and Oline. The best available defensive mind back in charge. Unusual talent at corner. Genuine talent, although lacking a lot of experience, at safety and LB. A serviceable defensive line. An attention-grabbing schedule. Plenty of national exposure to make some noise. A cautiously hopeful fanbase who has bided its time, paid its dues... waiting. Waiting to learn its uncertain football fate amidst constant speculation of realignment. Waiting for that special season to take its rightful place among the elite in college football. Last but not least, a legitimate Heisman hopeful leading the way in Taysom Hill.

All of this can only mean one thing.

A September loss or two, and Utah coming out of nowhere for their first Rose bowl appearance.
