I know its early, but what does everyone see record wise next year? 6-6, 7-5 would be, pie in the sky best possible results in my opinion. I see 2-4 heading in to the Georgia State game and toss-ups beyond that.

I've got 7-5, but 9-3 is very possible, and so is 4-8. I see more downside. We need to find a running game, and D needs to step up | Thu, Sep 03 | VMI | W |

With the West seeming to get stronger, difficult to predict any of those games. Close games went against us last year and for us the year before. It's time we got some breaks, so I'm in the 7 - 5 camp. With possible 8 - 4. I see the offense improving even though we lost Quake. I also see moderate improvement on D.
Go Cards!

I am with both of you on this as I lean to 7-5 or 8-4 as realistic. My biggest concern is having a power back in short yardage situations which will be plentiful with our schedule and league balance.
I think a Northwestern win could also be in the Cards!

The D is my worry. i think we have enough talent to put up points but i think the D has lost too much over the past few years. If they go 9-3 or beat NW..im having a heart attack!! so please some get a defib ready!

I got 7-5 also, I think we will get up for the Northwestern game and get an upset as MAC teams due against B1G but will have some trouble with Toledo and Northern. UMASS will be a tough game again as they have their QB Blake Frohnapfel return who was very impressive against our D last year.

Defensive line and the QB situation will determine how this seasons turns out. We won't be able to outscore teams as we did with the Wenning and Davis crews. 7-5 with a win over Northwestern University in Evanston. I hope the Cardinals prove me wrong by winning more than 7.

Im going with 8 wins . A bowl appearance and the first bowl victory ! Go Cards ! Sure hope you are correct. If we can protect the QB and give him some time our passing attack will be a real threat to any opponent including Texas AM. Keeping them honest against the mid to long ball will be a plus to the running game. Bottom line - we should be able score against anybody but will the defense stop or slow down folks appears to be the question needing to be answered. |

As far as A & M is concerned, Lembo will have a lot of material to work with the following week in practice. Hoping for an injury free day.

Pretty much agree with Cardfan12, particularly on the first part of the schedule.
Still hoping that we can get at least one of those three straight losses that you're projecting
there in the middle of the schedule.
Those last five games are the ones that are going to be extremely critical. You've got some
"W"'s there that certainly aren't gimmes. UMass beat us last year and BGSU will have their
QB back. OU's been solid the last few years and I don't exactly predict that as a "W".
My buddy and I, coming back from the Spring Game, went through the schedule and even with
the improvement that I think we show, my realistic projection would be 6-6.
I certainly agree that we will be better offensively than what we were last year. We are much
more settled at quarterback and the MAC is such a QB driven league. With the number of
defensive folks that were held out of the Spring Game I'm still thinking we're going to be
improved on that side of the ball too. Posely and some of those folks look pretty darn good.
Anyway, anything we get above 6-6 is a plus, but I see that as realistic.
Giving Lynch another year experience and the same with Kelly with our kids has to be a plus, too.

A repeat of 5-7 appears to be in the Cards. We might be improved but I think our roster is still a step below the power teams in the league. We just don't have the impact players or size the other teams do. Another issue is we seem to be really injury prone. (is that due to our players being outsized so many spots?) We will not beat NW. Texas A$M can name the score.

Think we have a chance to flip our record and go 7-5. QB situation isn't as messy as last year. Lembo hasn't let us down on offense since he's been here, I trust the guy to get something going. The D has some losses BUT if there's one area where Ball State is used to being thin, it's on defense.
