I’m at 7-5 as well.
Too many question marks on the offensive line, receiver corps, new players via the portal, 2 new coordinators, and freshmen in the 2 deep.
Defense could take a big step forward (it quite literally can't be worse than 2022), but offense could take a step back.
Also, I'm not out on Pittman, but last year left me with a pretty sour taste in my mouth. Too many games where we came out flat and looked disinterested, unprepared, and poorly coached (Missouri State, Liberty, Mizzou), and a few where we let our foot off the gas and let the opponent back into it (Ole Miss, Kansas). He has a penchant for playing up or down to our level of competition, so I fully expect us to lose one we shouldn't and win one we otherwise shouldn't. I'm hopeful he's learned from his mistakes last year and course corrects. This year will tell the tale of whether he's redoubled his efforts or whether he's gotten complacent and stagnant after his post-2021 contract.
It'll probably even out at 7-5, which — given this program's last decade — is fine.

I think we beat OM, Miss St and Florida to finish 9-3.
