Let me start by saying I'm trying really hard to be optimistic...but, also realistic. I am sure many will hate that! Let's try to have a discussion...
I look at this to be a challenging year. Starts in the trenches and I think we're a year away. Three new starters on the offensive line and several RS freshmen in the two deep. New starting QB. Awesome running backs and receivers. But those skill players are only as good as the holes to run through and time to throw. I think we'll look great against some teams and struggle against good defenses. Guys on the d-line who may be a year away and a new system. LB's mostly unproven.
Schedule ends tough -except for the Beavers. ASU; USC; Stanford; Utah. And I think we lose at least one game we should win. All in all, I think 8-4. Just can't see winning the north or the conference.
