Non Conference Game breakdowns

Aug 28th. vs Missouri State. I expect a similar game to last year. As far as I know they have the same coaching staff and played a very conservative style on defense and a mixed bag of run and short passes on offense. They have size and some very talented players on both sides. Ended the year playing very well so I think they show up and the game will go down to the wire once again. I give us a slight edge because of it being at our place and we tend to have a good crowd for the home opener. Can't wait for the white out. W 30-27

Sept. 6 @  Baylor. Lets be realistic and say the goal of this game is to remain healthy. Any mid major FBS or FCS team going to Waco and even some big 12 teams get 60-70 hung on them so I expect them to do the same to us. L 66-7

Sept 13 @ Southern. As evident from last year, clearly we are the better team. Should easily win this game. W 45-13

Sept 20 @ Louisiana Tech. dogs are way down from the Sonny Dykes era, Lamar played them tough last year and we beat Lamar, so I think this will be our best shot to beat a FBS team in a while. Their stadium may finally see a decent crowd with the renewal of this rivalry. Given the fact that we have not shown up against FBS teams in a while I will give the slight edge to tech. L 31-38.

Entering the season 2-2 and not playing a division 2 team, I really think a 8-4 record could get us an at-large bid to the playoffs.

Cajun, I think your assessment is very well thought out. I sure hope for Demon victory at Tech. It would so good for the team and for the school!!!

And because Tech people are, for the most part, just a bunch a pricks...I have yet to meet one that's not smug.

I would have to see us really show up and compete with a FBS team before I think we can win that game.
