That’s the ole build’em up to tear them down. Unfortunately that’s familiar territory for us.

Hope to God that’s over with…

If you have a Top 10 Quarterback, a Top 10 Running Back, a Top 10 WR room, an NFL TE, a Top 10 OL, and a Front 7 that has 70 combined quarterback sacks (pause), specifically 47+ just from your edge group, a Top 3 corner in your conference, a starting safety from a national championship runner up team, and a bevy of first and 2nd year blue-chippers, including TEN kids ranked in the Top 100 the last 2 classes, you should be in the Top 10 as a team.

Unless your group of coaches suck absolute horse ****.

I don't know. We'll be improved no doubt, but I still think we have a ways to go. I mean I think we win 10 games, but a naysayer might point out....

Our LBs are way too light in the ***. We're massively undersized there and that might hurt us in the run defense and taking on OL especially late in the season and late in games

Our DEs are talented but undersized somewhat

Our WR are too skinny. Every one of them are about 10 to 15 lbs too light so we might struggle getting off the line and struggle in the red zone and contested catch situations

I love our transfers and I like the guys we have but we're still a skinny team except for the OL, which by comparison is massive.

Also we struggled a lot with things like communication and just understanding assignments and calls last year, and it cost us games. The difference in the FSU game last year was a BS non-call on a safety and about 6 or 7 miscommunications/missed assignments on the OL and on defense.

Finally, we still commit too many dumb penalties.

So basically what I'm saying is this team has potential to be very good but whether they actually are or not depends on how hard they work this offseason. I'm hoping that our team culture is strong enough this year that the team is dialed in and getting after it now hard.
