How Many Games Can Leach Win Next Year with This Offense?
QB - Costello
RB - Hill
WR - Mitchell
WR - Heath
WR - Payton
WR - Tabor/Tulu
WR - Williams
LT - Cross/Eiland
LG - Parker/Smith
C - Sharp/Smith
OL - Reese/Pendley
RT - Lashley/ Dolla Bill
If the WRs can just run Leach's offense & catch the ball, there's a ton of talent on this offense. That OL may be the most talented Leach has ever coached
I love that our first 5 games aren't our toughest. Gives this team a great chance to get in a groove before playing the big boys.
If the WRs improve, which we expect to some degree due to Leach, & the defense is average, this offense can win at least 8 games.

I honestly think we can win 7 with 8 being realistic possible on how a few of our tougher conference opponents look like TAMU and Auburn.
I'm concerned about how long it will take to get the offense and Leach's ability to play to our current strengths, which is our run game with Hill.
Defensively I'm concerned about the back end giving up a lot of points. But I think we win 3 of our non conference, Arkansas and Missouri. Those are for sure. Between Kentucky, Ole Miss, and NC State I think we win at least 1 of those. Question is can we win 2 out of those 3 and sneak a win at home against Auburn or TAMU. That's what it boils down to for me. 7-5 is the likely outcome.
I think using the phrase "win at least 8" after revamping our offense as drastically as we are and basically rebuilding the entire staff is dangerous territory for unrealistic expectations.

We have to be realistic and give him a chance to get things going. Win 6 and keep the bowl streak and I'll be happy. Win more than 6 and it's gravy.

I think we'll know more after Spring. If we click, we actually have a good bit of talent to win some games.

There are 8 very winnable games on our schedule, that should be our expectation. Even JoMo would have us back in a bowl.

JoMo would have won 4 games next year

Whew..... I don't know about this boss
There are 8 on paper that we could win. We also don't know where Auburn or A&M will be when we play them.
A&M has really high hopes for next season. If they lose some early ones, there could be a good bit of frustration

I agree but I'm worried about us defensively and we don't need to leap unrealistic expectations on Leach. There will be a learning curve for sure. Give it time and enjoy it. If we win more than 6 next year I'll be ecstatic!

This at best. Our program was running off the rails with JoMo and was only getting worse

If nothing else, he'd be a good bubble screen guy with his running ability

8 if we get some immediate help on defense. Some guys will have to grow up fast.

And Fresno State right after us.
Ugh. We'll be there "time to step up game"
Who knows though, maybe we'll be in a groove

I do too! I think he could be a good one with his size, speed and agility

This is it, huge questions everywhere and things need to shake out. Winning 6 is good and winning anymore is all just lagniappe.

They also won't played anybody when they play is either. Untested. No physical DL opponent.

Sept. 5: at home vs. New Mexico Win
Sept. 12: on the road against North Carolina State Winnable
Sept. 19: at home versus Arkansas Win
Sept. 26: at home versus Tulane Win
Oct. 3: at home versus Texas A&M
Oct. 10: OPEN WEEK
Oct. 17: on the road against Alabama
Oct. 24 on the road against LSU
Oct. 31: at home versus Auburn
Nov. 7: at home versus Missouri Win
Nov. 14: on the road against Kentucky Winnable
Nov. 21: at home versus Alabama A&M Win
Nov. 26: on the road against Ole Miss Winnable
There are 5 for sure wins and 3 more winnable. Win 7 of those and upset one of these TAMU, AU, UAT, LSU (I think LSU is going to be pedestrian). 8 wins is our expectation.

We play New Mexico, nc state, ark, and Tulane before them, so doubtful we will have either.
