I've no clue, really. I think surprisingly good and godawful bad are equally likely right now. There are too many unknowns to make a pronouncement one way or the other.
I think the defense will be improved again, but that wasn't really their problem last year.
We have plenty of very good WRs, but I'm not yet so confident in our QB. I like Jake Hubenak - he's a very likable kid. But I think Trevor Knight probably beats him out of the job. FR Nick Starkel is a longshot.
I think we have better RBs, but who knows what our OL will do? They can't be much worse. They'll have a new coach, so they might actually block this year.
I think most of us are happy to have a new OC. On the other hand that's a very short-lived position, which might or might not be telling. We'll see.
I'm not sure the number of wins is as important to Sumlin's future as not falling to pieces in late October. If A&M has a shot at the SECW in early November then I think Sumlin keeps his job whether they win it (admittedly unlikely) or not.

It will be an interesting season next year. The SEC West is the toughest division in college football and it is built on defense.
Bama, LSU, and Auburn have all suffered significant changes among the staff. It will be interesting to see how these teams fare during the transition.
A&M, Ole Miss, and Arkansas are the only teams to have a stable situation on the defensive side of the ball, which is pretty important in the SEC West.
