re: Convince me Ole Miss can win 8 games

Returning best QB in SEC.
More veteran OL.
Older, more talented receiving corps. Defense should be roughly the same, but could be better thanks to Conner's return

-Had great QB, still have great QB
-veteran doesn't = better (- Tunsil)
-older doesn't not = better (- treadwell)
-"should be roughly" doesn't inspire confidence. - RK

I don't know what all you lost, but losing your best player on Oline and Dline along with your best playmaker at the skill positions doesn't doesn't make me feel confident you will really be better.
Those were the top 3 players in your unprecedented 13 class. Your 14 and 15 classes ranked 8th and 7th in the SEC, not top 5 in the nation. They lacked the star players that all of those 3 were.
You arent replacing those stars with the same caliber players (I know you have a top Fr LT coming in)

Returning QB with weaker team= worse QB
OL missing tunsil spells trouble=much worse
Receivers - treadwell= trouble
Conner us great but DL softer and weaker.

Your starters from last year that left masked the weaknesses at all those positions. The turds this year are on their own. Won't be pretty. 6-6 is about all they can hope for.
