With a new QB and new emphasis on offense, and a new D.C. And new scheme on defense, there is too much that is new to expect the team to play like veterans. They will need time to adjust. I would expect a lot more in 2018.

No but funny! We need to beat average teams before we worry about championships.

New D.C., lack of offensive line depth and a new QB plus a tough schedule = 8/9 wins. I'll take it

We're not there yet -- Penn State and Minnesota on the road are two likely losses, and the home schedule is brutal.

not enough speed...yet

New passing type QB, O-Line that will get our non-running type QB sacked, losing our top receivers to graduation, implementing a new defensive scheme and losing our top Safety, and to top it off a very tough schedule. 6-6 or 7-5 next year.

really 4-8 HCMR has had no success in college what makes you think he will here let alone next yr. two things we need dual threat QB and run the ball neither will happen we could not block this yr. what makes you think it will be better next with just a passer and no threat to run ?????

The curse of Solich continues! Dumbest move ever, firing him!!

Looks like we are rebuilding again. Don't see us doing any better than 3rd in the west. That's where we are these days. A little better than Minnesota, not as good as Iowa...

New QB and a new defense. Going to take superlative talent for that to happen, so unlikely.
