There's a story in today's Houston Chronicle about UH's projected 3rd string QB, Austin Carlisle. What's so special about him? He's a speedster. A heck of a speedster. He's been clocked at 23.7 MPH, which is faster than any NFL ball carrier did last year. EA Sports has given him the fastest speed rating of all QB's at the FBS level in the country.
UH Coach Wille Fritz said he plans to use the true freshman in special packages this season.
SFA's coaches are probably way ahead of me in knowing about this young man, but Coach Cartel and the Jacks defense had better have eyes on him when he's on the field against us in a few days.

Joseph Duarte, who covers the Houston Cougars for the Houston Chronicle, has predicted that UH will beat our Jacks by a score of 45-6. I almost threw up my oatmeal when I read that this morning.
"The Cougars get what should be a pressure-free environment to unveil their new new-look offense. It doesn't hurt that UH is 20-0 all-time against FCS opponents."
If this prediction was coming out of Las Vegas I'd bet the farm against it. Ain't gonna happen, amigo. You don't have a clue about SFA's team.

Remind me again... Who did the prognosticators pick to waltz through the SLC this year, courtesy of their 6 or 7 Preseason FCS All-Americans? Oh, yes... UIW.
Nicholls 20, UIW 6

UH is a 22.5 point favorite. Over is 55.5. Looks like the bookies are expecting the scoreboard to really light up.

I'm trying to find a place to bet.
Planning on being at the SFA tent around 4:45 / 5:00. Hope to see you there.

Initial reaction....10-2. I could see us going perfect, but I know that is ambitious... 8-4 would be a failure in my opinion. I'll come back to this in a few days with more collected thoughts.
After further evaluation, I do think my 10-2 pick could be too ambitious. Also 8-4 would not be a failure either, but I do believe it's underperforming.
SawmillGuy is 100% right, this may be our best opportunity to beat a FBS squad, let alone a P4 school. Looking at the backend of the schedule, our last 5-6 games are for sure winnable, and I think we'll be favored to do so. Arguably, our biggest challenges, ACU & UIW, will both have new starting QBs, so why not believe those are Ws? I think we get the bad taste out our mouths from the bad McNeese & ETA&M Ls. My last stipulation is with a healthy Sam....maybe 10-2 is in the picture? Overall to say, my expectations are high and I totally believe the Jacks should be a playoff team in 2025.

Coming back to this post. 10-2 is still on the table & we still have all of our goals in front of us. Despite the disappointing 0-2 start, I'm proud of the players & staff for getting this going. Keep rolling Jacks!!!

Ya. Everything is still in play. The loss to UH was expected. The ACU loss is the pain point. Win 7/8 and I think we are in good shape. SELA could win out. Doubt it though.
