    For reference, we were 14th in the Sun Belt and 134th Nationally last year so something has started to click it seems in that department.
    On3 seems to be more up to speed on things versus 247.

    Recruiting is not a problem at this point. But in order to keep those commitments on lockdown success has to transfer to the field in wins.

    Success begins and ends with the on the OL/DL "Time Machines"

    Defensive Time Machines speed time, up.

    Offensive Time Machines slow time down.

    Definitely need better offense than what was showed vs Jacksonville State to conclude the season. I don’t know if it was the play calling or execution, but that was a disaster after all the defense did.

    The more I think about it the more I am cautiously optimistic for the upcoming season. Hard to gauge other Sun Belt schools at this time due to many teams high player turnover but we could contend for a conference championship. Hopefully it is time for Dez to shine.

    Doesn't hurt. That's pretty obvious. But, how much does it help?
