Alright there's hope to be had but let's not get too out of hand here, we still gotta actually win these games before we really can start talking.
 
I've mostly completely given up trying to make predictions over the last decade, but I'll give it a shot. Kind of.

*If* we stay relatively healthy, I think we go 10-3. I can see a world where we beat the big dogs (upset miracle against PSU and we feel the best we've felt in years) but still drop two to decent but not great teams on the schedule as we haven't totally figured out the consistency thing. That 10-3 might be a 10-2 regular season followed by a bowl/playoff loss, or it's a 9-3 season with a solid bowl win that people will say doesn't matter but will have us feeling incredible for our highest ranked finish since 2009.

If we suffer a handful of serious injuries and the 2nd and 3rd teams don't step up, I think we still eek out 8 wins but people are grumbly about it to a degree.

I think:
• We'll win a game with a field goal for the first time in forever (please be against Iowa)
• Dylan will look good but still have just decent numbers. Something like 3K yards, 20 TD, 10 INT
• Archie Wilson will go through some growing pains but also have some 'holy crap we love punting' moments
• We'll only be in a max of 4-5 one score games, but Rhule's record won't be better than .500 in them, with questions about his game management still lingering even with a lot of reason to be excited about this tenure working out
