I originally posted this in the Scab article thread, but it fits here better. BTW, I'm not the originator. Another member on another board posted it and he knows I'm reposting it...
New offensive coordinator, considered a downgrade from Gus Malzahn.
You're going to transition from a popcorn, backyard offense into a power-run offense.
You lost 3 offensive linemen.
You lost the 4th, at least for a little while, after yet another mugshot episode.
Your new, 1st-year starting QB has attempted all of 12 passes and completed 2 of them...to the other team.
You lost your best RB.
You other returning RB is the fastest player in the SEC...at running out of bounds.
You return the bulk of your defense...one of the worst-producing assembly of "talent" in your "storied" history.
You have a new defensive coordinator...considered a step up from Ted Roof, but a new system your idiot, lawless players have to learn.
You have to play Clemson, LSU, Arkansas, Georgia, and Alabama. All of them have better talent and more depth than you.
You also have to play Mississippi State who has given you a very hard time over the years.
You also have to play Texas A&M who has about the same talent you do, but 95% less criminal record.
And you think you're going to win more than six games?
Good luck and happy pickin', boogs...
