If we can run the ball we're going to win 8 games. The other 4+ will depend on whether we have big nuts and win the close ones. If we can't run - long year to say the least.
Not really overly concerned with anyone on the schedule. Our starters are as good as anyone (considering we have UGA and UA at home - home field makes a difference).
I'm glad Gus is calling plays. He was a high school coach is now making millions because he could call plays. He was idiot to ever stop calling plays.
We are a big momentum team. If we can use the defense to jump on teams and the run game to wear them down then its going to be a fun year.
Only other thing - injuries could be crippling. Pray we stay healthy.
Final Comment: It's football, America's sport. Who cares what happens - enjoy the season hope for the best. Good weather in November for the big ones at home - everything will be alright.
Unlike some other teams we aren't triggered by not winning a Natty in the last 40yrs.....

I don't get all the people saying this...
GUS DIDN'T STOP CALLING PLAYS BECAUSE HE WAS SUCCESSFUL
In 2014 we lost 5 with Gus calling plays. In 2015 we lost 6 with Gus calling plays. In 2016 we lost 5 with Gus calling plays.
THAT IS 16 LOSSES HIS LAST 3 YEARS OF CALLING PLAYS.
He didn't just decide to push out his protege and give up playcalling duties because we were winning...
The 2014 A&M game changed Gus. Gus lost his mojo in that game...and he hasn't been the same since.
For Gus to be successful officially calling plays again, he is going to have to find his mojo. It's something he hasn't seen since November 8th 2014.
And I say officially because while Chip may have called plays, he was calling from a handful of plays that Gus gave him ahead of time. All anyone needs to do to know this as FACT is watch Lindsey's offenses at Southern Miss and Arizona State. They very much resembled each other. And neither of those offenses looked anything like the offense we put on the field in 2017 and 2018. That was still the Gus Malzahn offense with a little more passing thrown in there.
