I think this season is probably the most important season in the history of our football program. This past one was pretty important because of how well we did, but we were expected to do well. But now the expectations are low. Many think we have no shot at anything and that's going to be the message and we better get used to it until September gets here. Team lost a lot of leaders, lot of seniors, lot of minutes played. But there are still a lot of experienced veterans on this team.
How do we respond? Do we come out with a chip on their shoulder and play lights out like last year? Do we roll over and let the pressure and the negativity get to us? This might be Dan Mullen's toughest coaching job next year. We did lose a lot and we have our schedule that is typically not so favorable for our record. If he gets us to 8 or 9 wins in a year where people think it's going to be tough for us to make a bowl, then I think the respect will finally come.
As long as we can find a QB to replace Dak, I don't ever see us being a 6 or 7 win team again. We've got too much talent here, so to me if we can overcome the odds this year and get to 8 or 9 wins, we won't ever really be down again.
