They have us losing to USF... brain dead prediction
Most of the close games and come from behind wins last year we’re due to poor game management and questionable quarterback play which put us in a hole. I don’t have a lot of hope for improvement in the first issue but if we could get improved QB play then we should have a winning season and a bowl game. I also think this team is talented enough to win the league.
Lots of 3,4 point wins/losses last year. We need to come out firing in 1st qtr and put the hammer down instead of 4th qtr theatrics. Keep the chains moving so the defense is well rested. Injuries could be a killer. I remember one year Memphis lost 3 QBs. Go Cane!
If Dane didn't have the keys to the car, then I bet we see the same old shizz. Hope the running back corp and O-line is as good as we believe because we, and everyone else, will know exactly what is coming.
Montgomery has been widely quoted several times both at Baylor and here that he doesn’t believe a QB fully grasps and retains his offense until at least the second game of his second year. After that he looks for indications that demonstrates the QB is capable of reliably making the decisions that open up the playbook fully. I think you’ll see a limited package that favors Brin’s strengths and features Shamari in the first few games. Things we didn’t see with Smith. They are very different players. Just a guess tho. The real point of discussion at this point is whether we see consistent play far above what we would had with Smith and why that was on the bench for a year or more.
