Four games to go - How do we finish?

[El Paso Eagle]

My guess is 2-2 down the stretch. Win both road and lose both home 

1. Sat, Nov 6 @ Southern Miss W
2. Sat, Nov 13 vs UTEP L
3. Sat, Nov 20 @ Florida International W
4. Sat, Nov 27 vs UTSA L

Finish at 4-8. Does this keep Seth here one more year?

I’d love to see them win at home at least once more.  Homecoming would be nice, but that UTSA game would be especially sweet!  

[StealthEagle84]

We finish the season 5-7. We beat two bad teams in USM and FIU and pull a victory on homecoming against an overrated UTEP. This team hasn’t quit playing hard. We’re just both young and dealing with lots of injuries but there is a lot of fight in this team, which I appreciate. Another unpopular opinion, but it’s my belief Littrell will be back next season due to the points I just made. But next year will be make or break for him. I feel like we finish strong enough and his previous success buys him one more year.

I'm not sure three 4-win seasons in a row in today's coaching climate would keep anyone anywhere for another year. Yet, at UNT, it's never easy to tell. 

[SigmaGreen]

I think we also best USM and FIU, what’s going to be interesting is the UAB vs UTSA game the week before ours against the Runners, bc that game potentially decides who wins the division.

[Jonnyeagle]

We will win the next 4 and defeat nUTSAck.  We will go to a bowl against a G5 team and Seth will lose badly.  Seth will come back next year as the AD need his buyout money to finish the AD center expansion.

[RBP79]

Seth maybe here next season but the only reason I can see that happening is the money required to pay him off...

They need to keep Seth one more year to help pay for the athletic center expansion.

[Monkeypox]

1-3... for that consistency.

And so you can keep trolling.

Sounds like a good guess.

No.  Five wins minimum, and I don't think that's enough.  He probably needs to win out, and have at least a competitive showing in a bowl game.

[Coach_1976]

I’ll say 3-1. USM and FIU are just bad. UTEP I see little overrated and hopefully having them at home will lead to a team not only playing hard but for God sake disciplined. The UTSA game rivalry game. I’ve seen stranger. But that puts us at 4-1 over back half of season. 5-7 overall but the shine will be on the turd because of the finish.. 

[MeanGreen_MBA]

You realize that Rice beat UAB last week…so Rife is not all that bad. 
 

Also, didn’t UTSA beat UNT a few years back to knock us out of the conference run the last game of the season, and it was either their only win, or 1 of just a few. 
 

there are thing to still look forward to.

Here's my dream scenario.  The team wins the next three, but Wren still isn't convinced that Seth should stay.   The team, now seeing the possibility that this ship could turn around under a new leader, gets fired up and beats a UTSA team that comes into town undefeated.   

And our fans storm the field, kicking over the KFC buckets on the roadrunner sideline and sending them back to the locker room hungry and sad.

UTEP should be an interesting game. The have a solid defense (statically top in CUSA but hard to judge based on the schedule they played). On offense they have pretty good receivers, especially Cowing. I worry if our DB's stay banged up they could move the ball. 

[Got5onIt]

0-4. 
Seth has the entire team play the last game in all black uniforms with no markings or decals, etc.

Annoying ass fan base…

No, that was definitely not an oversight on my part

2-2, beat SM & FIU, lose to UTEP and get blown out by UTSA. SL immediately fired after the game.

[MeanGreen4Life1998]

1-3. With how this team has played id imagine we somehow find a way to lose to Southern Miss, lose to UTEP, beat FIU and then get slaughtered by UTSA. Hope im wrong but i have little hope

[untjim1995]

I’m telling you, we are 50/50 at best at firing SL if he gets two more wins. That’s a lot of $$$ for that buyout as we also have other major expenses coming up.

If SL comes back, though, after 4-8 again, the fans will know for certain that 2022 is gonna be a throw away year. It’ll look just like Todd Dodge’s last year and Tony Benford’s last season. And we will lose our ass on attendance.

As much as that would suck if we move to the AAC in 2024 we probably survive. If we move to the AAC in 2023 and try this it'll take us several years to recover.

Team is starting to show something.  We still have glaring issues and the injury bug has hit us this year, but I’m a helpless optimists so I’m going with 3-1 to finish the season.
