MeanGreenTexan 14,001 Report post Posted April 10 Crux game of the year occurs 10/20 in Birmingham. Win that game, and we should be in the drivers seat to win C-USA West again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
untjim1995 4,516 Report post Posted April 10 I still see us winning 7-8 games. I think we beat SMU, Incarnate Word, Liberty, UTEP, USM, Rice, and ODU. I think we will win at least one other game against UAB, FAU, UTSA, and La Tech, which gets us to 8. I do think UAB will be the favorite to win the West, but I think we will be in contention all season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UNTLifer 11,085 Report post Posted April 11 The only teams that worry me are FAU and Arkansas. I'm not saying we win 10, but they could go either way. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meangreenJW 218 Report post Posted April 11 I predict 8 wins. Losses to Arkansas, FAU, LaTech and UAB. And one out of SMU, UTSA, ODU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldguystudent 12,346 Report post Posted April 11 I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- 15-0 or GTFO. Fire everybody, expel all the students, raise the student fee weekly, tear down Denton, replace it with luxury hotels featuring a Chili's Bar and Grill in every lobby, and for crimeny's sake, get better beer flavors! 3 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lose to ark and FAU twice again. Win bowl game. I know you dont want to admit defeat to FAU twice this early... but lets be real. I would be thrilled with this result.

Simple reason -- they have us on the schedule. I'm damn near surprised Nicholls St. didn't have some fluke national championship year when we played them. Happens to us all the time. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, Liberty is setting themselves up for future success. They have home and home's with both Virginia and Virginia Tech in the future, Virginia Tech being a 2 for 2. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheColonyEagle 1,663 Report post Posted April 11 With what we have coming back...and if this coaching staff is as good as we think it is... I don't see how less than 9 or 10 wins, a CUSA West crown and a bowl win could be considered anything but disappointing... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They seem to be trending upward, offering a higher caliber of player and making significant upgrades in coaching and facilities. They just landed the top FCS rusher Josh Mack although he will not be eligible this year. CJ Yarbrough a 3-star athlete picked them over Virginia according to this article.

If we lose to Liberty, in either of the next two seasons, similar to losing to the FCS bodybag game we buy each year, it will look horrendously bad, even if they are somehow better than they have been. Losing to them led Baylor to a 1 win season...but they have Big XII $$$ (for now) to lean on. We don't have the luxury of giving that school a win--its just a much bigger deal for us to lose to them than it was for Baylor. Want to see recruiting go back to the Danny Mac levels again? Lose to this bunch or to one of the FCS spares we are playing in the next couple of seasons and you'll get to see it... 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
