teams have down/average years. I’m afraid we are losing too much production at QB and receiver and also have concerns at the d-line, specifically the center of the D, specifically the nose and linebacker ability to stop an inside rush.

We’ll be fine and competitive against the non P5 teams and even the lower P12 teams. I worry about the more dominant schools and our new offense and coaching changes. We may lose a game or two we shouldn’t as the coaches and team adjust. Plus we have the “be humble” curse thing going on where we can be great every 20 years and then win between 7-10 games each season before we slip further, rebuild and start all over.

Also, the schedule does us no favors and last year was an easy one so we seem better than we are.
