We start with UTC on Thursday August 31st. At Tarleton State. At UT Martin 11/18/22 at Florida State.
Those are 4 tough games. Exciting games. A lot of portal/recruiting needs to happen before those games….a lot.
Curious to how the new coach(es) approach the current roster? Offense has some experienced talent coming back.

Didn’t show it when I looked at 2023 schedule online….but that doesn’t mean we haven’t moved the UTC game.

Pretty surprised about being in the Kickoff Classic. I would assume they’d want both a better team, and one that travels well. Will we send enough people to Montgomery to make it look good for TV? Hopefully there will be some excitement with the new coach, whoever he is.
Is that game on national ESPN? If so… that’s huge.

Usually that is the first college football game of the season for any team.

FWIW, Mercer finished 7-4, 5-3 in the SoCon. So not a bad team. Don’t know what they return, but I assume we won’t be favored to win that one. But a lot can change between now and then.

Keeping some key parts on offense and with an upgrade in couple of spots there would give us hope. I would like get a back over 205Ibs that can power ahead, not that Powell doesn’t play bigger than his size his does. I want him to make it another season without being wore down. Also need a third receiver that’s dependable. Defense only needs around 8-9 players to come in and start. We got to find someone that punted and punted well in high school. If the new coach can come in and change the culture during the spring….along with new roster additions we could be tough next year. Typing that after 1-10 season seems crazy and ignorant on my part, but we lost 4 games we should have won. We only got destroyed in 2 games.

I'm thinking 2023 could be the program's only year to shoot for the FCS playoffs. If the deal with the WAC happens, I could see all of the FCS teams being in transition starting in 2024.
This opening slate of games is gonna be tough, though.

I've only seen it talked about on here. It would make sense though, with us needing another game. Mercer doesn't have a '23 schedule posted yet, so that doesn't help.
