Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

When you always open the season on the road and have been opening the season against good competition, you are susceptible to losing.

Heard and understood. I don’t agree, however. Freeman’s teams always need a kick in the butt to get going.

Calm and collective is good for the long run. But this isn’t baseball. Freeman needs his boys rolling week 1 and week 12

In a perfect world, yeah, I would agree. Unfortunately, our first time starting QB and unsettled DC had to play against two CFP teams last year.

I think 2026 could look much different.

They looked ready in College Station.

Some small sample size analysis being derived here. I’m not going to make any definitive conclusions off a calendar month where we only have 4 seasons of data and where we also typically have tougher competition. I’m aware of the trend, but not too concerned.

Three of the September losses were to Miami, A&M, and OSU @ The Shoe. I still can’t wrap my head around Marshall and NIU and not sure that I ever will be able to. So maybe the September hypothesis has legs, but again, aware but not yet concerned.

Freeman has also shown the ability to learn from his mistakes and adjust. I like to believe he will have this team ready to roll early. I almost worry about them getting too complacent this season and taking their foot off the gas.
