Besides, didn't ULL go 4-8 last year. Everything I hear is predicting a 6-6 year for them, and that could easily go 5-7
There are a lot of question marks at ULL this year. The QB, Oline and Dline situations there were pretty atrocious last year. Jennings is actually a big step up and will help with the issue they had last year. That was having the previous sunbelt player of the year (RB Elijah McGuire) as your only offensive weapon of note. Teams loaded the box to stop him (sound familiar). McGuire is good but he's no Fournette, or Guice, or even Darrel Williams for that matter.

we all know those folks are predicting a W against McNeese
I don't think reasonable people are. It could happen but just as easily could go the other way, I think both teams have more unknowns than anyone likes at this point.
We'll learn a lot about ULL by how they in the Boise State loss, er, game.

Well the media isn't reasonable in Laffy then.
I don't understand the hoopla over Jennings. Dave Schultz keeps talking about this guy like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. "ULL has an SEC Quarterback" is what he keeps saying. No, ULL has a Sunbelt QB. If he were an SEC QB, he'd be playing in the SEC. There is a reason he is not.
Nothing against Jennings, and I hope he does do well because he seems like a good kid that has his act together. But man, the dillusion surrounding him is unreal. It's not like he was a gunslinger at LSU; his numbers were pedestrian at best.
Now, our QBs are largely unproven as well, so it will be interesting to see what they can do. But, just like ULL, they have a hell of a supporting cast around them. Even if some "sports radio hosts" think none of them could play FBS football.

That's like comparing Jerome Bettis to Darren Sproles.
