Before some of the coaching changes when the opponents and locations were reveled a few months ago, it was the chatter it might be harder. Everyone expected LSU and Florida to be much better and we know how that turned out. Now we face those two with new coaches along with Ole Miss and Arky. Tennessee is going to be on the clock next fall as far as their coaching situation. Mizzou and MSU… Who knows? We really don’t have conference game that would be an even swap for UGA. LSU might have been this game if they had lived up to expectations this season, but we will have plenty of time to see if Lane can flip the switch in Baton Rouge. I am not so sure, but playing in that environment enough is comparable to UGA, so hopefully they do end up underperforming as the season progresses.
Our non conference schedule is better than this years. Texas State and UTSA will be better matchups than San Jose, Sam Houston, and UTEP.
Upside we play Ohio State after shaking some of the rust off against Texas State which we didn’t have the benefit of this season.
Hopefully the first three home games are night games too.
