Yes, it’s tough. No doubt. And I am not making any predictions. But we get our toughest games at home. We play a venerable (but down) Tennessee program on the road. We get Utah very early at a time when they will be trying to establish a new offensive identity (yet again). USC has been down. We have them at home. Washington lost a lot of players. We have them at home. Boise State lost a lot of players. We have them at home.

It could be a special season. We return a lot of talent. We added talent where we need it. I have faith in our coaching staff. I hope Cougar nation will get behind this team.
