So it's been a crazy offseason so far! Just thought I'd start this thread up & pose a few thoughts and questions to get the convo goin. Gonna be a long month or 2 'til the game comes out & then the season starts.
What kind of record do you guys think this team will end up with? Baring an upset that comes out of nowhere, I personally only see a few games as potential losses: Washington, Texas, Mizzou, Texas A&M and perhaps Okie St because it's on the road in between Texas & Mizzou. I think everything rides on that Texas game. I believe they will be undefeated heading into that one, & if they can come away with a convincing win, in what is sure to be one of the wildest games Memorial Stadium has seen in a LONG time, that momentum will carry them through the rest of their games.
My prediction would be that they beat Texas but stumble elsewhere and end up with 1 loss heading into the Big XII Championship. Depending on how the rest of the country shakes out, I see a BCS game & potentially an NC appearance if other teams (Boise St, Alabama, Ohio St) struggle.
Obviously a lot of this depends on a competent and HEALTHY offense. While I don't think they'll be GREAT by any stretch of the imagination, I think improved health & depth along the Oline will allow them to open up the playbook a little more this year & have some success.
Just a few thoughts to get the conversation rolling!
