Rutgers game will be big.  If we can take them and win all 4 of our non-conference games then it sets us up in a much better position to win 6.  All we have to do is take 2/3 against Auburn (at home), Miss St (at home), and Ole Miss (away).  Think that is definitely possible.  I think odds are better that we win 2 of those 3 but I could see us losing 2 of those 3 as well.  I would actually be very pleased with 6-6 given how tough our schedule is this year and given the circumstances.  I would be slightly disappointed in 5-7 but would be far from being upset.  I'd be thrilled with anything over 6 wins.

Gotta give the coaching staff some time and know this could be another rough year for us given everything we lost form last season.

0.00000000000000000001% chance. 

There's a better chance of Petrino and JLS getting hired as assistants.

Texas A&M lost there front 7 on def. two first rd draft picks on off of line. there top WR.

They also lost there OC.

They have to replace a lot. we catch them early in the year at home after they play Bama..

I believe we will be 4-0 feeling very good about beating A&M. Hey its what makes us fans...

I don't see catching someone early being any advantage to us. We don't have a single skilled position that we can say we will even be good at. We may break offensive records but our skilled guys are a giant question mark. I think we will be good on the line both sides of the ball but everywhere else is a crap shoot with LB and DB's are similar to our skilled guys on offense. I think 6-6 is the ceiling for this team 4-8 the cellar

I'm just curious not trying to flame, Do some of you honestly think we will beat aTm? What makes you even kinda think this?

QuoteWe were ahead of a&m last year at their place into the 2nd quarter until Knile started acting like the football was a magnet and he was a piece of metal of opposite polarity.

And T. Wilson throwing INTs all over the field like he was coming off a concussion or something.

5-7, 3-1 non-conference w/ loss to Rutgers.  Conference wins against Aub and MS St.  Think there will be several close losses. 

12247

Assuming every team we play goes to our game without any real injuries and we do likewise, then who do we out man of our 12 regular season opponets.  My thinking is 3 or 4 teams, all OOC teams.  I do not see a conference game where just stand up and out talent the other team. 

So who do we outcoach??????  We THINK we can out coach most of the 12 staffs we face but in truth, we don't have a clue we can outcoach any of them.  Do we face an obvious Dud like Hooter and company, maybe, but I don't know where its at.

Who we play, where we play them and who we and they played the week before has a tremendous bearing on how we fair game to game in any season.  I keep looking for 2 or 3 conference wins that are locks and I don't see even one.  We should have the worst offense in the West based on experience, talent and change of scheme learning curve. 

Our defense should be much improved but thats because its been reallly bad.  We aren't going from pretty good to right down salty.  We'd be going from awful to average.

I see nothing about special teams to think we won't be the worst in several years. 

There is nothing we outsiders know for sure about attitude of players, coaching staff blending, elgibility problems, chemistry, etc.. 

This team could play its rear off all season and the coaching staff could coach its rear off all season and we could still win only 4 or 5 games.

Just to not be all negative, we could have several players be outstanding, the coaching staff could blend excellent while opponnets staffs could fail big time, we could have hardly any injuries of concern, the refs could bless us at just the right time and we might catch several teams having the worst game of their season against us.

With perfect alginment we would win all 4 OOC games and wow, 3 conference games and this team would be the talk of the decade at least.

So, I am expecting 5 wins and praying for 6 cause I just don't expect enough free lunch to carry farther than that.

Bowl Game - W

10-3 with bowl game, but can also at the same time see 5-7. I think we could possibly upset Florida with our running game (if we have one) especially if Florida's offense does not make tremendous progress. Think we could possibly upset USCe also, just don't see them being as good and we have owned that serious lately if my memory serves me correctly except for last year.

Also don't see Ole Miss being able to run the same play 4 times in a row with success again this year like last year.

Too hard to know how successful BB will be in instilling what he wants, and how quick he'll do it.

Physical line play, run the ball, limit mistakes.  that seems to be his identity he wants to stamp on the team, doing those things well usually keeps you close in games.

Then in close games, QB play means a lot, and defense.

I see 10-2 as our highest ceiling, 4-8 as our worst basement.

I agree with a lot of this.  But, Rutgers has similar talent compared to us.   There is not a big gap either direction.   So, 7-5 at best based on talent.   Which means we would have to win 4 games where the talent will be very similar and the game are almost toss ups.   If you divide those in half, that gets you to 5-7.   

However, I see us finding a way to win at Rutgers early (key to the season).   And, I think we'll beat MSU and Auburn.  So, that's 6-6. 

Based on talent:

WAY behind
Alabama
Florida
LSU
A&M

Similar

Advantage Arkansas
Louisiana

yes


With six minutes left in the first half we had driven inside a&m's 30 yd line with an opportunity to tie with a field goal or take the lead, Tyler throws a gift-wrapped INT, maybe the WR took the wrong route (?) (coaching).

