2013? Perhaps there is more to the equation than just last year's result. A loss to USU this year would be completely inexcusable given who they expect to put on the field.
BSU also has some significant personnel losses, in addition to our D hopefully putting on at least a slightly better effort than merely getting off the bus and standing on the field.
Nebraska plays right into our hands. They're a team that won't be all that good at throwing the ball this season, and yet that's gonna be their offensive focus. The jury is out on Michigan. UCLA and Missouri appear, at this point in the pre-season, to be tough roadies, though neither was all that good at throwing the ball last year and don't look to improve this year.
Our Pass D is our weakness. Not many teams on this season's schedule are built to exploit it this season.
