Has us in the Bahamas Bowl against Toledo.

Also has Yulee, Gaines and Wells as the first, second and third ranked incoming freshman in the entire conference.

No way we lose to MT at home. They'll have to win it by beating everyone else. jmo.

I don't think we will lose to them either, but I guess until we know how our secondary holds up it can be hard to say for sure against a passing offense like them and USM.

It's all going to boil down to getting pressure on the qb like we did Mullens last year.

Payback at home for MTSU, big time.

The departures in the secondary have me worried more than anything.

MTSU might be the worst-coached team in the entire conference. They probably should have beaten us by 2 touches last year.

Possibly but at the same time how many field goals did we miss, it was VT all over again.........without the rain.

 

[beefcake0520]

I know this much, MTSU can win decently in conference, like their first year with us and ECU still part of things...........go to a bowl game and blow it every time. Not even close scores.

Nothing beats them running a trick play at the end of the half instead of just trying for a field goal, and their coach saying to the sideline reporter who asked about the decision, "This game isn't going to be decided by a few points."

Its a good thing his son is a good QB.
