Mercer game was confirmed 3 weeks ago unless something changed. That schedule is brutal. Easily 6-7 teams that could be playoff caliber next year if not more.

Looks like the 2023 schedule is set... I really don't like the off week before Florida State game. Also, don't care for playing a FBS that late in the season... Especially if somehow this team is in playoff contention: fbschedules.com/2023-north-alabama-football-schedule/ Currently it shows the Mercer game to be at Mercer on a Saturday... |

That Mercer game is "Week 0" I believe. I thought those games were typically neutral site? Maybe this is somehow an exception, or maybe I'm wrong in thinking that. Otherwise, this schedule is certainly the type of schedule I wanted when we joined FCS. Lots of regional games. The WAC teams are "meh", but we all know why they're on there. Now, can we WIN any of these games? |

I may be a homer but I’m excited about the 2023 season. I really like the new coaching staff and the players we have brought in. This is the year the excitement comes back to Florence and we start becoming the old Lions. We may have only won 1 game last year but we were close to winning 5 or 6 games, the difference was coaching!!
I’m going 7-4 or 8-3

I have no idea how to predict what will happen and neither do those first few teams on the schedule. That's an advantage for a re-tooled UNA squad and the new staff.
If they beat either Mercer or Chattanooga, it could be a very interesting year. If not, we shall see how they can pull it together for that third-game conference matchup!
It's a tough way to open the season, for sure. Dearmon's enthusiasm has me thinking they could possibly right the ship quickly.

I think I'll play it down the middle of most of y'all, and go with something like 5-6 or 6-5. But I feel even 6-5 would be a big achievement.
I really think our defense will be improved, simply due to all the guys we have brought in. Plus, there's nowhere to go but up. I worry about the offense without Powell. I think Walters was able to have the success he had as a green freshman because of teams having to respect our running game. Seems the new staff has added very little offensive talent so far, so that concerns me. I'm not sure Driggers or Demarcus Lacey can come close to replacing the production we had at RB (and Lacey's best position is more of a slot WR or a "slash" guy, anyway). Hopefully Dearmon is a great playcaller and can scheme around some of our weaknesses. Or, there's still the possibility of landing an impact player or two in the second transfer portal window after the spring.
Speaking of spring, spring practice should be really interesting.

Lot of unknowns this go around. Like what I'm seeing so I'm feeling real optimistic about this team. Think I'll hold onto my cards until after the spring game. Want to see this team on the grass/turf before fearless prognostication.

On the Boomo Bug show today, Coach was talking about recruiting class and then got into the schedule. He did say we are playing Mercer in Montgomery on ESPN for the Kickoff Classic.

Roarlions has 23 football roster and coaches updated. I will miss Shoulders, that dude played hard in the middle, he was a plug. We appear to be in great shape on oline and secondary now.
