Yeah I don?t see any scenario we get to 9, much less 10 wins if we lose to ArizonaQuote:

Just like "Leach doesn't play defense." Yeah, he does. He's fired DCs for doing shitty coaching. He's had good defenses at Tech and WSU.Quote:

We don't another Charles Cross level performance. We need an average LT and we'll win 8. The defense may actually help us get to 9.Quote:

Everybody tells me we should be Kentucky. Mississippi is rebuilding for the 2nd year in a row with a new QB.Quote:

Framing 8 as the floor is not realistic. There is a reason Vegas says we are a 6.5 win team.Quote:

KY has become a hard place to play.
4 is the floor. 11 is the ceiling. I say 7-5/8-4.
4 non con. Sizable Favorite.
Uga and Bama. Sizable underdog.
6 toss ups (Aub, KY, LSU, Aggie, Ark, UM).
Lose to Arizona?Quote:

I still can't get past the fact that in some mythical vegas book, we opened as a -8 favorite against Memphis. That is nuts. Of course it is up to -16 today, which still seems very low.
We are going to have to get comfortable with the idea that we have a good team, with a few holes. Good teams with just a few holes, usually win 8+ games. I expect us to as well.
Vegas said we were a 7 win team in 2014. They miss fairly often as well.Quote:

Having your toss-up games at home usually gives you the advantage. It's our year to win alot of the toss-ups. We lose alot of good players on D after this season. Not to mention 3 OL starters. We have to make this year count.
Recruiting is not dropping off despite NIL, I don’t see how this is Leachs best team he is over going to have. I think when you have red shirt seniors-that he recruited, especially on the O line, then you can make more informed judgements.
The QBs are going to be better and better as are the receivers. I like the young guys he’s signing on defense as well as the o line.
I agree we should have won, but it should have never been left to the refs to decide.Quote:

I dont think we have recruited the DL near well enough to overcome the losses after this Fall. losing 3 OL guys and both OT's again for the 2nd year in a row will takes it toll. We are already worried about the position for this season and we lose both of them after the season.Quote:

"Most loaded talent in America"
SELL
I agree with alot of that.Quote:

Only 1 team in America plays 6 of the top 21 teams in America. We are the 1 (Aggie, ark, Bama, uga, ky, UM).
Dolla bill and Kam jones are juniors on the field. I guess they could leave early though.Quote:

It'd probably be counterproductive to have all three come back because that would probably just ensure younger guys transfer out, but if we don't have more than one underclassman that looks ready for OT, then that might be a good place to spend NIL money.Quote:

That's probably irrelevant unless Ducking gets hurt and wants to Redshirt and comeback for a 6th year, but surely we didn't redshirt him in a year that eligibility didn't count.
