one win for us is a realistic possibility. Especially if our defense is as bad as they showed last night. Of the non-conference games left its very possible that both GT AND Houston will be top 15 teams when we play them and will likely rack up major point totals. MTSU should be beatable for us but its on the road and evidently they trashed Memphis pretty good last night. We didn't exactly blow them out at home last year anyway. In conference, ALL of our most winnable games are on the road which makes things difficult in and of itself. Vandy, KY, and Ark are all beatable but we will have to do it as road underdogs in those games and its a realistic possibility we won't end up winning any of those. The SEC home schedule is just plain brutal with Florida, Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss. If those aren't the top 4 teams in the conference I would venture to say they are all in at least the top 6. This truly is the schedule from hell for a team trying to rebuild itself. We will likely win another game or two along the way but its bad when you could actually be as good or better than you were last year overall and end up with a game or two less wins (given we only had 4 last year). We could certainly also win 4 or 5 games but not unless our defense makes tremendous strides from what was on display last night.

Texas played in Laramie, Wyoming on Saturday. This is the new landscape with the 12th game. Folks are scrambling for games, and the little guy now has leverage to make the big boys come to them.

Our offense is abot 5 times better than the last couple of years. And it is not that good. Under the Coomster though, it was a steaming pile.

Now our offense is decent already. If I were Mullen, I'd be happy with the offensive progress. Especially with our crappy line, and mediocore QB, WR, and RBs...come on. We look pretty good considering who we have.

Defense///whew. Hard to watch. As EVERYONE has already said...we need to clear the becnh. I'd jsut have everyone on the team run the 40. The fastest 15 that are not playing now, are now on D.

and they played at UTEP last year, and at Central Florida the year before. I wish people would stop thinking we're the only school that goes on the road to play non-BCS schools.
