I cannot see any tangible reason to think we can be better than 9-3. I will consider 9-3 a great success especially if we can win our bowl game and end up with 10 wins.

Three factors need to come together for us to win more than 9 games in the regular season: (1) O line needs to perform better than their talent level; (2) D line also needs to overachieve; (3) Danny Etling needs to GREATLY over-perform his talent level.

As always, much will depend on how proficient our opponents are this year.

I think it all comes down to what Canada is able to do with the offense. If they can pick up the schemes we will be successful. His style of offense will hide any deficiencies at QB. The OL will no longer be forced to block plays that are already read by the defense. Diversity, spacing, motion and adaptation will all favor the offense IF they are able to execute. Spring practice was not very promising, but that should be expected with a new OC and scheme. We have 5 games before Florida to implement the offense.

Defense will likely still be very good, but not as dominant as last year. Adams, Beckwith and White moving on hurts. But, we have good players filling those spots.

My other concern is special teams. Who knows if they will be decent or not?
