[QUOTE="Dman374, post: 1000061, member: 6785"] Full disclosure I picked over, and I think we'll hit the over, but I'll make the under case for S&G. When we start seeing actual post spring portal final roster power rankings I wonder how we'll actually stack up against our opponents. You'll see a theme below on how I could envision us going below the number. Want to start with turnovers. I love Haynes King, but he reminds me of a Brett Farve & Smoking Jay Cuttler style QB. Both of those QB's didn't fear throwing the ball down the field, and I'm glad we have that style of QB, but we also know sometimes those 50/50 balls don't get caught by the team wearing our jersey. I think he has less INT's than last year, but making the case against I'd say it would either stay the same or go down less than we would like to see. Also, a lot of these teams have their own transfer QB that could very well play much better in a new uniform just like ours did last year. Add to the fact the defense could improve and still not be improved enough, or we have the injury bug hit at the worst time at a key position, or worse at the same position, and I think the number of 5.5 is spot on.
