We should roll our entire schedule. We don't have a single decent opponent.
We don't even need that many points to see a significant spike in scoring offense.I think the schedule sets up fairly well to get things rolling into Michigan State. If the Defense improves through experience and the offense maximizes the new scheme with our players we should be in the position to win this game, on the road against a Big 10 team.
Even cautious expectations have us in a spot to be undefeated after this game.
Problem is our fans either focus on last year as you pointed out or see spread offense and expect to start the season scoring 77 points a game.
The UAB game may be tougher than MSU. Don't sleep on UAB.My biggest ? mark is how quickly can the players on O pick up the new system. I think the D will be just as good as last year - maybe a little better - and if the O can pick it up, the D may benefit from that as well.
Temple and UAB will present some challenges, but at least we've got 3 games before MSU to get some bugs worked out.
At least until UM starts 'rolling' teams like FIU, GT, Duke and CMU!
It's simple. It's like getting excited seeing quality ingredients given to a chef. The best meat, seafood just got caught off the nearby sea, freshest home grown organic vegetables and herbs, exotic spices and and all the kitchen equipment any chef needs. Then you remember the last meal that same chef cooked for you.So what's the disconnect here?
All I see on this board is people fired up about Lashlee, transfers like King, and this recruiting class.
But when asked about our toughest game being a ****** Michigan State team it's back to terrible losses from last year. Make up your minds. You can't be excited about those things and then be cautious about Sparty. Because these things don't compute.
Tell me we don't roll these clowns.
Exactly “ Last year”
a whole new ball game this year
That analogy only works if you think Tate Martel, Jarren Williams, and Dan Enos are the same ingredients as King, Lashlee, and our new offenseIt's simple.

My face is permanently affixed to the CIS Mt. Rushmore of morose mother****ers, even I can see we are already better.We don’t roll these clowns.
Until further notice, we don’t roll anybody, with the exception of FCS teams.
The stench of the last few years, and the especially acute putrefaction of last year, do not go away in our minds. We roll no one until It’s been proven we can do it consistently.
Therefore, saying we’re going to roll Michigan State is absurd.

And realistically there are some ingredients that are hard to f up, no matter how bad the chef.That analogy only works if you think Tate Martel, Jarren Williams, and Dan Enos are the same ingredients as King, Lashlee, and our new offense

Enos had us at 25.7 points a game and ranked in the 90s. If we only improve our scoring average by 3 points we are in the 50s. I don't think we are going to win anything meaningful with Manny, but to think we wont make a gigantic leap forward with our offense next season with this qb, staff, and scheme is bizarre.
And on defense, we'll see a drop off for sure, but it won't be catastrophic.
Because ****ting on Pinckney and Quarterman basically became a meme on this board, and I think some people underestimate how much we'll miss them next year. Losing Bandy hurts too.What makes you think we take a step back on D? Elite DE talent, above average DT’s, vet LB and a bunch of young athletic other ones, very good Safety group, above average corners and Rumph has shown he can improve guys dramatically year to year. I can’t see a step back D in my opinion

Idk why, but I think we're going to win by 2 TD's.
Me neither. I should have written ‘IF....’I mean, I like our new coaches and players, but not taking anything for granted.
