Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Besides Browning, what player must have a good year for us* to be successful in 2016?
1. Gaskin, I'm not sold on the depth behind him. If he goes down with an injury, we're* kaput. Whoever said Motion Air Raid Offense (LOL) was right.
2. Darrell Daniels. Athleticism and skill to be a star for this team. Buried under a sea of other TEs and questionable coaching from everyone he's played under. The time is now. Especially given the unreliability of our* WRs.
Not even tempted to put a D player on here. They'll be fine. If only Pete had hired offensive assistants as well as he did defensive assistants. Alas.

Defense and special teams matter.
Offense is a bonus (see how the CUOG air raid ABSOLUTELY SUCKS without defense).
2. Adams - If he goes down we're? probably fucked. I'm not sold on Matt James and/or Andrew Kirkland being the starting LT on a P12 contending team.
3. Budda - The D is good and depth is pretty solid, but I think the dropoff from Budda to the next guy (Beaver? Gilchrist?) is pretty steep.
2. Adams - Duh.
3. Ross - There are four important games next year: Stanford, Oregon, ASU, USC. Ross can make plays against those teams and I'm not sure we have anyone else (outside of Gaskin) that can.
A successful season- 10 + wins and a BCS Bowl - requires every player have a "good year"
A few bright lights and average to below average years bring 7-6 and 4-5.

As he enters his first of two years with upperclassman status he can rewrite the publics perception of him easier than most might think. If he takes a step forward and becomes unstoppable on 3rd downs everyone will forget his struggles playing as a true fresh and then with a true fresh at QB. Close your eyes and imagine how different our season might have been had we completed say 10 more passes on 3rd down??!!! ( yes it got me hard too) 20-30 and I'm contemplating throwing all my porn away...our D with a decided TOP advantage??!!!!
