I get why they'd predict 2-10, but yes it'd be a huge disappointment were that to occur. Seems to me a five-win season is a reasonable prediction.

I am hopeful that the speed of our skill-position players and return specialists will help us upset some of our opponents.

To be honest, I would consider it a success if I am less upset than I have been the last few years. They are going to be young and getting younger this year. I just want to see great effort, no quit and be competitive.

I'm sorry but for this program and staff to gain any positive momentum, we need to see at least 3-4 wins this year...and competitive games with plenty of entertaining offense!

Should be entertaining watching Matt run for his life again. I'm also thinking we can pencil in the Liberty Flames as a win Maybe I don't know about the rest

3-4 wins with moments of excitement including many more moments of displeasure. But I AM excited to see the offense move a little bit maybe.

After JM last year, the term "pencil in" is lost to me...I won't go all The Coach Who Shall Remain Nameless and "pencil in" a loss, but let's just say I will be heartened by any victory this year.

I have a demented personality and seriously Miss kicking June around around a little bit. I utilize the terminology " pencil it in " as a tribute to the High School offensive coordinator. Ha ha

Predicted 2-10 last year, the same this year. The upperclassmen on this team (sans Davis) weren't recruited, the defense is unspeakably bad. I'll be thrilled with 3+ wins, but don't see it.
