In before the "play 'Bama", join THE AMERICAN!!!!!!, our schedule sucks, Louisiana Tech plays Aubun" crowd.
Good schedule. Backloaded in terms of the conf.. Wish the bye was some other week.

We are gonna be one tired and beat up team come time to play WKU. No bye week is stupid and will cost us.
Its essentially not having a bye week at all.
Its comical to me that people make so much to-do about the damage football does to players, but then we keep increasing the number of games played, while cutting the number of bye weeks.

Luscious,
I don't remember how many football coaches have told me the same thing. Ironic that we seem to be concerned with player safety but we continue to extend the season, increase time for summer workouts and yet stubbornly hold to the 85 player limit to make things more fair for smaller schools.
I see about 4 games in which the starters should be pulled by the half before the final game. So we should rest them as often as possible
Much better schedule than last year. As for the bye week we went 11 games before we saw one last season and it was right before WKU. Obviously, it didn't help so who knows.
We play several games in our conference that are bye weeks. We will be fine. Other than Morgan State I like our schedule.
i agree about the "break" the guys will get against our scrub opponents, but they will still have to prepare all week like normal and likely play 3 quarters. the biggest benefit of a bye week is for injured players (especially those with nagging injuries). we were killed with injuries last season. maybe a mid season bye would have prevented that MTSU loss. maybe our kicker doesn't go nuts. we also have to include the notion that the "committee" is only checking our box scores...
nonetheless, we have a schedule very similar to the '99 season that allowed a top 10 finish. this team is much younger and less battle tested than the '99 team, but they have a huge opportunity to do something special.

I know I am in the minority, but given we have 2 decent P5 opponents on the schedule I am fine with opening with and FCS team, especially since we will be starting the season a week later than almost everyone else.
Wish something could have been done about the bye week but I know that is out of our control.

I agree 100%. We have no bye week, we jump into the toughest part of our sked with Bowl win Akron, then UL then Pitt.
Great schedule and Morgan will be a good home opener , knock the rust off and hopefully give us a decent game.
What I like about the Pitt game is we are playing a great P5 team that's logistically close we csn travel to and represent Marshall.

Did we not have a bye the first week last year too? or was it just a late start to the season for us?
I would be curious to see our Won/Lose record coming out of a "bye week"... Im just to lazy to look it up...
