Assuming that the defense produces about the same numbers as last year, how much better does the offense really need to be for us to win 10 games this year?
Below is a list of our losses from last year:
Boise State 13-16
Cal 24-30
Oregon 20-26
Stanford 14-31
Utah 23-34
Arizona State 17-27
Other than Stanford and Utah I think that we win all those games if our offense is even slightly better. My expectations for next year are that every offensive position group improves a little bit with the biggest jump being the QB/WR productivity (because fuck Brent Pease and Smith is coaching for his life). O Line should be slightly better and I would say that the run game takes a big step forward except I think we still won't give Gaskin the ball enough.
When I look at our schedule next year I see 4 tough games: 1) At Autzen against a probably worse Ducks team. 2) Stanford with a new QB and a few players lost off the defense & offense. 3) A talented SC team with a new QB. 4) Koogs in Pullman.
Other than the Cougs I think all of those teams are probably a bit worse than they were last year. Assuming we? split those 4 games we have 10 wins right there. 10 wins seems like the bar that most people have set for this upcoming season and it looks pretty reasonable to me.

Flagged for implying that a 10 win season is good.

I made a pilgrimage to honor our @Owen12 brothers -
Average loss was 8.3 points per loss. 2016 offense will be 14 points better per game. 12-0 mother fuckers! Happy 4th!

Offensively, I can see an argument for improvement at each position group, but I would also say each group is thin enough that one key injury could cause a significant regression.
Defensively, DeathRow is loaded overall, but I still worry about who's going to rush the QB. Mathis has been wildly inconsistent. Johnson seems to be making strides, but at 280# I don't know if he'll be quick enough to be an effective edge rusher in the nickel. I had expected to hear a lot about Potato and ChiefJusticeEarlWarren this spring, and instead heard nothing. Rice? Sterk? A couple young guys need to step up as edge rushers, because we* are straight fuckt every time Psalm Wooching sets foot on the field. -

The problem is not that our offense is not good. Although it wasn't great.
The problem is we are fucking losers.
Any time we had to come back or put a team away that was decent, we fucking folded.
Also, worrying about edge rushers is FS. We? replaced ~6 NFL players and had a better defense. If you think that the D coaches can't figure out how to rush the QB with this roster (even though they could lose 3 first rounders and improve) you are a fucking moron.
Still, none of that solves the problem that we choked away every loss we had last year other than Stanford. -
I chincredibled because it was a fact-based measured rant.
