    I guess the reason why I heard no names for TE is because Jimmy just promoted from within.

    I would love 10-2, but I’m guessing 8-4 is more likely.

    I don't see how we'd go .500 against Michigan, at Oregon, at USC, and at Utah

    I also wonder if we'll continue the tradition of the bizarre away game loss against inferior teams

    This is the question that I'm most interested in. If Donovan can match Bush's output (writing that makes me sick) and the defense takes the step we think it will then we should win 10 games next year. IF, we can avoid the mysterious let downs against shitty teams. This years team wins ten if they show up to beat Stanford and Colorado, not to mention they were playing with the lowest output defense since 2014. It's not a hard equation. I'm just not enthused with the idea of grinding out hard, ugly 26-17 wins every week. I prefer the plunger method.

    Utah will suck. It's an embarrassment to those other teams to include them.

    @sonics1993 are you in agreement with Chester that being non-white should have been the top qualification for the OC and/or TE hire?

    On a serious note

    1- any other info on the GA "offer"? I'm assuming he's looking for a higher job than co defensive backs coach.

    2- what do you know/think about Cato?

    3- what % do you put as at for just Yary? (Not including Togiai)

    Washington is really the wild card in the Pac-12 next year I think. I can see them being as good as conference champs, or as bad as 7-5, and it's really going to come down to what the new offense looks like. Defensively they should have one of the, if not the best unit in the conference, and that should be good enough to keep them in every game so long as the offense is at least halfway competent. That's a mighty big if though, because the offensive side of the ball is littered with question marks from top to bottom, at each position and in terms of coaching.

    @WillyRBeek I disagree a bit here. Our offense is going to be shaky and shaky offenses don't travel well. I think we lose 3 games minimum and 5 games maximum. What's going to determine our success is Defense. It's one thing we can reliably expect to travel. I don't care if we lose the Michigan game as much as the importance of playing physical. If the message is sent that you have a dawgfight coming to your stadium when the boys show up I like our changes to go 2-2 during our road game conference stretch while the Offense jells for the last half of the season with a lot of home games.

    We are going to lose 6 games next year
