9-3 or 8-4. We have a shot at the league title. WKU will be better than their fans predict. Our game at ODU is a trap, they will be tough there. Fortunately we have FAU and MT at home. Prolly lose at FIU. We’ll see.

Even if you have a new HC why would you want the majority of your players to stay, they are the ones on the field getting over powered each week.

Tougher maybe, but they scored 3 points on us last year and we have basically the entire defense back. I also don't think Steven Williams is that great. He was 147 for 263 passing with 1528 yards and 6 TDs and 11 INTs last year in 10 games. His 3 wins came against Charlotte, Rice and FIU. He had exactly 2 TD passes from week 5 to week 12 both against FIU.

It's not always the players, coaching is a huge component. Not saying we have enough talent to be a ranked program, but please see what happened with UCF.

I don't want to sound like a complete AHole but Im going to say it like I see it. Most of Charlotte's roster wouldn't even make it on most CAA schools rosters.

It will be interesting to look in 4 or so years to see where Charlotte is in football and basketball.

I think we have some talented pieces, but no where enough depth. The recruiting here has been abysmal. Hard to see what we may have at times due to the inability at QB and the style of play we tried to force. A lot of bad things put together to equal 1-11.

I fully expect Lambert to be relieved of duties before December gets here. We have a ways to go but the biggest roadblock to Charlotte athletics is no longer employed here.

I’m guessing 8-4 or 9-3. One game back of going to the conference championship. Behind who, I’m not sure.

WKU: 8-4

0-12 Just put us as a win in ink.

P.S. I'm one of few Monarch fans who see it this way -- but the others are hoping I'm right!

I'm hoping he's right but expecting to be bowl eligible. Or at least would be disappointed otherwise.

+1 I hope Aggie is right but personally i see Monarchs at 6-6 with a bowl.

Anywhere between 5-7 and 7-5. Question marks at QB, RB, WR, and the secondary will hold us back.

8 to 11 wins for Southern Miss.
Depends on injuries and the inexperienced secondary.

My expectations have gone down even further. What is worse than a dumpster fire?

We're disappointing too. But I still hope for an 11-3 record (provided we get another cream puff in the Boca Raton bowl as now seems likely)

I don’t know, but whatever it is count MT in that bucket too

After last night, we’ll be very lucky to avoid 0-12. What a difference in a little over a year. From the clear conference best to the absolute worst. Coaching matters, and ours is as stupid as a retarded yak.

We may get 8-4 if we improve quickly. Looks like a FAU and NT for the league honors.

After two games:

FAU's offense will be powerful and improve every week. Robison is the real deal.

The defense evaluation is incomplete: Oklahoma make everyone look bad on defense and we were simply outclassed and we had poor play. Complete disaster. Verse Air Force, you can't tell what they are capable of due to playing the triple option that AF plays. I think the defense will be fine with 10 returning starters but no opportunity to show what they really are after the first 2 games.

And now the reason everyone who thinks they will knock us off and win the division and CCG...special teams. We are awful. Terrible punter. Terrible FG kicker. The guy doesn't start his approach to kick until the holder puts the ball on the ground. We are going to have a lot FG's blocked. So as long as we don't punt or have to kick FG's we should be fine...but I think that will not be the case.

We will be bowl eligible...not willing to say we will repeat at this time based on what I have seen so far, I don't see how we can. We will NOT be in the Boca Bowl again...for one, they have not had a repeat participant. Whether that is the conference doing or the bowl doing I don't see it happening again. My guess will be FIU or La Tech.

I don't know, but DB is the deepest position we have. I am not worried.
