re: Did you change your predictions yet...

I'm with you. Rice's running on A&M has me slightly optimistic. And what makes me even more confident is Brandon Allen. He's playing great ball, IMO. Not perfect, but exactly what we've needed and more even. If he can just hit those rare wide-open opportunities with any consistency we'd have something.

And that's not even mentioning the defense. I have to admit that our linebackers and the secondary played some pretty great defense considering our opponent. I expected that Tech would throw for over 400 yards. To hold them to 250'ish is pretty damn good. The linebackers both looked much better in coverage and we should have had at least 2-3 more interceptions.

Really liking our freshmen DB's, too. Liddell plays fast. Tolliver freakin' started and looked good all day.

Tevin Mitchel was mostly good, too. He had one bad play but otherwise did great.

Think we've got a lot to be excited about. My original prediction was 7-5. I think that's still about right, but I could see us messing around and pulling 9-3 out of our asses if we got lucky.
