I expect a hard fought game from you guys. I expect that the problem you will face will come in the third and fourth quarters, when you will have depth problems.

Especially after playing a rivalry game on the road 5 days before the USA game.

App isn't scared of us. App is just not going to have the same size, speed, and depth.

Depth for sure. Size probably true. Speed - doubt you have more speed, but may be wrong.

Man, y'all have an easy schedule. NMSU, Idaho, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, and App. That's five games where you should be big favorites.

To get to six you'll have to win one of @USA, ULL, @ULM. Possible, especially if ULM or USA have QB change over issues.

No Arkansas State. No Texas State

OOC - @UAB (not a gimmie and they'll have something to prove - but you guys should be at least even money there), some FCS moveup (win), Duke at home (a reach but you could win), and then a game you'll probably lose (@Georgia).

Yea, barring some collapse, you guys should be bowling next year. You guys have 7 games where you'll be favored or even money, and then you have 4 plausible upsets in case you get upset somewhere in the 7 games where you'll be favored.

Not much of a season for exciting games, but that's a bowl inducing schedule if I've ever seen one. If you guys don't get to a bowl, then that's a sign of big problems.

Id say Georgia Southern and Troy have two of the easiest schedules in the league by far. GSU misses both ASU and ULL, while Troy misses ASU and hosts ULL.

If I was honest, I think App State has the hardest schedule.

I agree. That's why I picked them last.

Thanks for picking us last. Will be good bulletin board material for the game.
And yes, we probably do have the hardest schedule. Life's not easy, but there are no problems, just opportunities. If we get kicked in the teeth some this year, just means we will work harder to get even better.

Bulletin board material doesn't come from a message board, stop kidding yourself. It comes when coaches or players are dumb enough to say something inflammatory about their opponent.

I'm sure you remember our dumb*** S&C coach during 2009 and what he said right before the season. You guys only played his comments on your video board during pregame about 20 times.
