to have one of the easier schedules in the country. Not playing app or coastal in conference and FSU not their usual self.
At Marshall
At FSU
Arkansas state
Those are the 3 swing games to me. Any other loses are season killing. Going to need 11 wins if not 12 with this schedule to be ranked again.
Man, I am concerned many of you are overlooking our opponents. I am very hopeful for a very good season and I am all in on Coach MD, but I will take it one game at a time!
Yep. The schedule may seem “easy”, but just remember:
2020: 3 of our 10 wins were by a field goal or less. Our only loss was by a field goal. That’s four games that honestly could have swung either way.
2021: 3 of our 13 wins by a FG or less (including having to recover an onside kick by Nicholls), and 4 pt win vs GA State and 5 pt win vs ULM.
In fact, just looking at scores alone, our wins in 2019 were more convincing than 2020 and 2021.
Now…good teams with good coaching no doubt figure out how to win those close games more times than not, and we were 6-1 the past two seasons in games decided by 3 points are less.
Hopefully that trend will continue under Coach Dez, but just goes to show how tight of a margin it is for us to try to win 10+ games in a season.
