I never said abandon anything, I'm just calling it like I see it. And it's not just teuhema, we lost 2 O Linemen in less then a week. And 4 in the past few months. That's not great for the big boys up front. Now we have to rely on a 2 deep across with no experience on the back end of that. It's not great odds for us. I'm not a negative tiger by any means usually I call for 12-0 every year but I'm looking at this and it's not great man being honest it's gonna bite us in the arse at some point

Well here's the thing. With Canada's offense we don't have to rely on road graders. Our OL will be more mobile and not have to move DL at the point of contact and rather chip, angle, trap and pull. Because of this I don't think we will be as reliant on OL that is physically developed and more on technique and scheme knowledge. If that's the case then as long as the younger players pick up Canada's scheme they can be inserted with less drop off. JMHO

And I'm not trying to be an over-posi-Tiger. But I'm not ready to concede a single loss until after I see how Canada runs this offense. Losing the Olinemen hurts, but there's a completely different offensive strategy starting in four weeks.

If this was the Miles era still, yeah I'd say 7 wins tops. But Miles and Cam are gone so I'm not going to panic, yet. I want to see how the offense does against a good, physical BYU team first, then I will begin to try and get a feel for how the next game will go, and so on...
