Normally I’m overly optimistic before game 1 but...can’t help it - I’ve got a bad feeling about this. If PJ can get to 6 wins with the schedule this year I’m back on the row boat. Purdue is improving, Nebraska is vulnerable but will be better, Indiana I haven’t a clue but they have a defensive-minded coach and that scares me a bit as they will be settling in. Illinois is a total rebuild and should be a W. Fresno State could be a very tough game, especially early on. Iowa is probably going to be pretty good. Wisconsin same. Ohio State. Maryland insane team speed and that talent tracking - can they suck forever under Durkin? The answer is YES but maybe they’ll be good this year.
OTOH our secondary depth is scarily thin. We lost some key cogs up the middle and there are question marks there. Our QBs are as green as can be. Our WR corps - one known difference maker. Can DD, CAB, Bateman, Paulson, Kieft produce THIS year - more question marks. Offensive line - question marks. Everything feels like it could be a year away.
Tell me I’m nuts.
