If Beck and the key pieces on the Oline stay healthy, no reason UM can’t be top 5.
Beck can make every throw, and has done so. We all worry about the receivers, but even last year the WR’s weren’t making a lot of plays beyond catching the ball. We weren’t turning bubble screens into 70 yard TD’s. We all remember X breaking the ankles on the UF dback, but more often than not, the receivers were open because the Oline gave Cam time, and the running game kept defenses honest. There is no reason to believe that will not happen again.
The bottom line about pass defense is that defenders can only cover receivers for a finite period of time. So if the QB has time, and can make throws, the offense will win. We have the QB and we have the Oline.
