I'm not convinced you beat NAU either, so I have 3 wins. I'm not sure where you are getting your 7
Well i can say i dont know where your getting your idea of a 3 win season from as we have been improving every year and arent that bad of a team. There are some important facts you are missing or failing to take into account:
@ Wyoming -
L: A decent D1 opponent we get to break in our new QB in this game and see what he can do as well as some new faces on offense and Defense
San Diego -
W: Pioneer conference team who we beat last year and this year we get them at home. Have to say we will be fine against SD.
@San Jose State -
L: Could very well be a loss here but i think we have a good shot of upsetting the Spartans since plainly they have been horrible the past couple of seasons and i dont see that changing anytime soon. count it as a loss but i give us a chance to make it a possible upset win.
@ Texas State -
W: We have beaten the Bobcats the past 3 times we have played them in 2006, 2008 and last year in Cedar City we ran away with the game. Last time we played the Cats in there house we were up 34-7 before putting in our second line and they got 13 points in the 4th. This is a series we have dominated and i know we can continue it this year.
Northern Arizona -
W: The past few years we have played the lumberjacks we are always just one play or have just come up short vs these guys and i think because we get them at home this year we have the advantage. Believe it will be another shootout with two QB's but i think we will finally get the upper hand in this one...i hope
@ North Dakota * -
W: Last year we beat the Sioux very handily in Cedar City but i can see a close game when we travel up to play them. However i think we will continue to own the series against the Sioux since they became a GWC member.
Cal Poly * -
W: There will be alot of factors that will/could come into play in this one. Last year a missed extra point cost us the game which was a very good one. However we play the Mustangs at home AND we will be the 5th road game in a row they play. That will make it very hard for the Mustangs to win, especially if they have injury issues like they did last year.
South Dakota * -
W: The Coyotes have had our number the past few seasons but now that Shepard is gone i think that will give us a chance (D could not stop that guy!). We get the Yotes at home and i think that will be enough to get a W.
@ UC Davis * -
W: We beat the Aggies last year in a decent game in Cedar City thanks to a combination of great plays on offense, defense and special teams. This was easily the best total team effort we had all year and i think we can beat the Aggies again in their house, however it will be very tough.
Dixie State -
W: Neighbor D2 opponent, time to give our starters a break after getting ahead and let our second line get some well needed experience.
@ Eastern Washington -
L: What can i say? We get to go travel up to "The Pad" and get to play against a team with one of the best RB's in the sky and what appears to be a great QB. I think we will keep it closer then we did last year however i dont think it will be enough.
Overall Record: 7-3
Looking over this i really do not think that this is all to far fetched. Will it be tough to do? Absolutely especially if the GWC slate is anything like it was last year. However compared to a 3-7 season i feel that this is a much more realistic outcome just based on the fact its quite obvious people are missing the fact that we are improving year after year. Not at all trying to start S%#@t or anything like that just pointing out some of the key facts that may have been overlooked.
