Do you really think Riley will try to use TA as a pocket passer?Tommy becoming a pocket passer? Laughing on that one.
Some other posters are predicting worse record because of the coaching change.New coaches, new systems, question marks on the back side of the defense, probably looking at 8-9 wins--again.
Agreed, also why I chose 9.I'm going with the ever-popular #9wins. If I had much faith in us having a QB who could consistently make the throws we need, I'd go 10.
I think we find a way to lose one of the other games - BYU, Miami, Minnesota or Iowa - in no small part due to poor QB play.
I guess it comes down to how you would feel if they don't win ten. Would you see it as a failure?I went with #10wins. I expect improvement.
I know Riley said he will get Tommy running, I think this writer needs to write about what he know.Do you really think Riley will try to use TA as a pocket passer?Tommy becoming a pocket passer? Laughing on that one.
I think we'll primarily use play-action and get TA out of the pocket where he has a run-pass option, and only minimally throw from a standard pocket.
Depending on the circumstances, no. On paper, we have the most talent in the division by a fair margin, a relatively easy schedule, and an apparent upgrade in coaching. Right now the floor is 9. Anything less is a failure, barring catastrophic injuries.I guess it comes down to how you would feel if they don't win ten. Would you see it as a failure?I went with #10wins. I expect improvement.
I voted 10 before I read the thread. And saunders says exactly my thinking.Depending on the circumstances, no.

This is pretty much now I will feel with what ever scenario comes out.Anything under 8 would be a disappointment imo. We aren't a national title contender this year but this should be a decent football team even with the changes. Building for years 2-5 is the most important thing regardless.
Below 8 - Not good enough
8 - Meh, first year coach
9 - Solid all things considered
10 - Good
11+ -
