This team will not win more than 3 games. That being said with the way football works they'll probably be a surprise team and end up bowl eligible.

Oregon has enough talent to not be down for long. I very much doubt they'll be anywhere near as bad this year as last year.
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.

i'll just go with fuck asu.

If Oregon State gets decent quarterback play and Dawkins and Tate are struggling that game wont go well either. We got run out of the building last year before the end of the first half

I think we will be better than people expect.

Which, clearly, isn't all that good. But we have something going offensively when either JJ or Nick are running. We were a 2 pt conversion (should have) from knocking off that UW team, and boatraced ASU once Samaje learned how to be a running back. There are going to be teams who just grind us, but we have enough to win 5 or 6 games on the high end. We also have enough depth issues to be right back where we were by the end of last year.

7:30 wouldn't be so bad back in the old days when games were closer to 3 hours. Now with replay, more commercials, and potential OT they are getting close to 4 hours.

What You Need To Know About The Arizona Offense

You know what you’re getting with Arizona. The defense is going to be optional for long stretches, but the offense is going to make up for the problems on the other side of the ball in shootout after shootout. But that didn’t happen last year.

The Wildcats were crushed by injuries in the backfield, having a hard time getting settled in at quarterback early on, and lost the top running backs to major injuries before the midseason. Fortunately, the parts are back, but how long can they all stay on the field?

Brandon Dawkins and Khalil Tate will battle it out for the starting quarterback job, while the backfield is very deep and – potentially – extremely dangerous if J.J. Taylor and Nick Wilson can get and stay healthy.

There has to be a more efficient passing game, with Shun Brown needing some help from the rest of the receiving corps, and the O line has to be far more physical and consistent, but again, much of that comes with health.

The only two schools I'm certain we'll get blasted by are the L.A. schools. I don't see how we do well at Oregon either. Other than that Utah & Colorado shed a boatload of starters, we get Utah at home and early when they tend to be in lower gear, and Washington St is at home and always iffy anyway. All in all it's a favorable schedule for badly needing a bounceback year. I don't at all feel as bad about this upcoming season as I did at last season's end.

Barring injury a pretty safe bet Dawkins will lead the Pac in QB rushing yards but be at the bottom in passing yards. Beat Denker's rushing record too.

UA will lead the Pac in total rushing yards too if Wilson can just stay a little healthy.
