We’ve seen what this team is and isn’t - what’s your projected win total now?

We have some bright spots and I think the running game and offense will get better as the season goes. Snapping continues to be an issue and killed a red zone drive. Boutte could have had 2 TDs and dropped both. Jayden looked pretty good. The offensive line didn’t do him any favors and I think that made him look to run a little more than he wanted too. He can improve for sure, but he showed he’s capable. We need to take more deep shots earlier in the game.

If our special teams is even bad, we probably win last night. They were atrocious and will cost us at least 1 more game this season.

Defense was a mixed bag. The safeties looked better than they have the last two seasons. I think we’re ok there. Tackling was an issue in game 1 again. The corners were hit and miss. Not as bad as it could have been, but I don’t think we have that 1 stud we’re used to. Dline was solid, but needs to contain a little better. It was said in the scrimmages that the defense had trouble defending the pass in the middle of the field and we saw that last night. Absolutely killed us on 3rd down.

I initially had us going 8-4 with a win over FSU. I think 7-5 is still realistic, but it’ll be tough. We have to clean up the pass defense over the middle or MSU will feast on us. Auburn, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Florida are all winnable. A&M has talent but doesn’t know what to do with it.

We’re back to the year 2000 as a program. It’ll be an up and down season, but the future looks bright.
