I know its supposed to be tough, but I don't think that it is outrageously difficult of a schedule, except @ Michigan State. Certainly we will face a lot of quality P5 teams, but those are the type of P5 teams that I believe BYU would be like if we were added to a P5 conference (I believe Miss State isn't as good as they're held out to be; they get SEC bias). Those games can go either way. Cincinnati, Toledo, and Boise State are all going to be solid G5 teams, similar to BYU. Any of those games could go either way, though I like BYU's chances in all of them.
Obviously, we will have an all new coaching staff, with many of the coaches serving for the 1st time in their position. There should be a learning curve. But I also believe in this staff, the energy and commitment that they can get from their team.
I'm really looking forward to this next season because I don't know what to expect from the team. Its kind of refreshing to not have expectations.
