After watching that, I'm anxious to see Bugs Mortimer play. Elite speed. Could be great as a return man and inside receiver. Might be one of the biggest surprises on the team this year.
Seeking some reps from him in practice, he's definitely going to give Sam Vidlak the option to just say "screw it, Bugs is down there somewhere" if things break down. Dude has unreal speed.
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.

Austin Carlisle
If he gets to the edge he is gone!

He's so fast he makes fast people look….not fast…

This actually worries me more than the rest of the UH roster, which I think we matchup relatively decent against and UH's starting QB has not done well against teams with a strong pass rush.
SFA however has historically, even in our best defensive years, been awful against QBs who can run. Idk what it is, but SFA always seems to have trouble with those guys. Obviously when he enters the game it will 90% be a run play so we SHOULD be able to key in on it.
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.

I'm not saying that the Jacks are going to win, but getting beat by 39???
7. More. Days.
They made it sound like the fake injury was the biggest rule change, but it seems like defenders not being able to try to draw a false start will majorly impact every play.
UH is a 22.5 point favorite. Over is 55.5. Looks like the bookies are expecting the scoreboard to really light up.
Wow, imagine if you saw this kind of turn out by students at every home game this season.
Wow. Homer Bryce might get as loud as it used to be!
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

Crazy. Nicholls looks legit on defense.

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.

I'm just throwing this out there, I've said since the end of last season UIW was going to be down this year. They definitely looked it.
They were just riding the coat tails of their own success, as they have won with different coaches, different QB's whoever came in they just won, and now it looks like the well has run dry.
But Nicholls does have a great defense returning from last season, and it will keep them in some games this year, as their offense is still shaky.

I'll be at the Alumni tent. I'll be the guy wearing SFA purple.
To better identify me I'll wear a gray cap with SFASU across the front.The game is not listed on Bovada, for some reason.

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.

Current most likely playoff scenario for SLC:
If both SFA and SLU win out, there's zero chance we both miss the playoffs at 10-2. Both teams make it regardless of who gets the autobid. Lamar possibly could sneak in at 9-3, since they'll likely be ranked pretty high by the time we play them, though their strength of schedule is currently looking worse than ours.
If we win out and Lamar only loses to us but beats SLU, both us and Lamar get in at 10-2. SLU might get in at 9-3.
If we lose to Lamar but beat everyone else convincingly and Lamar defeats SLU, we might get in, SLU will likely be out at 9-3. If we lose to Lamar and SLU defeats Lamar, we will likely be out even at 9-3.
We should just take the guesswork out of it and win out. Make it easy on my heart.
