We will be underdogs in five of our first seven games.

Mississippi State, at Ohio, at Georgia Southern, App State, at Arkansas State

And Liberty won't be a walk in the park.

Liberty is never cheap.

And if not for a yacked PAT by ULM, we may have been sitting home in December. I'm still in the show me something mode.

TTMW is correct. Many are looking at Ohio as an auto win. It won't be.

Agree with this. I think we have a chance with this being game 1. That being said lofty goals are a year away. I think 7-5 to 8-4 should be a good goal and a good season. Another big recruiting class and watch out next year

For sure. I hope we always expect to win. I do.

Surely you will bet the mother load on this one 🤔

It wasn't a yacked PAT it was a missed FG from 36 yards out. Not a PAT from 17 yards out. And even if they hit the FG, Cajuns may have still won the game in OT, it's not like ULM wins if they hit that FG. And it was not a shocker that the ULM kicker Ford, missed that FG, he was 3-6 on FG's from 30-39 yards away last season and only 9-14 for the year. In kicks over 30 yards for the season he was 4-8 with a long of 43 yards.

Look this is a very daunting schedule, as almost everyone we play is a tough game out of conference with the exception of Texas Southern.

Moo State went 8-4 last year in the regular season with a loss to Iowa in the Outback bowl
Liberty went 6-6 with wins over Troy/New Mexico/NMSU and ODU
Ohio went 8-4 on last year with a win in the Frisco Bowl over SDSU.

Add to that, App State/Troy/Ark State/Georgia Southern and ULM in the SBC and theoretically we have 7 really tough games and one that we are expected to lose. So that makes 8 games that we have to go a minimum of 4-4 in.

That means we have to beat, Texas State/USA/Coastal and Texas Southern, which I fully expect us to do. But winning those alone won't do it. Having App/Troy and ULM at home really helps, but Ga So/stAte and Ohio on the road will be tough.

I can see this team going 10-2 or 6-6. Anything less than 8-4 would be a dissappointment, but I would not be shocked if we are 6-6 when the season ends, I hope I am wrong. But this is going to be a really fun and interesting season.

8-4 will feel okay as long as we are respectable against Miss St, win our first two home games and get into the conference championship. Anything less will not feel like progress is being made.

You're way too pragmatic for a message board.😉

If I’m picking our losses then I’d start with:
Miss St
Ohio
stAte
and two of App Troy GaSo.

Every other game on our schedule should be wins by 10+ points. That’s not to say we can’t go 8-4 or 9-3, that is just where I see us falling through the season. We are 2 recruiting classes away from dominating this league if we can hold onto this staff.

If we could ever get on equal footing perception wise with LaTurd and Tulane then it’s game over with in state recruiting.
