At least he had been in their system for more than a year under Rudolph. Their only qb this year with experience is the transfer from Hawaii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing quite a bit on the defensive front. Will have a few guys, but young. Same with DBs... They'll be talented and some will play immediately, but they'll be young.

They'll be talented and some will play immediately, but they'll be young. I admittedly have high hopes for the front 7. They lose a whole lot of starts it’s true, but they have some athletes filling their shoes. I’m also thinking that whatever steps backwards the defense might take, the offense will make up for with a returning a ton of experience in year 2 under jimbo. This team will basically live and breathe on Monds ability to improve on that third down percentage. He bumps that up a little bit and turns a couple of those FGs last season into TDs this year the offense should be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFootball Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I was never one who thought Mond was BAD. I didn't think he was great either... I think he'll be better, but won't be a top 10 QB or anything. We lose a few playmakers on offense too like Trayveon Williams (I know we have some good-looking backs replacing him, but still- he was a great player) and Jace Sternberger (again, I know he has replacements, but man they were good). I just think the schedule is too tough to try and improve on the 9 wins from last year. I see 8-4 with a bowl win as being a pretty solid season given the schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. What Fisher is building is of my concern more than the record year 2 of players he didn't recruit, you know? I like what I see- a) He's developed players far better than our previous coaches- Look at guys like Otaro Alaka and Daylon Mack. Almost non-factors who immediately had stellar years. And first-year guys like Sternberger who came out of nowhere and quickly rise in the ranks. b) He's recruited better talent- I think our best class ever was what? Number 5? He's already beat that and will hopefully have us consistently in the Top 10 (and Top 5 one day). Gotta have talent. c) He's put a better product on the field- Say what you want about last year's record being 8-4... Every game we lost other than Alabama, we were in the game (and should've won a few). Compare that to 2017 where we were down like 21-0 in the first quarter against Miss St, Auburn, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 9 wins needs to be the minimum expectation. I’ll give you the loss at Clemson, but jimbo is going to have to steal one of the 3 from Bama, LSU and Georgia imo. A loss to all 4, albeit understandable given 3/4 are on the road, would not be a successful step forward building off last year to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early in the year and outside of QB, they look pretty solid everywhere else. Seems like Gus always follows up a pedestrian year with 10 wins or so.

But after last years meltdown in the 4th to lose, I’m sure A&M is too. I think at home, they handle business this time. I also think they are just overall better than auburn. But auburn will pose a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losses are clemson and Georgia. Big win against Bama at home this year for the upset. I don’t think that’s a super crazy prediction. If we lose one, I think it will be that road game at A&M.

Maybe it’s more of an all time thing, but then under notable players nobody list any players over about 20 years old really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But somebody is going to double that pay next season without even blinking an eye and get a very good up and comer. If we have another good year, I think he's gone. 4 years and hopefully 4 straight bowl games. I will be sad when he's gone, but he has definitely made UNT a more desirable job.

Like breakdown LSU for example... RBs, OL, WRs, DL, DBs... this also shows that LSU has been weakest at the QB position for a while now. Besides Matt Flynn and Rohan Davey and 1 year of Mettenberger, LSU has been terrible at QB and has had all of their success through their strengths... OU, Ohio St, and Alabama are also schools that are consistently mentioned in this article... Further showing how long these schools have been relevant, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The ESPN list is very strange. I’m not real big on conspiracies but surely this list is just thrown together to get clicks and outrage. They said they went back to 98 but on the DBU list they leave off 2 Thorpe award winners for Texas. One of those guys also played in and won 2 Super Bowls. There is no way they tried to get these lists 100% correct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Georgia RBs don’t make the list with Todd Gurley, Sonny Michel, Nick Chubb, Knowshon Moreno, Musa Smith but Arkansas makes it? What about NC State’s QBs? Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson, Ryan Finley, Mike Glennon, Jacoby Brissett. That’s a pretty darn solid group of QBs. @MavGrad99 pick two of them and put’em on LSU, how many Nattys y’all win? It’s a very curious list to say the least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
