2024 Football Preseason Talk

Week 0 game between Tarleton State and McNeese shows McNeese appears to be much improved.  McNeese has a total of fifty-nine new players on its roster including a transfer QB who started for FCS runner-up Montana last season and several FBS to FCS transfers.  The QB transferred to a lower tier FBS school for the spring semester and then to McNeese over the summer.

It's game week.  Looks like Texas State is picked first in the west division of the Sunbelt Conference.  What should the expectations be for Lamar?  Any chance of a win?

If I had to guess, Texas State will be a 38 point favorite

It's the first week so this is basically meaningless.  That said, TSU-San Marcos -26 1/2

Almost…I see opened at 35.5 bet down to 32.5 with 61.5 total.

Close to 17-45 according to Vegas…. but what do they know

It doesn't look like anyone believes Lamar will deliver an upset, and with that I think the opportunity is can the offense move the ball against Texas States first team defense and can the Lamar defense avoid giving up the big play.  I'm looking for Lamar to keep it at a three score defict.

I put my prediction on the SWT Game thread.

Third place has to be the minimum goal for a good season; second or championship is icing on the cake.

LU web site does their last look at the football team, not including the special teams with the defensive backs.  This is the area with the biggest question mark and for me its hard to pick between it and the o-line for the position group that needs to step up the most compared to last year.
