Well, I put alot of thought into this before I make a prediction. I dont want to get to excited because with high expectations, comes a high risk of dissapointment, but also at this time, its the time you should be excited, thus here we go.
Sept. 4 (Saturday) NORTHWESTERN STATE - We win this game, but its alot closer than most expect. Possibly a late field-goal or touchdown seals it for us. A rough start but results are all that matter and we win.
Sept. 11 (Saturday) at Louisiana Tech - Depending on just how well we improve, we could easily win this game big, or lose this game big, but Im one for the middle ground. We will be improved but La Tech plays well early in the season, so this will be difficult. I think this is a loss.
Sept. 18 (Saturday) at Kansas State - We show some grit early, but they pull away in the second half. Our worst loss of the season.
Sept. 25 (Saturday) * MIDDLE TENNESSEE - Again, another impressive game against these guys, but the tables have turned, were in the upswing, while their in the down. I predict a double digit win, gets our moral back up.
OCTOBER
Oct. 2 (Saturday) at Florida International - Following the big Win over Middle Tennessee, we goto FIU out of conference. This game will be closer than last year, but that isnt saying much. I think a 14 points or less will be the win margin.
Oct. 9 (Saturday) * at New Mexico State - Resting some of our better players, we come to play and take out NMSU. We are on a roll.
Oct. 16 (Saturday) * at Idaho - I feel bad for them, I truly think they are the worst team in the belt this year, but the kibby dome is a hard place to win, so I predict a 7 point or less win.
Oct. 23 (Saturday) * ARKANSAS STATE - ASU will come to play, It goes to the 4th, but unfortunatly, ASU wins one from us.
Oct. 30 (Saturday) OPEN DATE
NOVEMBER
Nov. 5 (Friday) * NORTH TEXAS - An open date helps us regroup with only 1 in conference loss, and the 2 teams that are ahead we still have shots at. A home game vs the top dog on national TV. With a huge crowd and a pumped team, not to mention being on 2 weeks rest while UNT is on a short week, we win this one, a huge feat for us or any team in the belt.
Nov. 13 (Saturday) * TROY STATE - TSU is a good team, but we catch them at a good time, after a big win, and have an extra day to prepare because we played on the friday and they play on saturday. A day comes in handy when you really need it. We win this one, like a 10 point win.
Nov. 20 (Saturday) * at Louisiana-Monroe - Make or break it game. In years past playing ULM has been only important for us and them, this year, its atleast very important for us to get to the New Orleans bowl. We win this game going away to get where we need to get.
We finish 8-3 in the regular season with losses to ASU,La Tech, and KSU. If we lose one or even 2 more i'll be happy, but missing out on a winning season will dissapoint me.
