Everyone is Making Predictions

Jay is right.

So with that in mind just a reminder, the football has pointed ends that can turn a game on its head.

Its sports, nothing is guaranteed. there is and will always be a level of " if my team does XYZ, then we will win" At the end of the day, this years team is more talented than each opponent it will face except FSU, which has its own set of flaws that allow anyone to rightfully argue the Cajuns can win that game also. 12-0 sure is possible and yes a lot of things need to fall in place. again that's every team in every sport that has a great record. Everyone needs things to fall just right for them. Louisiana is not some outlier that the rest of the country dont have to concern themselves with.

Our 11 dudes gotta line up against their 11 dudes. All 22 dudes are college athletes.

15 years ago today, a little FCS team went into a stadium called “the big house” and beat one of the best CFB programs and walked away with a $400k check.

Couldn't this have just gone in the predictions thread?

I see what you did there. That's funny.

This is the best post you ever made. Having said that, you should quit while you're ahead.

I don't do that, as far as records are concerned.

But here's my thought.

We can beat anyone on our schedule.

Anyone on our schedule can beat us.

We're going to be good. But our margin for error has diminished considerably. We are not as talented as we were a year ago.

And, this year, more than ever, turnover margin is going to be key.

I don't know what our record will be. But I know what it CAN be.

The goodand the bad.

So your prediction is that this season will be unpredictable? I agree.

Some seasons are easier to predict. Like last year. We were very experienced last year.

Now we have some unknowns.

also, how many games do we lose last year if we had more turnovers? Levi threw 4 INTs last year. If you look at the rankings, the mid-level teams threw 14-15. I’m sure it’s fair to conclude we would have lost more than 1 game if we had 14-15 interceptions, considering we had 7 one score games.

That’s not to mention we only lost 4 fumbles.

Is Des going to be more aggressive than Napier? Will chandler take more risks than Levi? Will our inexperienced RBs drop the ball more? All unknowns.

My prediction will wait until 3 or 4 games to have evidence on the field one way or another . Either way, I ll be supporting my Cajuns

Then it won't be much of a prediction. It would be an observation. That's cheating.

We're still putting a premium on defense, so I like our chances every game. It will be irregular for the offense to have as few turnovers as last season, so am hopeful the defense will grab a few more interceptions and fumbles.
