I can see a loss against one of the three conference away games but nine has to be the number with 10 if things go our way.
GO OWLS!

Unless the new DC messes it up this will be the best D in FAU history.

Our D will win us 10 games if I was our starting QB.

He was a very good DC at S. Miss and now has even more talent to work with!

The defense should be dominant this year. And from what it sounds like we are still trying to go fast on offense with boy wonder OC.

It is extremely difficult to repeat a season like last year - this is not Alabama or Clemson where they just reload with more 5* recruits and all-americans come back for another season. I think 8 should be doable, 9 would be good, 10 is a pretty big stretch. I hope I am wrong, as we certainly have the talent to be better than last season. But I predict losses to OU, UCF, at least 1 conference loss, and will not be shocked at a second. I think now we are favored in 9 games, but we know that will change from week to week.

IF we beat Oklahoma, I expect us to go undefeated and If we average 40+ points a game. We might be in convo for top 4 finalists if we fix the whole attendance issue.
Back on earth now:
Reading this thread made me realize we have a really tough road schedule. I expect us to lose @OK and a close battle at UCF. The uncertainty at QB position may hurt us IMO. Hypothetically speaking, I wish we were playing BCU and Air Force in weeks 1 & 2 to allow the Offense to gel, so we can have a better shot at Oklahoma in, say, week 4.
Had we known last year that Driskel & Motor were the solution to our offense, we would've finished the season 12-2 and be more competitive vs Wisconsin…
IMO, worst case scenario, we're a 3 loss team. Best case, 1 loss to Oklahoma.

If we do 9-3 plus win out 2 post season games we will be 11-3 again - who would not take that!!!Posted On: Jun 11th 2018, 7:43 PM #378826
I would be happy with an 11-3 again. But 8 not so much because I am not sure that gets us the C-USA title, or even in the game. The Kiffin hype might slow down with that too
