I haven't looked at schedules, but it would seem Texas State has a number of returning starters including the QB. I'm not as high on USA, because they lost a number of starters on both sides including some very good defensive players.

Our schedule is pretty tough. Just getting to 2-2 out of conference means beating Utah State and their star QB but we do get them at home. Miami and Tennessee will be tall orders. We don't get Ga. So. or Troy. I think we beat Ga. St., Idaho, NMSU, ULM and App. St. and that gets us to 7. That leaves USA at home and road games vs. TXST and UL. I think we beat USA at our place. UL will be tough but we have had success there so not unwinnable. First trip to TXST and their DC knows us well.

We return everyone form our back 7 on defense. Our DEs are solid. Interior DL is our big unknown. We get back 3 starters on the OL. We return the leading WR in the league, a top TE, a star RB and an athletic QB who won a bowl game and rallied us to beat WKU before they scored on 9th and goal.

We may not run away with the league but don't count us out as we return from our one year departure from our offensive identity.

USA vs. Louisiana in Lafayette should be a classic matchup as both should be the top two teams in the league this year.

After the butt whipping the Cajuns took in mobile last season, I don't expect that game to be as close as you anticipate. Hudspeth has been good about flipping the table the next season after a bad loss. BTW. exactly how many snaps has your QB taken in actual FBS games? He maybe the next Teddy Bridgewater in ability, but I've seen nothing that proves he is anything but a question at this point.

He may be a question to most of you that are unfamiliar with his talent, abilities and athleticism. He's the real deal, and you can take it to the bank. Barring injuries, he'll make believers out of the SBC teams in 2014.

Well, that remains to be seen. So he is a prospect, means he has accomplished nothing to this point for discussion other than potential.
