So we went 4-8 last year...

1) Overall I expect the team to just plain be better this year.
2) Likewise, I expect the coaching staff to be better too.
3) Everybody's afraid of OU. I don't know if it's the green uniforms, but this is not going to be Marshall 2.0 .
4) Everybody's also afraid of SMU. We should have beaten them last year. They've lost their coach and #18, who caught 162 passes against us including a 4th and 73 miracle that saved their skins. We're not losing to them.
5) If we offer ANY defense at all against Navy, we can beat them. We put 32 on them and was within striking distance the entire game with them going through our D like sh*t through a goose.
6) Somebody in the group of Temple, USF or UCF is going to have an off year and lay an egg. We're beating one of those... at least.
7) I don't think the Miami, Tulane and UConn games are going to be as close as they were last year... because we're better this year.

I'd say 8-4 but I fear we will have a WTF game against someone that we should have beat, so I'm calling a solid 7-5.

... and a glorious win against Western Montana Tech in the Badboy Mowers bowl.
