I’m not buying the hype. We’ll take a decent sized step back this year.

[gUrthBrooks]

Why?

[Dante Guardi]

because Hallandale trio is gone, there will be a huge drop in QB play and a moderate drop in RB play, gonna be tough to replace the D line and secondary. Next season will probably be 8-4 w some amazing moments and some wtf moments

[gUrthBrooks]

Is 8-4 a big drop off? Is 8-4 good enough for 3rd place?

[Dante Guardi]

I suppose we can still get 3rd. i think Oregon goes 11-1 or 12-0 and USC goes 11-1 or 10-2. Washington is pretty good and could go 9-3 but yea, 8-4 could get 3rd in the pac

[Tony (admin)]

8-4 is best case scenario I think.  7-5 more likely. 

[Utah5410]

Disagree. I think Utah could go 9-3. The schedule favors them again. I think the D will be much better than people think and we will have a legit offense with someone who can actually throw the ball.

The winner of the USC – Utah game will win the south and that game is in SLC.  Chances are not bad.
