2018 Schedule sets up nice

Has anyone looked at it? First test is 5th game against Mullen. Then we get Auburn at home. Personally I think we cruise through florida and ride the high from it to play Auburn. We should be 5-0 going into that game and it will be an afternoon or night game most likely. Then we get a bye week and take on LSU on the road. If we are able to beat Auburn that will be huge... coming off a big win like that we'll need a week to recharge before a tough road game at LSU. Then A&M at home. Should be tough but having it at home helps. Then we get La Tech (at home). This is a great game to get some of our 2 deep more snaps so we can go into the Bama game a little more fresh than if we were coming off any other SEC team. Super stoked and kinda glad that mullen has gone. He was great for us, but I think he was beginning to get a little stale.

Don’t overlook the road trip to Kansas State in Week 2. They return something like 17 starters from a pretty good team. They beat Oklahoma State this year and played Oklahoma close.

I will be really disappointed if we lose to Florida at home, especially now with the added Mullen factor. That is our first big home game so DWS will be a zoo.

Need to at least split the Auburn and LSU games. We return more than both of them so it’s doable.

I will be disappointed with anything less than 9-3. I know that’s a lot to ask of a first year coach, but I believe it’s more than possible with roster we have. And we should be good enough to challenge for the West.

We will be installing a new offense as well, it took PSU a couple games to really get it going.

Bama game at home next year? Thought we would be playing over there since we played them at home this year. Or did you mean their home?

Yes we better not overlook KSU. They are VERY good at home.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

yeah that was supposed to be La Tech. I do really like everything though. K State should be a good team but i think i like our 18 starters returning better than their 17 and i think this team will be ready to ball out for the new coach.

 

[FQDawg]

This is an important point. There's always a transition period with a new coach, even if the offenses are based on similar concepts. Plus, how strongly Fitz will come back is a legitimate question.

 

[BossDawg78]

I would cool my expectations a little, but that's me. We're gonna have growing pains across the board, especially with the offense JoMo will install.
