Check Bobby Petrino’s year 2 stats anywhere he’s ever been.

Louisville added 2 wins over year 1 (11-1)
Arkansas added 3 wins in year 2 (8-5 from 5-5…note in year 3 they won 10j
Missouri State added 3 wins (8-5 from 5-5j

Hogs won 7 last year.

Once his QB understands the offense….it gets good. Not saying Taylen Green does…but if he does…

BMFP isn't the HC. We have an offensive line coach as our HC.

That graphic is for NFL players. This is the graphic for college players. Clemson has three in the top 10.

Sam isn’t coaching the offense and has said he’d rely on advice from Petrino on the head coaching decisions. If the offense fails it’s on Bobby.

Well, you certainly own them right now, having embarrassed them last year on their home field.

So yes, you have scoreboard.

Will that change this year? I doubt it.

I just don't see the Sooners beating the Vols at Neyland this year.

With Tennessee making the blue chip list being bandied about the other day, and not even being in ESPNs top 25 (insanity), I would put my money on them exceeding the expectation that they're not a top 25 team.

With all that talent, they're a shoo-in to be ranked at the end of the year. They could very well make the playoffs.

Not expecting this but if State can somehow upset Arizona State in Starkville in Week 2, they could be 4-0 when Tennessee comes to town a few weeks later.

Now granted, they may not win a single game in October and November. But if somehow State hit on the portal additions, the schedule in September has an element of interesting to it where State MIGHT could have a nice start.

All that said, they could just as easily lose to USM or NIU and then be totally irrelevant for the third year in a row.

South Carolina should start hot. Schedule is back-end loaded, but the front half is extremely manageable.

That’s cute, your willing suspense of disbelief makes you look like you have a room temperature IQ… you should work on that.

I think OU has a nice season. Beats Texas and Michigan.

I have heard many people say Michigan is young team and that couldn’t be further from the truth …. The beat four ranked teams with wins over Ohio State Bama and Notte Dame and I think they finish winning last 6 games … they do have a freshman 5 star qb but their OL is mostly upperclassmen and same with dline . Wt are young OU will need to play well to win.

Stop saying South Carolina. We do way better when nobody expects anything from us. We crumble under expectations
