Damn - you beat me to it.

"Who's No. 115? The last coach to notch a winning season at this program won 37 games during his four years as a college defensive end."
Would be Tony Samuels of course.
Hopefully that's an apt reference as the last winning season was in the SunBelt.
115 is not glam, but it's progress ( and better than Cal? )
Of course the preview plus $7 will get you a Starbucks, so...


Go Aggies.

For some reason made me think of the other Starbuck. Been years.

Hope you guys have a good season. At least it isn't such a monster schedule as you had last year. Good and bad I guess.

So, I miss things - dunno if this Spring Primer was posted back in March, or no:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nca...y/6596399/

But it includes a 'way too':

Early projected order of finish:

Louisiana-Lafayette
South Alabama
Arkansas State
Troy
Louisiana-Monroe
Texas State
Georgia Southern
Appalachian State
Idaho
New Mexico State
Georgia State

Well, fair I guess - outside of a quibble - two wins over Idaho 2011 & 2013.

Didn't realize LY was the worst D on record, though the schedule was killer.

Only true Crimson glasses would lead one to believe Freshmen are going to
improve the D a lot - but Spring is for Hope, no?

Yeah, freshmen can help, but seldom will they play up to hopes.

High point: Beating Idaho in the season finale. The loss doubles as Idaho's low point, as you might expect.

Low point: It doesn't – and won't ever again, if Martin has his way – get any worse than the rivalry loss to New Mexico.

Defense: The question isn't whether freshmen will play but how many; the question isn't whether NMSU's defense will be awful but how awful, and whether Coyer can unite a troubling combination of neophytes and non-producers into a near-competent attack. In terms of nuts and bolts, look for two changes: NMSU will transition to a 4-3 base set while the secondary leans away from more man-to-man coverage, a nice move for a group lacking athleticism. Not that it'll mean much for this defense, which was atrocious a season ago and might, with some solid coaching and development, be merely terrible in 2014.

It's obvious this writer hasn't a clue what he's talking about...

Quote:Five players we'll be talking about:

4. Western Kentucky DB Cam Thomas. Thomas is the solidifying force on a defense that should again rank among the league's best.

Given WKU won't be in the SBC next season, the SBC will be talking about Cam Thomas why again?

It seems that Troy may fit the clue for #77.

Quote:UP NEXT:

Who's No. 77?
This team's quarterbacks coach was 14 when its head coach notched his first career win.

I believe TROY is the next team...that leaves Red Woofs, Cajuns, and so bama...in no particular order, of course.

Agree. Troy should be next, leaving Arkansas State, South Alabama, and Louisiana-Lafayette.

At least this is encouraging:

"The Warhawks' last two teams are the first in the program's FBS history – beginning in 1994 – to post back-to-back non-losing seasons. In all, the 14 victories since the start of 2012 are the program's most during a two-year span since going 19-6 from 1992-93."

Nice write up over all and I do expect some help defensively from the Georgia Tech transfer Williams at D end who is eligible to play this year.
