Looking back at the last 2 seasons where we had the most success, 2012 and 2014...guys I hate to say it but we basically had the equivalent to a NFL preseason.
Our coaching staff needs a very easy start to the season to get us in the zone / on the right track right off the bat. 2012 we started out Jackson State, very down Auburn, Troy, and USA. 2014 we start out USM, UAB, and USA.
The years when we have an early tough opponent we have struggled and it takes until mid season for our Staff to get the ship turned around.
On the bright side this is the time of year when our Staff starts righting the ship---couple that with Troy, La. Tech, and Kentucky all at home, plus playing some of our younger more talented players the next few weeks, we can become a very good team just in time to host Alabama and Ole Miss at DWS.
