I think we'll see a similar offense that puts up some good numbers (but doesn't look as awkward doing it) and a defense that might (MIGHT) be slightly improved but will ultimately still be a raging dumpster fire. The schedule is tougher, but any of these are winnable: EKU, Kent St, Baylor, MU (no Gabbert), @Tech, @KU, ISU. OSU and A&M are tossups. Would be nice to own Texas again, but Mack finally got rid of his crap assistants so I'm not holding my breath. Beating OU would be amazing, but not likely. 6-6 would be about what I'd expect, 9-3 being the ceiling, 4-8 being the floor.
I'm cautiously optimistic that we can pull out 7-5 or 8-4 since Brown will help out the LB's.
