What kind of returnees do y'all have next year. Itd sure be fun to watch you guys cause more havoc out West. With Stanford and ASU on the slate y'all could definitely do it.
The bad news: We lose four of five offensive lineman. We lose our two Team Captains on Defense (Alex Barrett DL, and Calvin Munson LB). We also lose our two time MW Defensive Player of the year in Damontae Kazee, and lose Malik Smith our best Safety. Of course, we lose Donnell Pumphrey.
The good news: two of our projected starters on the Offensive Line were hurt before the season, so they will be back. We have HUGE backups that should fill the void. Most of the players in our two deep on defense are coming back. Furthermore, we platoon players on defense anyway, so we have significant experience returning on the defense you just watched.
On Offense, we have all of our skill position players returning. Our best tight-ends return. Furthermore, Rashad Penny is almost as good as Pumphrey is as a RB, and Juwan Washington showed he could run for 100 yards in games.
We play UC Davis, @ Arizona State, Stanford, and NIU OOC next year.
In conference we play Nevada, Boise State, New Mexico, and Fresno State at home. While playing, San Jose State, Hawaii, Air Force, and UNLV on the road.
We never lose to Air Force (Have beaten them six straight times), should beat Boise State at home, but New Mexico will be tough.
My prediction: 9-3 (6-2) or 10-2 (7-1). We will beat either Arizona State on the road or Stanford at home. Not both. Potential losses in conference include on the road against Hawaii, and at home against New Mexico.
