Any buzz on the new QB?

I donât believe that weâre among the pre-season betting favorites for this year.
Hoping for some good games. Time to get it rolling.
Hell, Iâd just like a Spring training QB update for now.

- We need to scrape our way to 6 wins somehow. Get back to bowl games. My prediction when we hired Fritz was he would get us to a bowl game in year 2 and then we would run off a string of them with 6+ win seasons until he leaves/retires. Time for Fritz to make good on my prediction.

Sounds good to me!
Iâm cautiously optimistic about 6-7 wins.
I would like for someone to give me an update on the QB situation.
Has Weigman impressed this far?

Football is only 5 short months away.
In the meantime, we have MLR, MLB, and Coog baseball.
Final Four in FootballâŠ!

6 wins?
We have a cupcake schedule!
Our OoC Conference is 3 Easy wins
- Stephen F Austin
- Rice
- Oregon State (note- they had a mass exodus of talent after the PAC raid)
Then, our Conference Slate is âMidââŠOnly Arizona State is a tough one, on paper.
Win the 3 Ooc + Win a little over half of our Conference Games gets us to 8.
Colorado will have a new QB and they are still a âup/downâ clown show
Texas Tech has our number
The rest of our opponentsâŠâmehâ
anything less than 8 wins is a colossal fail by our coaching staff.

Oh donât worry. We know that.
Itâs just that as bad as we were last seasonâŠwe need to be cautiously realistic about how great a leap forward weâll take.

8 wins is very realistic.
Hopefully, we do a little better but we need to stop setting the bar so low.
Arizona State made a huge jumpâŠsame with Colorado the year they landed PrimeâŠwhy canât we?
If our new QB is âas advertisedâ 8 is our FLOOR

Tech loaded up on ALOT of talent from the portal. Not saying that it will all gel for them but if weâre talking about matchups on paper, Tech has a damn good team on paper.

Iâll give you Texas Tech since we never seem to be able to beat them.
Here is our schedule:
vs. Stephen F Austin- WIN (1-0)
@ Rice WIN (2-0)
vs. Colorado LOSS (2-1)
@ Oregon State WIN (3-1)
vs. Texas Tech LOSS (3-2)
@ Oklahoma State WIN (4-2)
vs. Arizona WIN (5-2)
@ Arizona State LOSS (5-3)
vs. West Virginia WIN (6-3)
@ UCF WIN (7-3)
vs. TCU WIN (8-3)
@ Baylor LOSS (8-4)
8 wins is VERY manageable

That looks promising, however, Zona kicked our butts last season and WVU will be out for revenge from a few years back. Also, hard to say how UCF will be. Our all-time record against them isnât so great.
I would say that we can safely pencil in wins against SFA, Rice, Oregon State, Okie State, TCU (based on last year anyway), and perhaps one of the following: WVU, UCF, OR Baylor.
That gets us to 6 wins and a bowl.
Not sure Iâd put money on the rest, though Iâd love for your prediction to come trueâŠand hopefully include a win over Baylor as well!

They lost their OC which has to help
So if the expectation is 8 wins, Weigman must be having a heck of a spring.
There you go Law, finally an answer for you!

Why set expectations so low, we can beat everyone

On paper, many Big 12 teams will look quite a bit different due to how many they signed from the portal, UH included:
WVU, UCF, Arizona, OK State, Kansas all signing 20+ new players (Kickers, Punters and Long Snappers not included).
Of the 17 Tech signed, 11 were the equivalent of 4 stars in On3âs rating system and 5 were high three stars.
Compared to UHâs 19 where 1 was the equivalent of a 4 star and 3 high three stars
Do ratings services know what they are talking about most of the time? Not really, so this doesnât mean a whole lot but âon paperâ Tech loaded up
That being said, most college football pundits, Phil Steele included, had Arizona State as one of the worst football teams in the Big 12 and we see how much the portal can change a team.
