Same. 5-7 but I hope I’m wrong.

Just got a feeling there is something special about this team.

I expect Thursday to be vanilla. I don’t think they will want to show BV anything at all because that ULM game is a huge game. Need to end the road slide and make a statement with that one.

The swing games to me are Navy, Army and Rice. Last year’s team would have gotten beaten up by all three so winning those would say a lot about the improvement in physicality and line of scrimmage.

5-7 (or worse) would be just as bad as BV's 6-6 (plus bowl win) season. Had all that talent and then did nothing with it with an easy CUSA schedule.

This season should be easier than last season by not playing Georgia, UTSA, and getting Tulane at home without Pratt. We have also bulked up in all 3 sides of the ball.

Not making a bowl game this year will be a huge disappointing digression and Dilf's seat will start burning.

Unless the team has improved a lot, it's still a pretty tough schedule. It's not out of the realm of possibility that we don't win a game in SEP and/or OCT given the teams recent history.

Brett McMurphy bowls...

Has us in the Myrtle Beach bowl vs Troy

7-5

5-7 won't make folks happy, but if it's close losses without dumb penalties and calls, and the defense is improved, then maybe it'll be a bitter pill to swallow. But 5-7 or 4-8 with no improvement on defense and more Navy, GSU, and Louisiana type losses and he better not unpack until the end of the 2025 season.

Gotta give a coach three to 4 years to get his guys fully in that fit his system. At three years you see what you're getting. At four years, calls gotta be made.

4-8 maybe 3-9 is my new prediction.

Dilfer needs to speak less and produce more

3-9 is mine too. We beat UCONN and Tulsa. Lose the rest.

1-11

The OLine issue is worse than it was last year, as of now.

Sticking with my same 6-6 until proven wrong. LOL It's like groundhog day around here.

Blazers take it on the chin next week, then bounce back with a big W against Navy on the way to 6-6

5 WIN WILL BE AN improvement , 6 will be fun , 7 ?? will be great
WIN against tulsa uconn rice and charlotte and maybe a miracle against a TRIPLE option team ....we need to freaking pass the ball

I think it will be a close race to see if UAB football outdraws the Stallions.

Welp, I blew that one too.
I’d love to see the boys win at least 1 of the next 3, but I won’t believe it until I see it
I guess 3-9 is where I’m putting my money these days

6-6 until proven wrong. Which may be soon..................

I say 3 wins max.

Good thing I didn't guess anything about this season

Moving from 5 wins down to 3
