If we don't win 6 next year, we have a coaching problem.
These are teams La Tech should beat in an average year: NW State, UTEP, UAB, ULL, North Texas, ODU, UTSA, and WKU.
Then Rice and USM should go either way, but I think we are more rebuilt than USM is at this point.
That's what I said last year...Quote:

I agree with this sentiment actually. This schedule, while more daunting with Auburn and OU, isn't a "OH MY" schedule. Last year's team dealt with a new offense, different defense, breaking in new players, blah blah blah, so we should see some improvements this year. If we don't see them, we know it's coaching, and we'll have to worry about that then.Quote:

Going into CUSA I felt our biggest threat long term was going to be USM, good rivalry, etc...........we better not sleep on North Texas. They worry me more than anyone else in the west, including UTSA. We better get off our ARSE, get the SEZ rolling and pronto!!!Quote:

Winning 2 of the remaining 6 should be expected. (ULL, North Texas, ODU, UTSA, WKU, Rice). Decent teams, but it's not exactly murderer's row. With better offensive execution, we can win 8 games next year. OL and QB play needs to improve and we will need a healthy Dixon for every game. I like the receivers better this year. I think every game besides OU and Auburn is going to be a war.
The thing about the schedule that bothers me is having to play OU and then travel to ULL at the start of the season. We know what to expect from the most of the teams we will play. It's more about how will Tech play?
Good post. I agree!!Quote:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to T1 again.Quote:

That is not a good schedule.
I got the same message:)Quote:
