FOOTBALL Early 2025 football discussion
- Thread starter Matt Dossett
- Start date
I’d be lying if I I said I had any inkling of how we’re going to be…much less our opponents at this level.
I like the fact that we have a returning quality QB, we seem to have added some talent in the recruiting and portal classes.
But the defensive back 7 was so so bad last year; can it be fixed in one offseason?
We have a chance to get off to a pretty good start with the 2 newbs and APSU and Kennesaw in the first 6 games and Marshall’s program pretty much imploded.
Need to get to a bowl to show some progress by Mason.

Those are my thoughts too. Nevada was 3-10 last year, but that doesn't mean anything as their coach was decent at Montana St. before.
KSU, JSU, FIU, Marshall all have new head coaches, three of which are first time. Again, that doesn't always mean anything.
The portal makes it hard to base anything on the previous year. I 10000% agree though that if we don't make a bowl this year, we are in for a long road with Mason.

As long as the school is afflicted with scumbag smith and mediocre mcphee, I don't expect football, men's basketball, or baseball to be anything other than average.
In spite of the portal system, NIL or the other crap college football has become, we should be able to get 5-6 wins from this schedule. If not, we need to drop from FBS and try to win at a lower level.
Any chance the GoMiddle folks are going to do a position breakdown of the roster?
I was looking at our Corners, Safeties, and Linebackers and had a hard time telling who was returning and who was new.
I know folks aren't disposed to giving this program any benefit of the doubt (and why would you, they haven't earned it), but damn there were some injury problems in the secondary and linebacker corps last year that may have made a difference on the field.
I know coaching got a lot of heat, but from my watching last year, it was at least 50% an issue of athleticism. Our guys just looked perpetually behind a lot of the guys they were supposed to cover. It makes the margin for error so small and makes things like a bad angle just look so bad.
Let's hope the Football Gods smile at us for once and we stay healthy this year.

The level doesn't matter. Football, men's basketball, and baseball will continue to be mediocre as long as thugs control the school. When athletics return to WMOT, you'll know they care.
Yes we will be doing previews by position. They are waiting for the transfer cycle to be over before doing it.
When is it done till December?
Question, are there different portals for the different seasonal sports? I guess football is all I ever paid much attention to.
The portal is closed - so guys can't go in.
But guys who are in can move around up until the start of fall camp.
