We may be the biggest question in the conference.

There is talent, experience, and even some depth at key positions but I agree with JasonB that the OL and LB spots could expose us. Plus, I'm worried about the kicking game until we get some experience there.

I could see us winning eight games and I could see us winning two. We should beat UNT, Liberty and Tulane. I think there is enough there to get two wins against Tulsa, Memphis, ECU, USF, or possibly even Navy, but I just don't think we get over the hump this year. Not quite there to truly believe we upset Baylor or TCU, at least not this year.

5-7

Already did a couple of years ago. You're right though- It's only gotten worse.

home opener will draw well...provided we beat UNT and are competitive against Baylor. I'm guessing close to 24k

NTSU- W by 17...just because it will never be UNT to me, and the drums...the drum...
Baylor- L by 21, but we gooch-punch them in the first half...
Liberty - W by 11...it is closer than it needs to be, and injuries begin...
TCU - L by 31...too much of a talent gap...still...and we are missing 3 starters...
Temple - L by 14....coaching staff begins to do the work of rebuilding confidence, but...
Tulsa - W by 4...the signature win for the program this year...
Houston- L by 27...not even as close as the score...this one is going to be bad...
Tulane - W by 10...the yo-yo season continues...
Memphis - L by 17...still better than we are, but no quitting this year...
ECU - L by 13...this is one that will be the reason we don't bowl....
USF - W by 7...a shootout, and we have one more bullet that hits home...
Navy - L by 24....some day in the future during my life we will beat them again...but not today

5-7...folks start checking on HCCM's contract, and the buy-out clauses...

I say Tom Herman goes to A&M before HCCM if a coaching change occurs there...I dont think there will be a coaching change.
