2015 season predictions

[CoxMustangFan]

4-8 seems about right.

[PSCA]

I think 4 wins ... outside chance of 5 ... with noticeable improvement as the year progresses both in player performance/development and team play. Both outcomes would be reason for great optimism moving forward. Oh, and no one buys out Chads contract in the next 1-3 years.

[PonySnob]

2-10.

We lost to UNT last year by ~40 points, yet everyone on here has that down as a win. While our crop of freshman is better than the seniors they replace, they are still freshman and will struggle.

I still think we will be much improved relative to last year but we were not competitive in most games. So improvement may just mean losing by 1-2 TDs

The coach who shall not be named was probably a huge reason as to why we lost to NTSU last year. He had clearly mailed it in and the team fed off his lack of energy & commitment, and that stupid offense he ran.

[NewEraSMU]

Would love to see them go 6-6 or 5-7 even, but in all likelihood I see them 4-8.

[SMU21TCU10]

1-3 wins. 2-10 will be my prediction. Loss to UNT

[Charleston Pony]

I agree with those who are concerned about UNT game and think it may very well be the key to our season. Most of us expect to be trounced again by Baylor, but beating UNT after getting drubbed by them last year would go a long ways towards building some confidence. Lose to them at Ford and we are going to find out what our guys are made of (and how many might be run off at season's end). For these guys to win as many as 4 games, I see UNT as a "must win" game

Win 4, 4 competitive losses, 4 [deleted] kicked losses.....

[Harry0569]

I expect to see full grown men putting a beat down on kids in headlights. This will gradually improve as Chad gets his men on the field.

+1

2-10 ; 3-9

My pride will simply not let me consider losing to NTSU 2 years in a row....especially in our house.

If UNT we're later in the year, I would definitely call it a W. I waver since it's so early and I'm not sure how much our offensive/defensive schemes will be ready since they are brand new.

But I suppose it's time to place my wager: 4 - 8. The sheer lack of players on last year's team makes me hesitant to go higher. If I did go higher, I would have us stealing either Navy or USF on the road. As it is, my prediction is 4-3 at home and 0-5 on the road.

Baylor - Loss
North Texas - Win
TCU - Loss
James Madison - Win
East Carolina - Loss
Houston - Loss
USF - Loss
Tulsa - Win
Temple - Loss
Navy - Loss
Tulane -Win
Memphis - Loss

I honestly don't know how anyone can predict the season at this point. There are so many unknowns with a new staff, new players, a new system and a complete culture change. I'm taking the jt stang approach of no expectations until the first of November when the hoops season tips.

The TCU and Baylor scores sound about right. And lol at last year...who knew it would be such a mess.

[Mustang75]

Was reading about Deon Green in the media guide. I assume he sits out this year?

[EastStang]

I'm going out on a limb and say 6-6, with one of the wins being a shocker over then #1 ranked TCU. Umm, that Kool Aide tasted good. I think the big game for the year will be the UH game where Herman meets HCCM. We may see a basketball score in that game.
