Lane and Brumfeld LOSE

Yes, which is why their ranking was so absurd. Both they and Clemson are paper tigers (pardon the pun).

Miami probably finally wins ACC this year though to be honest its pretty wide open. NC State may have a chance after they get flogged by Tenn this weekend.
Preseason rankings are absurd to begin with. But we could probably have a whole thread on that.

I find it super ironic that the two "biggest values" in the ACC are awful this year, a TV contract year with ESPN having to opt in to the extension. Sure it is just one year and they are extremely valuable brands overall, FSU especially, but it still is hilarious bassackwards karma.

FOOTBALL Week Two Depth Chart

NOTES:

- Ethan Ellis, Parker Hughes, Drew Francis, and Marvae Myers not listed. It is worth saying that Myers played on special teams last week despite not being listed on the depth chart

- Julius Pierce, J’shun Bodiford, and De’Arre McDonald are both not listed after getting banged up last week.

- Simon Wilson slides over to guard as expected. Morgan Scott steps into the starting RT job for Bodiford… Jalen Jackson steps in for McDonald.

- Holden Willis listed as sole starter at tight end

Dart, Ole Miss passing attack poses enormous challenge for MTSU defense

Agreed, something that I think will go unnoticed but could be something to monitor is Mason’s success against Kiffin.

DM is 3-1 against Lane and has held him to 20 or less points in two games including 2021. When Mason was at Auburn, and one could argue they had a better QB (Matt Corral) than Jaxson Dart.

That being said, I still don’t think they can hold up against the Ole Miss offense for four quarters.

Dart, Ole Miss passing attack poses enormous challenge for MTSU defense

After a record-setting week one win for the Rebels, they present an enormous challenge for Brian Stewart and the MTSU defense.

FOOTBALL INSTANT ANALYSIS: Middle Tennessee earns victory over Tennessee Tech behind final drive

It's not vanilla play calling, it's not saving for your best players for Ole Miss and WKU, it's basically a new team, that hasn't played anyone but themselves, now you have actual game film to coach from and you see how players reacted with the lights on. You can now coach and fix issues, TTU had transfers that could play and new staff, so you had no film to get ready for, and it almost bit MT in the ass. Everyone has played a game, so you have film now with what teams want to do.

FOOTBALL INSTANT ANALYSIS: Middle Tennessee earns victory over Tennessee Tech behind final drive

I like your theory & you guys may be right. Masking our best players & plays for the upcoming Ole Miss game is a good theory & may have been the plan. Unfortunately when it comes to Kiffen it probably won't matter. Furman is a perennial FCS contender. They went 10-3 last year before losing in OT to Montana in the FCS playoffs last year.
Ole Miss put them down 76-0. No coach in America relishes destroying their opponent more than Kiffen.
Predicting we'll be a little closer than Furman in score, but not by much.
Ole Miss: 63
MT: 10
Furman is no where near what they were last year, they are a new team and all those seniors are gone. They will finish mid pack in the Socon if they are lucky.
