Let's face it, our schedule in 2010 is very difficult, and everyone has hope for improvement in the team overall, but does not expect to see an improvement in the W column. Let's look ahead one more year quick...
Schedule:
@ USC
New Mexico State
Miami (Ohio)
North Dakota State
@ Indiana
Wisconsin
@ Ohio State
Michigan State
@ Michigan
Northwestern
Penn State
@ Iowa
- Brewsters full recruiting classes will be upper-classmen
- Gray will have had a year of leading the offense under his belt after 2010 and really start showing his talent
- The OL will have much more size and talent. We're already seeing improvement. Another 1.5 years with Davis and they'll be a solid core.
- Our defense will be reloaded with speed an size. Our young DL's will have a full year under their belts and establish a decent pass rush. Linebackers will be stronger and faster. Young D-backs have shown promise already. After the big recruiting class this year, will be loaded with talent in 2 years.
- The schedule is much more favorable.
- It's a tough road schedule, but OSU should have a new QB (Pryor goes to the draft after a strong junior season). Indiana, though improved, is who we thought they were. Michigan may have a new coach and is beatable at home. Iowa is always tough on the road, but have not dominated us in Kinnick like they have at our place as of late.
If we're looking for a true test of an improved program, this will be the year. If we fail, Brew gets canned. However, I will put myself out there as saying we get 8-9 wins and finally go to a January bowl game.
Go Gophs!
