3 options. I just can’t see this staff losing more than it wins this year. Maybe I am too optimistic, but thought winning 7 games sounded doable and if some breaks fall our way, maybe more.

Not a lot of confidence from the public. The leader when I voted just now is “less than 5 wins”. To be fair, UNA has another really difficult schedule this year. That’s good, I’d rather have this schedule than still be playing the likes of Hampton and Bob Morris. But that does mean this team could be a lot better this year and still not really have a record that proves it. I made the comparison the other day of this staff with Hudspeth, and how his first year wasn’t great. We went 4-7 that year with several close losses. With the portal and some of the guys we’ve brought in (and returned from last year), I do think a winning record isn’t impossible. I’m excited to see what this team can do. FWIW, I voted for “5-9 wins”. We’ll see. |

Ever being the optimistic person that I am, I think UNA CAN win at least 7.
Last year, with a sub standard coaching staff, we had the opportunity to win several games that would have frankly put UNA with a winning record.
I know, we wouldn't know. But I think last years schedule was just as hard as this one, and we was in a lot of those games.
If our coaching staff is better, which I believe is the case, I could see UNA winning 7-8 games and MAYBE be in the playoff conversion.
I could also see us winning 4 or less, and still be a successful season considering the past few.

Well at least more than 50% are saying more than 5 wins. Trending in a better direction now. Week 1 victory would be awesome for momentum and confidence for this team and staff. Really hoping temps drop, planning on going for sure.

Really hoping temps drop, planning on going for sure. I think we win that first one. I think we have the horses, and had them last year, with a better hand on the reins. That, plus being an unknown quantity, will be to our benefit. Things get tougher as we go through the season and opponents begin to figure us out. I'm thinking we have more Ws than Ls. That's saying a lot as the schedule looks challenging. I have high hopes. Is it football season yet? |

I just hope the Lions find a way to eke out at least four wins. Then I'll be content going forward.

This is Dearmon's first year and most first year coaches for most sports are usually the worst. While they made some progress in recruiting, there is still a lot left over from the previous staff that I don't think are FCS talent... Below is my prediction: Mercer - Loss; Goal is to be within 14 Ut Chat - Loss Tarleton State - Loss Tennessee Tech - Win UT Martin - Win Eastern Kentucky- Loss Abilene Christian - Win Utah Tech - Win Austin Peay - Loss Central Arkansas - Loss FSU - Loss |

Hopefully the transfers on defense give us the firepower to win 4 games. Evans is also a big get on offense to go with Lacey, and TK. Expect our Qb to be improved after valuable experience as a freshman. Offense should one of the best in conference. If defense can force some punts and turnovers, we should win 6 without breaks. 7 plus wins if some breaks go our way. We have some playmakers for sure on offense and hopefully have a couple on defense now too.

I'm optimistic as heck! Win or lose, the atmosphere has changed and it's refreshing.
