Well, we won't be scheming to stop a particular RB (like OSU's "former" Heisman Trophy candidate-Ollie G.) which we did, actually. So the pass defense should improve a lot and our Offense improves a lot, so.....I like Rusty C.'s pick TU-35 LaT-31. And please, no more fumbles on the 1 and/or Pers fouls with a chance to win. Reverse these, and we win the close ones that we didn't last season.

Milan vs Liverpool ended 3-1. Pulisic's goal came after a 45-yard sprint with the ball and from a tough angle slotted it home to the far corner. Milan still has a back line problem and with their home town rival next up, an Inter victory over Milan may get their new coach (Fonseca) sacked already. BTW-Pulisic leads the team in scoring with 3 goals & 2 assists in 5 games.

More Yanks in the Ch. Lg. today include Tillman and Pepe (off the bench) vs. Juventus with Wes McKennie starting and I think Tim Weah came off the bench. Hallelujah! McKennie scores Juve's 2nd in a 3-1 win. He hasn't scored for anyone in about 18 months (although he did get 10 assists last season in limited duty). Juve tried to dump him in the recent xfer window but no takers. This goal will no doubt help Weston's confidence and hopefully more PT for him.

Well, I think we will be able to pass the ball on them alot too, and probably run it as well.

I don't disagree, and think that we can move the ball on the ground against their defense effectively to open up the passing game, thus a high scoring affair. Defense honestly scares me to death with this team. Anything that gets behind the front seven, and even in cases where he drops the LB's into coverage, is a recipe for disaster to this point. Seems that there are always large voids in the coverage that go completely undefended.

My hearts says Tulsa, but the game being played in the armpit of Louisiana doesn't give me a great deal of confidence.

Let's hope we can either get to the quarterback before he throws the ball, the DC figures things out and changes his "coverage" schemes, and/or our DB's and safeties get some things figured out. Like you, I don't expect much progress on my dream list, so a 35-31 affair seems to be in order.

Sagarin has us #126 and LaTech is #138. Given home field advantage Sagarin has LaTech as one point favorite. LaTech isn’t any good. We aren’t either but I think I do believe we bounce back and get a road win.

The Milan goalkeeper looks like he’s 12.

Their QB has 351 yards through 2 games, but he's going to have 300+ against us? I don't see it.

I could certainly see LaTech passing for 300 yards against our secondary. The key imo is to hold them under 100 on the ground. I have zero confidence in our secondary at this point.

TU 1
La Tech 0

I had no idea Sonny Cumbie was their coach.

You're being a little dramatic here. Let's not act like La Tech is some world beater and we MAY have a chance to win. I highly doubt they'll have that kind of success against us.

from their message board ..
“ I
have seen enough of Tech and the opponents remaining on our schedule to say, a "good" Tech team would finish 8-4. That's not going to happen with Crummy as coach.

CUSA sucks! I mean, this conference is not just bad, it is horrible! Easily the worst FBS league, and it's not even close. We used to compete with the MAC for the cellar, but those guys are on the steps out of the cellar, and we're still hugging the floor. This is why, with 8 CUSA games to play yet, I think we SHOULD finish 8-4. No accomplishment, it would just be a matter of not sucking as bad as our CUSA opponents. (I am still liking our defense, gives me a slimmer of hope). But, Crummy is the worst coach in the league, by far, and he'll nullify any chance the team might have had of a winning season.

Tulsa sucks, gives me a little hope of picking up a win there. Arkansas sucks too, but we just can't beat a P5 in the regular season, no matter how bad they are. Dykes is the last coach to record a regular season P5 win, back in 2012.
