1. Year 2 under the CBK system. I fully expect to win tomorrow and so going from 6-7 to 10-4 is truly remarkable. If we can continue this trajectory we can expect 4-5 Playoff appearances the rest of this decade.


2. Recruiting/Transfer Class- Each year CBK will bring in more high caliber players that fit his system who are also good stewards of our University. Each year the "bad apples" from Orgeron era will be less.

3. Schedule. The opening game will be a top 10 matchup; however, after that it sets up very nicely. I think we will be favored in every game but Bama with FSU being up in the air.

I really wish the 12 team playoff started next year as I think we will finish top 12. Need to get a few more pieces via the transfer portal and we can beat anyone on our schedule.

Geaux Tigers and hope everyone going to the game has fun.

With that coaching staff and all the players coming back, I’m thinking anything less than an 11 win season would be rather disappointing.

Polian is still on staff and is not going anywhere. Depth at several positions is critical

I heard he was out after the bowl game. Figured it was just rumor with no legs

Going to have a really good offense with a defense with lots of holes to fill. Depending on how they fill those holes will dictate the results of next season. We still have quite a bit of bandages to put on this defense. I think we will see that in this game.

Hopefully our QB will let the ball fly and we can find a running game besides our QB. I think Purdue will still find ways to score and our defense will have to step up big in this game. It could happen but I could also see us struggling against a still veteran offense. We are losing some major pieces to this defense and don’t have veterans to replace that loss. Maybe we can help support that loss in the portal and those players will gel with the players already here. That’s easily CBKs biggest obstacle this off-season and if he can pull that off, I’ll be thoroughly impressed.

We had pretty mediocre defense this season and middle of the pack SEC defense overall. That was with a pretty bad SEC defensive season. We may get very lucky and hit on these transfers and may get more production out of them as a whole. So it could go either way. On one hand it may not be so hard to improve on our production but on the other if the new players don’t fit we could get worse. I’m hoping that’s not what happens and I think it’ll be more likely to end up with similar to slightly better numbers and then we start getting better after next season.
