I don't think we will be ranked and/or undefeated going into the CMU game this year.
Do you kiss your mother with that tongue, Colin?! The hell you say!
What do you think the spread will be on the USC game? lol
I think USC will be the spread and the Broncos will be eating.

I say we won't beat the spread and it will be a little too low. I say it will "only" be 20.5 pts. That's my prediction!

If they have their cheerleaders doing that, give me a Bronco Bib, I'm going to town...

Most fans at Toledo game didn't have to go to work or class the next morning like they would after a weeknight game.

On a related note...how classic are USC's cheerleader uniforms? Hard to top that.

RE: 2017 schedule released
They are going to put up some points with a 4year starter at QB. Not sure we can keep up with a 1st year starter behind center.

And he is a Michigan born kid too so I am sure he will have lots of family and friends there and we played against him three years ago when he was a frosh, I am sure he would love some revenge against us......I think our defense will be ready to play, I see this as a tight game, WMU coming out with the win.

I think he is more of a NFL Coaches kid. His dad just happened to be coaching in Detroit when he was in high school.

I think we beat Idaho, state, and either Toledo or NIU for 10 wins. Maybe more if we happen to make the MACC again.

Too many changes for me to make a prediction now. The spring game should tell a lot.
I am disappointed we do not have more continuity with our coaching staff considering the unprecedented success we just experienced, but time will tell.
If Lester puts the QB under center and uses the I as our base formation (ala Dan Enos), I'll give-up, however.

If we had a returning QB and coach, I'd agree we'd beat MSU, but my guess is they'll be improved from last year too, but it'll be a slugfest like Fleck's first year.
Also Idaho isn't the 0-12ish team we played last time.
That being said, both should be winnable. UT and NIU on the road will be tough once MAC play rolls around. A favorable East schedule without Miami and Ohio is huge.
I'd be happy if we went 9-3 and are in the West hunt all season.
(Also, while winning the MAC is a must, our 1-6 bowl record is pathetic. Fleck only won us one, we need some more!)
