Their team is going to be in turmoil this off-season. They are going to struggle early and lose faith. A loss week 2 in the Superdome to Tulane will set them on a downward spiral. A motivated GT team will rally and knock them off week 3. Thus begins the descent. Skull drug at Bama 1-3. LSU punking them 1-4. Arkansas owning them per usual 1-5. A bye to gather their thoughts then losing at Auburn to drop to 1-6. Vandy continues its upward ascent and puts OM officially at rock bottom at 1-7. A&M and Georgia piles on to drum it to 1-9. ULM gives them a dead cat bounce to 2-9. We beat the snot out of them to make it a cool 10 losses.

Now obviously this is exaggeration. But this really smells like 2019 State's schedule for them. A struggle early versus a louisiana team in the superdome. A close non con loss at home to an upstart P5 coach. Early losses to the SEC west top teams. Probably steal the East permanent opponent win at home. Find another win somehow against one of the cratering teams in the West, (maybe A&M or Auburn if their coach hire sucks) and then playing for bowl eligibility in Starkville Thanksgiving night.

Dan Mullen in 2009 said it best, one of these schools is on the upward trajectory.
