If we could somehow head into the ball state game 2-0 then I can't imagine less than 22K.

I don't mind Brady Brown being productive, but I hope and think this is the year we stop relying on production from walk ons at wide receiver.

Don't confuse lack of trust with lack of support. We all support him, but our trust in his ability took a huge hit after watching him play last year. Also, saying he didn't have a decent o-line last year is ridiculous. That makes it sound like you're using our o-line giving him no time to throw as an excuse. They gave him all day to throw last year and that's a major reason why their is doubt in his ability.

We should pass for 3,000 this year with these guys. Smith and Chancellor just get open. Throw in Harris, the new guys (Kidsy & Terrell) and Jimmerson, our threat out of the backfield and it should be a fun year throwing the ball.

He will be our biggest defensive lineman after Abbe graduates. He's a huge part of this class, no pun intended.

I'm going with the Jimmy show. Can't wait to watch Antoinne Jimmerson take over some games this year.

I know one is a kicker, but we now have one more three-star recruit committed to us, according to ESPN, than we had all of last year.

Good! Solid pickup. 22nd ranked kicker in the country according to ESPN recruiting.

This offense is way too good to be 105th in the nation in scoring. This is the best o-line we've had since Mac got here, the best receiving corp since he's been here, and the deepest backfield since he's been here. That's just my opinion. You could make a case that it'll be tough to be better than last year's o-line, but since Mac has been here he has been building this team around our three junior lineman Johnson, Y'Barbo, and Lemon. Also, no more receiver excuses. If DT isn't producing we have to give someone else a chance.

Honestly, why any of those guys were three stars was beyond me. Lancaster has the height and speed, but he greatly needs to get better as a receiver. Feldt looked good but you could tell he was playing bad competition and he was undersized for D1 although he dwarfed his opponents. Of course some of those guys from that class will end up starting at some point, but that class may go down as the "depth class." I see a lot of those guys being able to provide depth so that we are able to redshirt future incoming freshman. Doesn't look like a flashy class, but as long as those guys stay on campus and continue to improve they will be a big part of our turnaround.

I'm really excited to see what our Houston area players from our current class do as true freshman (Darvin Kidsy and Chad Davis). Also, because Connor Means is an early enrollee you don't have to wait until national signing day to see if we keep him. Because he is an early enrollee he will enroll in December and start classes at UNT in January. Also, if we can make a bowl game, Means would be able to participate in our bowl game practices.

He's got the size, athleticism, and arm. In his second year as a starter he will be much better at reading defenses and the game will be much slower for him.

Don't underestimate the jump qbs make from Junior to Senior year. Especially if this was Means first year as a starter. Does anyone know if it was?

Decent district too. Port Arthur Memorial and Galena Park North Shore are good teams.

That was the year OU just straight took everyone to the woodshed. They beat Texas 65-13 in the Red River bloodbath. Then they lost to K-State in the conference championship game and LSU in the sugar bowl. Everyone though they were one of the best teams of all time until those last two games. Pretty respectable score holding that offense with the Heisman Trophy winner to 37 points.

More anecdotal proof of why interceptions are ok as long as the qb makes plays. Like you mentioned, long interceptions are not that much worse than a turnover on downs and a subsequent punt.

It is a good insurance policy. Unfortunately it's hard for that second qb to jump on board knowing you already have a qb committed. Giving a guy like Caleb Chumley a chance to play qb at first might be a good idea. Then if he can't beat out Connor Means then you can move him.

He just isn't consistent or accurate enough for me to call him a good qb, personally. Hope he proves me wrong this year. He was a combined 35-80 at home this year against Texas Southern, Troy, and South Alabama. That's a little under 44% completion percentage. Those type of performances against subpar defenses come far too often. He's been good enough for us to win 7 out of 11 home games at Apogee. We need to win 4, possibly 5 of our home games this year if we hope to qualify for a bowl. We can't afford performances like the ones DT had at home last year if we hope to win a majority of our home games this year.

That's Devante Davis. Not sure about Kelly, but he was somewhat buried on the depth chart and a guy coming in like Chad Davis didn't help his position on the depth chart.

Yeah, Means is a big time pull. I know Tight End isn't a dire need, but I hope we continue to recruit Chumley. His size and athleticism would make him a weapon in the passing game.

1 running back is definitely a possibility, but a lot of that will depend on how confident the coaches feel about our redshirt freshman Lewis, Rollins, and Evans after this year is over. Three running backs in the same grade potentially sets up a situation in which one may transfer. You never like to see that, but that's a reason why I see us taking two backs. More as an insurance policy. As for tight end, I wonder if we are still actively recruiting Caleb Chumley. He may be a case of a kid who wants to play quarterback in college and we probably won't be the one to give him that chance after the Means commitment.

We're going after some prospects with legitimate D1 interest. If we can have a breakthrough year on the field expect an impressive signing class.

My thoughts exactly. You never know. Could battle for a starting spot next spring. Hopefully not, but him having a spring to get some experience under his belt is only a good thing. Also, with an extra semester as well as a likely redshirt, Means could have up to 11 semesters paid for, plus summer classes. Kid could have a doctorate by the time he leaves.

Saw this on twitter. He's ours
