I'd say..very cautiously optimistic is my outlook on this year. Pros: Painter's senior year, Tiller's final season, future head coach Hope leading the O line, two-headed senior attack at RB, healthy secondary, a couple key guys on defense returning (Heygood the main one). Cons: Injuries to O line, inexperience at WR, inexperience at LB, several key players lost from last year (Keller, Bryant, Lymon, Avril, Keglar, etc).
I've been saying 8 wins and I'm sticking to that for now. The Oregon game in the 2nd week should be a good indicator of how this team will play in the Big Ten season. I'll be there.
