The schedule looks hard because for the 3rd year in a row we have no idea what kind of team we have. If the young talent we have brought in these last few classes were game ready we would be talking conference title, beat tOSU, playoff berth etc. But we are still lost as to what this team will be.
3rd year is the year we see what a new coach can do and with a new QB and a younger more focused defense we will either sink or swim on both. I like our chances but to be realistic, we will lose a few games due to growing pains. But in defeat I damn well expect us to look like a contender, a team that went down swinging, a team that looked like it could have won had something bounced its way.
If we lose more than 3 games I will be pretty disappointed to be completely honest. Rough schedule and new QB and Defense aside this team has been building for 2017 for 2 years, so I expect to see it and I want to be pleased.
