re: What's your realistic projection for overall season?

Based on most people's responses, it sounds like USC is a must-win. I have to agree. Tonight is not only a must win, it's a game we have to look very good in. The offense - even with a true freshman QB - has got to continue moving in the right direction. The defense needs to show massive improvement. No more missed assignments, bad angles, no more missed tackles and no more half-arse effort. We need to get more push up front, our LBs need to show up for the first time this season and our DBs need to show they are as talented as advertised. I realize we're young, but that's no excuse for a defense to look this bad against the bottom feeders of the SEC!
