The team next year will be no better than this year
ASJ is gone (why play in this system again and have your stock fall even more)
Price is gone
replacing 3/4 of our secondary
Who cares if our oline is full of seniors they all suck except for Charles
It's possible Wilcox is gone too and with him will a go lot of the staff
Sark is still coaching
We'll get no better but the record will improve cause of the shitty schedule. We go 9-4 lose the bowl and doogs will talk about how it's progress

It will be an average to slightly above average team because of Sark. If we had a coach we could count on, I actually think next years team has a lot to be excited about.
-
The four cosmetic wins from the weak OOC will equal 9 or 10 wins and a statue for Sark. The team will be the same or maybe worse.
-
Wilcox isn't going anywhere
-
also, another reason is we aren't going to be this healthy again. Only having 1 or 2 injuries throughout the season, one being for significant time. It isn't happening again.
We lost Charles for a couple games, Price for 1, Shamburger for I don't even know how long cause I didn't really care, and Kasen for a few. -
If we are as good this season in 14 then the easier schedule will translate to potentially 10-3 in the regular season. We could actually regress but win one or two more games.
Both the O & D took steps forward if you look at the stats and especially yards per play. The D gave up about 1 less ppg overall. In conference the D gave up 14% more points but faced 15% more plays.
Everyone but Parker returns on D and the last recruiting class on D was strong so there will be improved depth across the board. The secondary will need to develop but Peters is a potential All-American.
Coons was awesome this year and we'll see if his loss costs us 1 game. Ross is looking good on kick returns so I bet that aspect will be better.
Offense is the X factor. Likely no Sankey but Washington will be a decent replacement and maybe having a QB who can run also mitigates the loss of Sankey. The OL actually had a decent season. You don't put up that many yards and yards per play with a terrible OL. ASJ & Kasen weren't big factors. Stringfellow will replace Smith.
Schedule is really favorable. @ UO, @UA & UCLA are toughest games. ASU loses a ton of starters and won't be as good. Stanford loses some guys but will be a tough game even at home. They've recruited well. Col, Cal, OSU are 3 wins. If we are as good at home as we've been the past three seasons then Stan & ASU are wins. Should be at least 9-3 going into the Apple Cup but 8-4 wouldn't surprise me. A good coach would take this team and be 10-2 heading to Pullman in first or tied for first in the P12 North. -
This team is going 5-4 next year in conference play.
Cook it! -
I disagree. The oline was bad. We were able to mitigate it against the bad teams but when the oline was a big reason why we couldn't score against Oregon, ASU, to a certain degree UCLA, and even WSUHeretoBeatmyChest said:If we are as good this season in 14 then the easier schedule will translate to potentially 10-3 in the regular season.

Outgained Stanford & UCLA. The OL was adequate enough for a 9-3 record and really only prevented UW from beating UO & ASU.dhdawg said:

Here's who we have to replace and how I see the possible replacements (better, worse, or even compared to this year)
QB- Miles or Williams (?, Price was so up and down it's impossible to predict)
RB - Washington (worse)
TE - Perkins or Ajamu (worse)
Smith - Stringfellow (even, but more upside on String
Shamburger - King, Walker,Beaver, etc. (better)
Parker-King, Walker, Beaver, etc. (worse)
Ducre - Kelly, Wallace (even, more upside on Kelly)
Fuimaona - Feeney (even, more upside on Feeney)
Coons - Who the hell knows (worse)
Sark better hope for some surprises from some of the young guys coming in. Other than Ducre, Fui, and Shamburger those are some damn big shoes to fill and in all positions except QB, CB Jermaine Kelly, and Stingfellow, the likely replacements are guys who were not highly recruited out of high school
