September slate

[StevoBevo]

According to Fbschedules.com our first 4 games will be
1. Vs Bethune-Cookman
2. Vs Southern Miss
3. @ Texas A&M
4. Vs Middle Tennessee ST

Looking like 3-1 heading into conference play (4-0 is obtainable considering A&M was only 8-4 this year) and a real chance to work out any kinks/get a lot of players playing time.
I have a feeling it won’t take long to notice improvements on the team…

On one hand, if we get better tackling and cut down on penalties, we could win 2-3 extra games.

On the other hand, it's going to take some time for the team to gel while learning new systems. Hopefully the overall amount of sloppiness can be reduced and the QB play will get us over the hump.

I know people hate scheduling cupcakes, but with a new coach and what looks like a switch to a 3-4 defense - I like that we have 2 games to prepare before A&M.

3-1? Did Jimbo clone Jameis Winston or something? We might lose to Clemson but we ain’t losing to A & M

 

[407cane]

man I don't want to lose to Jimbo again, my sould can't take it

Exactly. I do like us playing Southern Miss before A&M too. Slightly better measuring stick than Bethune lol

A&M is a better team than us until we prove otherwise

Bama slaughtered us talent wise and skill wise this year, A&M beat them

we CAN win but to assume we're going into college station and it being an easy win is irrational

 

[nobeastofburden]

Going to be tough without our DC or LB coach. Oh wait, no it won't, addition by subtraction.

I sure hope Ewers does not go to A&M...

 

[canes_aaron]

winning @ A&M will be dependent on how TVD plays. hopefully we have a OC that makes the new system simple

 

[TheRichtShow]

A&M will be one of the most talented teams in the country next year, and that's a tough place to play.

Beating them would be an Oregon over Ohio St type of win

You do know the A&M beat Bama this year and Bama destroyed us right?

 

[Zbrod95]

You do know the A&M beat Bama this year and Bama destroyed us right?

And? They lost to Ole Miss who was blown out by Bama, Mississippi St, LSU, and they only beat Colorado by 3.

Under manny southern miss would be a nail biter bc that’s what they do to teams

 

[caneworld]

I think if TVD shows up with fire, we can beat A&M early in the season ...

 

[htownkidd]

A&M is losing a ton of guys, especially on defense.

With Manure, we were getting blown out of College Station but with a new competent regime, they are more than beatable.

And you are right, playing them game 3 gives us a chance to get in somewhat of a groove.

 

[Brains]

Let's wait to see how the portal, staff hires, and HS signings shake out.

 

[Gru]

Does A&M lose both running backs?

 

[CanesZ06]

I would really like a win over Cuckbo. Have we ever beaten him?

More so on how the defense plays. We were Swiss cheese especially in the redzone
