I hate to say it, but I think they are right.

We are installing an entirely new offense that we haven't practiced yet. I think switching coaches and schemes is a way bigger deal than some on here realize. See 2018.

I have no idea what NC State is bringing to the table, but it's an early OOC road game. We never fair well in those.
UK is going to be a very tough game.
Ole Miss is going to improve. I feel like you are fooling yourself if you don't think so. Also, one side rarely ever beats the other 3 in a row. Also in Oxford.

I think 5-7 or 6-6 is a realistic projection as much as i hate to say it.
