Predictions for NC A&T Game
They beat Kent St of the MAC last week in Ohio. So I assume they are a decent FCS team that has decent talent. Some of our TU rivals posters were trying to disparage KSU as being a "terrible" team, but I'm not sure thats the case. KSU returns 18 starters this year and won 3 games last year although none were impressive (Miami Ohio, UMASS and Delaware). So I assume we will see a team a slightly worse than SJS.
But I get the idea we need to wipe the Ohio St game out of our memory and look forward. I think we will, but I also think we need to play well to win and shouldn't overlook this team - a team we should never have scheduled imo. But thats for another thread.
So I think we will play well, but not great and win this game against a team that we should dominate, but may not. So I predict:
TU - 45
NC A@T - 17

On another note, I think most of us have heard the controversy about one of our players taking a knee during the national anthem. Even though that doesn't sit well with me, I do believe each of us has a right to express our political views and in that context I support that right. But I suggest that maybe in this political environment, the staff and administration make a slight change in our traditonal pregame procedure and have the national anthem just after the teams have warmed up and gone to the dressing room. That way, the players would not be under any real or perceived pressure to "express" themselves and create a situation where our own fans might boo our own players. That would not be something I want to see and most people as well.
In My Humble Opinion

RE: Predictions for NC A&T Game
I'm guessing our defense shuts them down and I'm going to be optimistic our passing game gets going.
Tulsa - 56
A&T - 9
Too bad their band isn't coming.
