Another fairly tough draw out of the East. Glad Georgia State is our East away game since it's such an easy trip.

It's a very, very winnable schedule.
JMU loses a lot of key players, including their star QB.
Kansas State loses a whole bunch of guys, plus their QB.
There isn't anyone that is particularly scary. If Troy goes undefeated, then it'll be a trip to a NY6 Bowl.

I think it leans to our advantage. There are only 2 conference away games that concern me, ga st and SMU (USM).

The Defense can still be awesome. So, cautiously optimistic about at least 10 wins. If we overshoot by 2-3 games as we kind of did this year...........that is 12-13 wins. The inverse is also possible but not likely.

Take off the cardinal shaded glasses. The naivety always is funny and sad. 1, Troy loses a lot. A lot. The defense is gutted in talent and leadership. We simply will not be as good as this year. Big issue to repeating 12 wins. Offense has major losses too. Major. 2, our OC remains. Hopefully he produces a good offense for the first time ever in his career but have to wait to see if he can actually do it. 3, our QB situation is desperate. I’ll give #18 this, he has played and passed a football in a collegiate game. He gets nicked, who y’all got ? Why we need to bring in a transfer QB badly. Some word things are cooking on that. Cross fingers.
If everything stays the same and Troy wins 12 again, JS needs to ahead and walk to wherever he wants, he is wasting his time at Troy.
Additions and changes needed for Troy to repeat 12 Wins or even sniff NY6 bowl.

I believe my prediction even with losses. 7-13 wins. So, while maybe rose colored but we shall see. If we keep those we have D can be good but this past one was super special.

For cross division games, if we draw App in a future season, will we be guaranteed a home game?

K-State had an amazing recruiting class including a QB that will start as a Freshman. We got our work cut out for us in the 9th. For what it's worth, my daughter is headed to school there. Ho absolutely love Manhattan but we are already having some issues in the Ho House.

Figures, they're still the darlings. That’s not how scheduling is going to work going forward. We might not see app on our schedule for a few years unless in CCG. The new kids coming in didn’t want to do it how Cusa did, a rotation home and away then move on to another school. Some programs didn’t play for up to 7 years because of that.

Is there a date set for Army? I want to go to this game. Always wanted to see West Point (have visited and walked around Annapolis "Pre 9-11 and it was amazing and West Point is way more beautiful). The JMU home game is going to be good. Don't take them lightly. They have a great coach who is a consistent winner at D2, FCS and now FBS. They will be the beast of the East and we are the Best of the West.

Nothing special about Kansas unless you like flat land with no trees but I still might try to make this game.

Nothing special about Kansas unless you like flat land with no trees but I still might try to make this game. Now believe it or not the state is about 400 miles wide and it's only the last 374 miles that are flat with very few trees (if any). I grew up about 20 miles from the Missouri River in the far North-East of the state. We actually have a few trees (no forest) and a few hills. But you are right the rest of it is pretty flat. The far South-East is pretty decent where it is not too far from the Ozarks. Good basketball. Have to defend the homeland you know.

That Monroe game at their place is always an anxiety inducing affair. They always play us tough, especially down in the duck pond or whatever they call their "stadium".

Additions and changes needed for Troy to repeat 12 Wins or even sniff NY6 bowl. cornhole has great confidence that this HC and staff are keenly aware of what needs to be fixed, what needs to be done and who needs to be involved for next season's success. 12 wins? Who knows? But we do know it won't be from lack of effort(s) and "Just need to review the videos" attitude! confidence, (and maybe a large pitcher of cardinal Kool-Ade) is refreshing.

I think we have a chance to win 10+ games on this schedule.
Army, WKU, & K-State are tough games though. Glad we’re hosting the 2 most difficult SBC teams from this past season in JMU & South. That game in Hattiesburg is going to be tough though.
