Right now I think we will win 7 games.
All of our OOC plus UK, Ark, and UM. Saying that, 6 wins is the floor and I think the ceiling is probably 9 at best.
Probable loses are Bama, LSU, Auburn, and A&M.
I think at UT is a toss up that could get us to 8 wins.
3-9
We Beat Southern Miss, K State, and Abaline Christian and lose the rest.
Win the first 3, lose the next 5. Better beat Arkansas and OM if we want a bowl.
CoolQuote:

Moorhead just had the best season he’ll ever have here. 5, maybe 6 wins.
Just curious, so if we win 5 games then it is a success?Quote:

Toss up @Arky, K-State
Likely wins Lafayette, USM, Kentucky, Ole Miss
Gimme Abilene Christian
5-7 or 6-6
Lol at the people thinking Arkansas and Kansas State are anything less than very likely wins.
Also Kentucky and Tennessee are better than 50-50 for us.
Not if we don't have a qb readyQuote:

I think we go 6-6. Drop one of the games against Kentucky, Kansas State, or Ark.
8-4
If Mullen were coaching we'd win 10 again****
6-6 would be grounds for firing him IMO. Unless its a tough 6-6 like the 2013 team.Quote:

I think 7-5 next year should be viewed as a success. We are still going to have poor receiver talent and the O-Line will be a project. D needs to maintain and drop off while expected cannot be to sub 50 level
8-4 if KT is Qb.
4-8 if it?s GS.
6-6.
You just predicted 7-5 and then said you think we go 6-6. I think 6-6 is our absolute floor and we will end up going 7-5 or 8-4. You do realize that OM and Ark are awful and UK is losing everyone of consequence. Then you are just talking about beating an average Tennessee team to win 8 games. This doom and gloom of shit is way overreacting especially considering the schedule is much much easier next year.Quote:

Auburn is a shit show right now with less known about their QB next season than we know. Their OL is not great and Gus is still there. Kentucky is losing a ton and comes to Starkville. We own A&M no matter who they have or who we have. I have no idea what Tennessee will be like. That may be my only road trip.
He's not getting fired for 6 wins. Not happening.Quote:

This idea that State can't have a 6 win season is BS. We're not that damn good yet. Mullen had a 6 win season a couple years ago and we're still playing with his talent. I don't see a way QB and WR play can be worse than this year, so 6-8 wins. AU and TN games determine how the year ends up. Upset shot at LSU for a huge year.
Aug 31 - ULL @ Superdome - WIN
Sept 7 - USM - WIN
Sept 14 - Kansas St - WIN
Sept 21 - Kentucky - WIN
Sept 28 - @ Auburn - TOSS UP
Oct 5 - OPEN
Oct 12 - @ Tennessee - TOSS UP
Oct 19 - LSU - LOSS (But chance for a big win)
Oct 26 - @ aTm - LOSS (But close game on the road)
Nov 2 - @ Arky - WIN
Nov 9 - OPEN
Nov 16 - Bama - LOSS
Nov 23 - Abilene Christian - WIN
Nov 28 - OM - WIN
Agree completely especially on qb and wr play.Quote:

Mullen lucked into getting 6 wins in 2016. He got 5 wins and then we luckily got a bowl due to APR to keep the streak alive.Quote:

7-5 with an outside chance of 8-4. 6-6 should put Joe on the hotseat and 5-7 or a loss to OM should get him fired.
Our defense will drop off but should still be pretty good. It will come down to the offense again. If we still look lost and confused on offense, then it's all on Joe because these players have had 2 years to learn his "system" and if they still can't get it, then there's a problem with the system.
So who are the 5 teams we can't beat?Quote:

C'mon, man....don't you know that we're not gonna win a game next year. We're gonna be so bad that Abilene Christian will skull 17 us to the tune of 79-0 if they're being merciful. 99-0 if they ain't.***Quote:

For real. TN is a dumpster fire. Nothing is a sure thing I get it but TN has Vandy type talent. I know that it?s at UTK but I?d put that as a W for us today. Also UK loses a ton I got that as a W. So my prediction is 4 OOC wins, wins against UT, UK, AR and OM. 8 wins right now.Quote:
