I think we have a good chance for 8 wins or better because the schedule is so much more manageable. Last year I didn't think too much of our chances overall because the schedule was such a bear. Playing the Turkies, da U, and BYU in a row with two of them away games; that's a pretty stiff briar patch to run through. This year, if we can avoid injury to our key skill players and the OL, I think 8 wins or, maybe, 9 are possible.
But, as with every football season, a lot will depend on sheer bum luck. There are only about 5 teams that are 9 or better every single year and we aren't one of them. Too bad, that.
