There is definitely some reason for optimism, but will it translate to on-field success?
“The Cowboys are 17.5-point underdogs at home to Oregon in week two”.
I imagine this would’ve been 20-25 points higher with the same roster and coaching staff from last season.
I want to see two things in the non-conference part of the schedule
-
Go 2-1 and give Oregon a game
-
Go to Skelly Field in Tulsa, and put some belt to arse on the Golden Hurricanes after what their HC said this off season. Report: Tulsa Coach Tre Lamb Tells Tulsa Crowd ‘We’ll Beat Their A– Again’ in Reference to OSU
I agree that Tulsa needs to be disciplined severely for Coach Lamb running his mouth like that when our program was in disarray. I’m just not sure Morris will reveal much if the game is in hand early because he doesn’t want Oregon to know what’s coming. Coach Lanning needs a good humbling, too, but I’m not sure we will be good enough this year to teach him a lesson. jarrod is right; we need a good showing at Tulsa and then anything can happen at home (turnovers are always key) with our elite set of triplets at QB, WR and RB.
Honestly I’m more fired up for the Tulsa game than any other game this year. I want us to humble Tre Lamb badly.
I’m not. It’s a game that should be expected to win every time we play them. In fact, every G6 team we play we should expect to win. We didn’t start doubting until Gundy decided to start losing to them.
I am predicting a massacre of Tulsa if we are as good as advertised.
