Let's talk about this upcoming game with that team called the McNeese Cowboys. An "unbiased" friend told me that they really looked good against Portland State. I think we are in for a real dog fight (calm down Vick, no dogs).
A quick hindsight... we were expected to get blown away by SC and we played way above external expectations. With Ohio, we were clearly evenly matched, and allowed a close one to slip thru our grasp... with a little help by a bad call. Ohio was extraordinarily disciplined on both sides of the ball. (PS no doubt the touchdown was in the bag. I was only concerned whether the 2 point conversion would also be pulled off. I think we would have sealed the deal in OT.)
Looking forward... the coaching staff is not going to let the team overlook McNeese. They are not going to be "down" like the fair weather fans are. I've been around a few years and seen fans completely turn their back on programs, and the football team comes right back and plays the game of their lives. Happens all the time.
What do you predict will happen this Saturday?
I believe our new offense and defense is going to show its potential. I think it was too much to fully utilize on a SC, and I think Ohio was at least as good as the best in the SBC. This is the last game prior to conference play. I am looking for tight execution and successful results from our new offense and defense. What say you?
