Holy shit, they have no context when it comes to the McNeese State game. They really the Cowboys aren't the worst scholarship team in all of football and the results they like from that game are harbingers of future success against teams with equal or more talent, despite seeing what a borderline Top 30 team did to them at home.
Their OL is in the bottom quartile of the SEC
Their QB has no proven track record other than injury
Their best playmaker on offense is out for the season, leaving a very JAGish RB room.
Their WR/TE are in the bottom quartile of the SEC
Their DL (the best room) on the team is delivering average results. They don't have a Collin Simmons anywhere on their depth chart.
Their LBs are bottom quartile of the SEC.
Their secondary outisde of Anderson are bottom quartile of the SEC.
Somehow they think that leads to a 8-4 or better season.
