re: 2024 Season Prediction Thread

I think Weigman is the most talented QB on the roster, but I think he’s vastly overrated by a section of our fanbase. The injuries and a completely shite staff have stunted his development but he still has some serious holes as a prospect

8-4 to 9-3 seem likely.

With an unproven OLine, and an entirely new O being put in, by entirely new set of coaches no less, not to mention a less than stellar crew from the transfer portal to try and plug immediate holes in the lineup, until proven otherwise, we would be luck to go 7-5 or 6-6 and qualify for a bowl game. 8-4 with a bowl game win making 9-4 should make us giddy for the future (it's always the future hope! haha).

Notre Lame: L

Mac-an-ease: easy W

@Gata: first road game, though possibly struggling team as well. toss-up. I'm giving us a W.

Bowling : the W that gets us bowling? haha

Arky: this is a must W, hopefully coaches and players get it done.

Mizzou: these tigers will maul us for a L.

OFF: that's a W

@MissSt: this has got to be a W

LSWho: they're likely too strong, A&M too weak especially at OL. L

@SCe: this used to be an automatic W. Not sure if SCe is reloaded, hoping for a W.

NMSU: the right Ags get the W here

@Aubs: this should be a W.

Tu: this is an L.


I'm happy to be proven wrong on the specifics, especially that last L, for example.

8-4, but I can easily see losses @Flordia and @Auburn or @SCe. Road games are tough to win in the SEC. 6-6 to 8-4, with likely 7-5.

I think the floor is 7-5 and the ceiling is 10-2. Someone said it earlier in the thread that it’s 8-4 until proven otherwise and I agree with that statement. I want to believe that a lot of the issues we had with Jimbo such as being poorly prepared for away games and terrible clock management will be fixed by Elko or at the very least improved. Those two factors alone definitely cost us games. But again until proven I can’t bank on it.
I think ND is a hugely important game, obviously they’re ranked and it’ll be gameday and the start of the Elko era but if you win that game you get some massive momentum early in the season. The UF game scares me cause it’s early in the season where they may have “hope” still and Napier is gonna be coaching for his life plus they’re at home. I think on paper we’re probably better but that’s gonna be a tough one early. If Elko can start off 4-0 and navigate that little stretch our next hardest teams will all be at home and who knows what can happen. But you lose to ND and stumble at UF there’s gonna be some tough moments throughout the season. I’m very much in wait and see mode but I have a ton of confidence in Elko to at the very least improve a lot of the little things we seemingly couldn’t get right under Jimbo. I think most realistic is 8-4 9-3 and that to me is a good start to his tenure but we shall see. Either way I’m excited for the season

I’m okay with 2-10 if it means wins vs LSU and tu

But I’m going 8-4 winning one we shouldn’t on paper and losing one we should have one.

Glad we get a bye week before powerhouse NM

I don’t think any of what I said is koolaid.

The schedule is very manageable on paper.

I know pre-season rankings don't mean much, but we're playing #4, #5, #7, and #12. Fortunately, we were able to avoid #1, #6, and #9 this year.

9-3.

9-3.

I think we lose to ND, but then grab some momentum.

Lay an egg at Williams-Brice and lose to the Cocks. We always have a WTF? road game.

Lose to tu. They are still in our heads.

Edit to increase to 4 losses after seeing first half offense.

Double edit,,, to increase to 6 losses after seeing 2nd half offense.
