I hope SELA fans travel so they can see what bathrooms with doors in a stadium look like.

I predict we go undefeated next year. Did we find some linemen? Linemen seemed to do fine in the spring when Zion was the quarterback. Defense played better in the spring too. We still had a ton of penalties though.

ULM had the least penalty yards and least penalties in FBS. That offsides and false start crap is about to end. I'm hoping that was part of the hiring process.

2023 will be better.
Much Better!
Right now, we are a Tweener (Inbetweener)!
1/2 FSC and 1/2 FBS.

I'm thinking we are having less home games due to construction... and the game times are early so we don't have to turn the lights on. This is probably the answer. I'm sure by that point, the lights on the visitors' side won't even be there....

I hope SELA fans travel so they can see what bathrooms with doors in a stadium look like. I just hope we don't embarrass ourselves this time we play them. I am cautious optimistic. Coach Rod’s first year or two has historically not been great as his teams took time to develop due to recruiting for his offense. While we were chuck and duck offensively over the past few years, the players should fit his system. He isn’t taking over a team full of players recruited to run the power I with 3 yards and a cloud of dust. I don’t think we will step backwards in terms of our record but It wouldn’t surprise me if we lost a few. That said, I seriously doubt we lose to SELA like we did last time. The previous regime had a propensity for finding new and innovative ways to lay an egg in week 0/1 games and that was what SELA was last time we played them. By October 22 we should have found our footing.

Details. I don't think the last staff was awful. Just scatterbrained. Didn't care about details. Penalties, no problem. Late for practice, no problem.
I am hoping we tighten this up. I think if we handle details, we wouldn't have been slipping last few years. I hope I am right.
Agree about type of athlete on roster. This will be a building block year.

Said it all along, the devil is in the details. We haven't had that and it had become more evident each season.

Coach Rod’s first year or two has historically not been great as his teams took time to develop due to recruiting for his offense. While we were chuck and duck offensively over the past few years, the players should fit his system. He isn’t taking over a team full of players recruited to run the power I with 3 yards and a cloud of dust. This. A thousand times this. Coach Rod's first-year struggles (at the FBS level) only came at WVU and Michigan, where, as you mentioned, he inherited traditional Power I teams. At WVU, he inherited Don Nehlen's final team, which finished 7-5 and defeated Ole Miss in the Music City Bowl. Coach Rod's first team finished with a terrible 3-8 record. At Michigan, he inherited the Lloyd Carr team that had lost to App State (but still won 9 games) and couldn't get anything to go right in a 3-9 season. At Arizona, he took an abysmal 4-8 team and flipped their record to 8-5 in Year One. What was the difference? Arizona had been running a variant of the air raid. CRR didn't call as many pass plays as his predecessor, but when he did throw it, he had fast receivers capable of getting separation and a QB capable of getting them the ball. Arizona's previous rushing offense relied heavily on reads, which meant his QB and RBs were used to making those kinds of reads and quick decisions. And both the Air Raid and the Hot Rod are up-tempo, no-huddle offenses. Bottom Line: While it was still very different, it was a much easier adjustment than coming from the I. The team Coach Rod is inheriting at JSU is made up of gifted athletes who were recruited to run the RPO -- a not-so-distant cousin of the CRR's Hot Rod. Our struggles will come with the "culture" surrounding the program more than in learning the new offense. Our players need to be in better overall shape. Our players need to play and train with more discipline. And both our players and our coaches need to be better prepared and more focused during games. It's not a huge laundry list. The right coach can come in and instill a winning culture within weeks. We have a tough schedule this fall... arguably our toughest in history. Lots of playoff teams. Lots of teams who've had our number. Our FBS opponent may be G5, but they're no slouch. Grass's recent teams would've struggled mightily with this schedule. CRR may struggle as well. But I think the team will turn the corner quickly. 8-3 is realistic. 11-0 may be asking a lot, but I think it's possible. Anything 6-5 or better is an improvement, and I'll take it.

Indeed we may struggle and that's okay. As long as these things are being addressed - "Our struggles will come with the "culture" surrounding the program more than in learning the new offense. Our players need to be in better overall shape. Our players need to play and train with more discipline. And both our players and our coaches need to be better prepared and more focused during games". My gut tells me if HCRR does anything, it'll be addressing those issues.

If we go 0-11 but get half the penalties and I can't name the plays from the 50th row, it's a win in my heart.
