FB: American Southwest Conference

[D3Navy]

McMurry almost blew a 16 point 4th quarter lead. Then held Southwestern on their final drive, then went down for a 37 yard FG late. Final McM 36-26. Lots of big plays in the game tho'. I can see a 5-4 season from them.

I'm going to disagree on the 5-4 prediction but I'm probably more bullish on this years McMurry team than most. It's worth noting they dominated the game despite the final 5.8 to 3.2 yards per play and McMurry's starting QB is on the roster but didn't play. Idk the details there but if he is not injured long term McMurry brought almost everyone back and added a few good transfers... Not sure anyone on their schedule outside of UMHB and HSU will beat them and they might even sneak up on one of the big dogs... (preferably the one on the other side of Abilene).

I look forward to an excellent game on Saturday in San Antonio!

I watched a little of their game with Southwestern.  They played 3 QBs and alternated throughout. The new transfer from Midwestern St, Roper, looked the best as a physical run threat and passer.  McMurry made it closer than it should have been via sloppy special teams and penalties.

My 5-4 prediction is losses to Top 25 Trinity, HSU and UMHB and one "stupid loss" somewhere along the way. If the Southwestern game was that game where they almost blew it, then, yes, 6-3.

I totally spaced out on the Trinity matchup this weekend. You are right they will likely be underdogs in those three games: at Trinity, vs HSU & vs UMHB.

My bold prediction is that they'll win one of those 3 games and end 7-2. We will learn a lot about them this Saturday at Trinity. Not an auto win for the Tigers by any means but the are rightfully favored.

Totally blanked on that one, forgot they were playing Trinity. That could be a sneaky good game.
