No changes to the coaches but we did add some experience (3 UAB players..2 starters) in players. Western was so young last year and actually would play decent defense for 2 plays then give up a big gainer on 3rd down. Or plat decent for 3 downs and give up the first on 4th. With young players all it takes is a mistake to open the door for a long play.

I think we are at the very least 15% better on defense this year in getting off the field on 3rd or 4th down. Last year that would have been good enough 3 more wins. Probably 4. Western lead by double digits in every game but Tech mid way through the 3rd qt. Playing fast hurts more later in the game when you are young on defense and the 2nd are even younger.

Western is sitting where Marshall was at this time last year...all the hype going into the season. Marshall delivered and with Western having a SEC and Big10 team on the schedule early we could get ranked a lot earlier than Marshall....especially with LSU as game 8 and making it respectable or pulling off the upset of the season.

if we deliver on the preseason hype.

LOL...

You care to explain what is so funny to you?

Western doesn't have a team full of superheros like Marshall on defense but then again when you have a offense that can score you don't have to have superheros. I think that showed last year and a small improvement in getting off the field helps a lot.

Every time you post its funny. I don't think anyone takes you serious anymore.