Then it just seemed to fall apart.  Secondary couldn't cover anybody, big play after big play, Swope took one 80 yds.  We had a fumble picked up and ran back for a TD, etc. etc. team quit.

Just as we learned how important coaching is to the outcome of our season, this year I don't think it will be any different.  I think we will cover better this year.  I don't think we will be forced to start true freshman at CB, LB, or OL this year, really anywhere except maybe RB, which is ok.

1st Downs in that game:  25 to 32
Total Yards:  515 to 716

Does that look like the stats from a game where a team got beat 58 to 10?

Try investigating past the final score and see if that helps you to learn anything about football.

Takes special coaching talent to get 515 yards of offense and convert it into 10 pts.

On top of that, we play them at home this year, they lost much more talent to the NFL and graduation than we did.

They had ZERO turnovers against us last year.  Maybe they make a mistake this year.  There's just a lot to point to from that game that could change things this year.

Then again, they might beat us by 25, who knows.

I know what happened. Thanks for the recap anyway. We have a QB who has not looked good in any of his limited opportunities, RB's who have very limited to zero experience, LB's who are not SEC caliber and a secondary that the jury is very much out on. We will be facing a Heisman winning QB with a lot of talent around him. What happened last year will have no meaning whatsoever this year.

If they can go on the road and beat Rutgers then 6 wins and a bowl. That could happen.


10 wins?!?  What are you on dude. ( besides kool-aide)

I think it a lot of it depends on whether or not CJC is going to be given free reigns to the offense. You have to like what he did at Tenner and he looks to be a great hire. But the other day I heard a qoute from CBB about running the ball 29 times in a row. I understand he was stressing the importance of being physical. I also understand he was making a statement like if its 3rd and 1 and you know we are going to run off right tackle and everyone in the stadium knows we are going to run off right tackle then you are still not going to stop us.

I like that mentality. I just hope he lets Chaney run the offense. I want to see some play action pass if we are running the ball that well. And to be honest we should have all the ingredients for a really good passing game.

I see CBB as a CEO type. When it comes to coaching I do not think he is in the same league as CBMFP. It would seem that Long see's CBB the same way and thats why we invested big bucks in a staff that can coach. Although I do not see one staff member thats anywhere close to being as good as CBMFP.

With all of that in mind. I believe if CBB lets Chaney do his job and we don't try to run the ball 29 times in a row as I hope he joked about during that one interview then I can see us winning 9 and maybe even 10 games this year. I think we are going to have one of the best defenses we have fielded in a while and there will be a power running game to go along with our passing game.

Ah hell lets call it 10. With an upset of the Gators. GHG

" I also understand he was making a statement like if its 3rd and 1 and you know we are going to run off right tackle and everyone in the stadium knows we are going to run off right tackle then you are still not going to stop us."

That is when petrino would throw a play action TD. 

the thing is, if the defense knows you are going to do it, they will stack the line and stop you.  you keep the defense on their heels by keeping them guessing, not being predictable.  I would hope our coaches realize this and don't get stuck in the bravado phase.

I think Bama is the only pretty much guaranteed loss.

They've got at least a chance against the others.

I think less than 8 wins would be a disappointment.  We have a good staff and good players in place.  Tough schedule, but 8 wins is easily doable.

I think it will be 7-5 regular season unless we beat aTm and I think that one game could give our team enough confidence for a 2 game swing to make it 9-3.

Rutgers game will be big.  If we can take them and win all 4 of our non-conference games then it sets us up in a much better position to win 6.  All we have to do is take 2/3 against Auburn (at home), Miss St (at home), and Ole Miss (away).  Think that is definitely possible.  I think odds are better that we win 2 of those 3 but I could see us losing 2 of those 3 as well.  I would actually be very pleased with 6-6 given how tough our schedule is this year and given the circumstances.  I would be slightly disappointed in 5-7 but would be far from being upset.  I'd be thrilled with anything over 6 wins.

Gotta give the coaching staff some time and know this could be another rough year for us given everything we lost form last season.

Huckleberry sums it up pretty close IMO. Lot's of IFs, but IF things go right, we should be within a touchdown on the spread with all but the big 3 away SEC games. We have a legitimate chance of going 8-4 without too much stretching.

11-2 (L's to bama and LSU) BCS bowl win!!!!! Wooooo pig soooorry

From 4-8 to 7-5.  The best case scenario may depend on whether the QB spot gels or not.  I believe the lines will be better on both sides and the running game will be improved.  Overall Defense will be better.  In the spring game the qb play was not at all remarkable and we are thinner at that position now.  If it doesn't improve significantly we may be looking at the worst case scenario. Fingers crossed.

6-6, 2-6 in SEC, 7-6 after bowl victory.

Then back on the recruiting trail.

I'm with Biggus.

I figure 8-4, with our losses being to Bama, Florida,  LSU, and Gamecocks.
It really is this simple. Unchecked government power leads to corruption, and lack of accountability for it is drastically eroding confidence in our institutions.    aristotle
