A good amount people are saying 7 wins. Not that I disagree, but could anyone name the 7 teams we beat?

UTEP, NW La, Memphis, Tulane, Rice and then we will go 2-4 against TCU, Navy, Tulsa, UCF, USM & Houston (not sure which 2 of those we will win)

does that seem reasonable?

I'll stick with 7.
Thankfully we have two more games vs horrible opponents to get our sea legs and develop some kind of identity.
If we're still mediocre after the Memphis game, then I will be more concerned as October is just brutal.

Rice not only beat Purdue but they always seem to give us fits when we play them. That game is going to be a tough one to win.

USM lost to marshal and was lucky to beat La tech at home, I don't think they are very good. I live our chances against Navy because I'm pretty sure Dobbs is gone so they won't be nearly as dynamic. UCF Tulsa and Houston will be tough but If this teams plays up to it's talent level we could win all 3

problem with the USM game is that it is in Hattiesville, but I agree that's a game we could win. I also think we are due to beat Navy...especially at Ford, but they have looked good so far. For whatever reason, we seem to play Tulsa tough.

I think the team will bring their best efforts against TCU and Houston. Question is whether we will have enough talent to make the plays when needed

Still think Rice is a gimme if we're still playing for this season. If the wheels come off and it turns into a "learning game", all bets are off.


Rice is not a gimme even if we are playing for this season. We are not good enough to just show up and win.

Navy lost their slotback Santiago to a broken arm last nite but replacement did well. Navy offense is clicking even without Dobbs. They think Proctor can be one of their best ever.

UTEP
Northwestern State
Memphis
Southern Miss
Tulane
Navy
Rice

We already beat UTEP, Northwestern State is FCS, Memphis is terrible, Southern Miss lost to Marashall (we beat Marshall last year), Tulane is terrible, we are due against Navy and no Ricky Dobbs, and Rice is a home game (we usually win at home lose on the road vs Rice).
