Let’s get it on. A new look cats team will take the field with a new QB, completely new look secondary, and a tougher schedule. A pivotal year to see if Vigen can essentially reload with new faces. Let’s dive in!
August 30 @ Oregon - L. Tough game to open with. If one of the young guys wins the QB job for them, this is a daunting first start for them. The Ducks were asleep at the wheel against Idaho last year, but I don’t see that being the case this year. They’ll have learned their lesson. Ducks roll!
September 6 vs. South Dakota State - L. What a tough game for both teams. Plenty of question marks surround both teams but they’ll still be two of the top 5 teams IMO this year. I know the cats have been basically impossible to beat at home but the reason I’m going with the Jacks is Chase Mason is a baller. I think he has a chance to pick apart the cats new secondary. This will be a close game and the cats may very well win it, but something’s telling me upset in this one.
September 13 vs. San Diego - W. Now things get much easier. I do think the Toreros are one of the favorites in the Pioneer League, but this game will be over quick.
September 20 vs. Mercyhurst - W. As if these guys didn’t learn their lesson last year, apparently they want more lol. They’re also gonna play road games against SDSU and Sac State. They’re gonna put on some serious miles in non-conference.
September 27 vs. Eastern Washington - W. Another day, another beat down for Aaron Best.
October 4 @ Northern Arizona - W. Games in the Sky Dome are always tough, just ask the Griz. I expect this to be a good game, but I’d be surprised if the cats don’t win this.
October 11 vs. Idaho State - W. Back to light work. No problem in this one.
October 18 BYE
October 25 @ Cal Poly - W. I think the last time the cats played in SLO, they hung like 70 or some kind of ridiculous number. Probably won’t be as bad this time but Poly’s still gonna get rolled.
November 1 @ Northern Colorado - W. Might as well end the game at halftime. On the bright side I hear UNC got some “stud” player back from the portal lol.
November 8 vs. Weber State - W. Will the long snapper throw 5 over the punters head again? Another steam roll game.
November 15 vs. UC Davis - W. Davis should take a considerable step back IMO. Cats should be fine in this one.
November 22 @ Montana. Don’t predict this one. You do gotta wonder at some point when we’ll get a close game. It’s been nothing but blow outs for five years.
——————————
Depending on the Brawl, I think the cats go 10-2 or 9-3. Definitely won’t be as good as last year but still very good. The ceiling is obviously 11-1 and the floor is 8-4. Both of which I think are unrealistic so I’ll go right down the middle. They got 3 pretty tough road games. If they lose to NAU they’ll have to play perfect ball the rest of the way or they might be playing in the first round. That’s my prediction. Thoughts????
