I soon will be posting the official predictions from the staff. What say you? How will MT finish overall and in CUSA play?
FOOTBALL Let’s make official season predictions for W/L in 2023
- Thread starter Matt Dossett
- Start date
As of now...subject to change based on how we see the OL too, Vatiatto's accuracy, receivers, secondary, etc.
Bama - L
Mizzou - L
Murray - W
CSU - W
WKU - L
JSU - W
LaT - W
LU - L
NMSU - W
FIU - W
UTEP - W
SHSU - L
Early prediction...7-5. I do think we will split JSU/SHSU. I don't know which one. I do feel we have a chance to beat Mizzou, but not sure we will. I also don't think NMSU nor UTEP are 100% gimmies.
If we had either LU or WKU at home, I think we split. But with both away, I don't see us winning. That being said, makes us 5-3 conference. IF we split WKU/LU, we'd be 6-2 and I could see us having a legit shot at making the champ game. But I really feel if we lose both, no go, even with SHSU and JSU not eligible for the champ.
I do predict CUSA will have at least 6 teams, maybe 7, at .500 or better.

6-6. Shocker.
By the way, does anyone know what the bowl affiliation CUSA has these days with all the movement of teams?

No Hawaii this year as CUSA rotates it.
This year is
Bahamas vs MAC
Armed Forces vs AAC - Ft Worth

None of these games will be gimmies. We could go 1-11 as easily as we go 8-4. We better be improved because this is not an easy schedule.
I'm going with 8-4 to New Mex Bowl.

Are you saying WKU will beat us again?
6-6
Bama - L - no chance
Mizzou - L - no chance
Murray - W - should be easy W
CSU - L - CSU will be improved in 2nd year under Norvell.
WKU - L - LOL (1-4 on October 1st)
JSU - W - I'm banking all the newbs as W's (except for Liberty). I'll probably be disappointed.
LaT - W - they were bad last year
LU - L - Small chance, but they're a better program.
NMSU - W - teams from New Mexico can't be good
FIU - W - they were terrible last year
UTEP - L - they should be better
SHSU - W - no idea, should be a W, we have a 23 year head start.
Bama - L - no chance
Mizzou - L - no chance

Personally, I would prefer something like Birmingham, Mobile again, or even Myrtle Beach. Something I can drive to. I've never been on a plane in my life.
School wise though, something like New Orleans as it has a bigger payout. 10000% no Bahamas.
I’m hoping for something in Alabama or at least able to be driven to
Alabama L - Decent 1st half, but wear down and lose 14-42
Mizzou - L - Another loss: 27-44
Murray - W - Mail this win in with our 2d teamers: 52-20
CSU - W - Homecoming, but hard: 30-27. Really the key game to a successful/respectable season.
WKU - L - Behind eight ball in conference play: 16-38.
JSU - W - Hard earned win: 31-24.
LaT - L - Let a game get away that we should win; C-USA championship chance is gone: 19-27
LU - L - Third Loss in conference: 17-37
NMSU - W - Bounceback win: 34-21
FIU - W - Easy win #2 but score doesn't necessarily reflect it: 41-23
UTEP -W Good win with better defense: 23-13
SHSU - W Overpower Bearkats: 33-14
7-5 overall with three conference losses. Bowling!

I mentioned a while back it may be time for a 3 win season. After looking at the schedule I believe we start 1 and 4 and end up our normal 6 / 6 season. If this staff can't find 6 wins on this schedule they should all resign in disgrace.
Go Blue!
Go Blue!
I know Nick V has seen limited action over the last couple years, but does anyone know his record as a starter and against which teams?
He is 3-2 as a starter. Wins over FIU (40), FAU (10) and Toledo (7). Losses to WKU(27) and ODU (7).
