Don't need to pray about. Either they step up and play like they have 16 starters back and depth or they don't. Simple as that. You need to pray that Bama State don't dethrone JSU in the East with all they have returning. The West is always up for grabs. Hell even as bad as we started last year, we were right in the SWAC West race until the PB game put us out of it.
JR.. let me tell you something. Ya'll were NEVER in the SWAC WEST race. Who told you that? You were 2-2 going into that game. You act like ya'll were 6-1 going into that game. :smh: You have to play NINE SWAC games but you "in it" by playing 4 games? :lol: The after that, you only beat ONE really bad team. Those 16 starters you have coming back lost to some really bad teams. They have a long way to go. You can have 16 starters return but that does not mean they will be any good...In fact, they are not any good. You will have the same players and same coaching staff that lost FOUR out of their last FIVE games. Thank goodness GSU didn't have a prayer last year or it would have been lost 5 out of the last 5.
I could see if ya'll were happy because you started out 0-6 and won 4 of your last 5. I just don't understand.
..and this is not to say that ya'll won't give JSU a good game. It's early in the season before injuries set it and your lack of depth shows. Also, SU gets up for JSU like Valley gets up for JSU so even if ya'll sorry, you do all you can to beat JSU. But by no means are you even close to being on our level.
