O Line is going to be bad next year

We lost our best dump off pass catcher TE Cuevas

Grubb will be running those slow developing routes

Not sure how anyone thinks this is a good situation for any new QB to have much success.

9-3 would be quite the job by the coaches

In the playoff era preseason ranking is pointless. With the schedule bama has next year lose 2 or less and you are in.

Expectations are already on the decline around here. If we make the playoffs most years the sunshine pumpers will tell us we are unreasonable to want to run off DeBoer if he is without a title in 10 years.

We couldn’t afford cam Coleman so is what it is. If the top 4 remain healthy we are fine but if 2 of them get hurt it will cost us some games unless we figure out the run game in a big way.

Honestly in this portal system I think you will see a new philosophy develop in some schools.

If you got most the pieces spend and if you don’t have then save money for another year

This year we are going to have a new starting QB that has essentially zero experience. Maybe we are “saving” money for the following year where we stand a much better statistical chance of making a deep run with an experienced starter at QB.

Highschool recruits come in get paid something and mostly sit on the bench. In a year or two when they are ready for the big time they will hit the portal and leave. So they were paid and developed by one team and end up benefiting a different school for 1-2 years before leaving college.

CFB is currently moneyball where the teams reset on a yearly basis. With the system now you need to spend the available money on purely productive players for this season’s team without thought or concern for next season. Any guy that isn’t going to produce this year is wasting money and he will most likely end up in portal next year anyway.

Thats the largest transition of the current model. The old idea of the up and coming underclassmen getting ready and watching them grow is over. No one should waste any significant money on a freshman who isn’t likely to hit their stride until year 2 or later.


Bad news is what made CFB special was getting that one or two good classes and watching them grow up. You could predict if you would have a good year in a year or two based on how guys were developing or the other way as well. Soon nearly everyone will be a mercenary going to the highest bidder. Even the NFL will have more “continuity.”

Ty coming back would have given us best shot to win next year. I understand him not coming back but I hate it for team/fans. It’s rare for a 1st year starter to do great things over a long grueling season and Ty did much better with less help than most realize.

Deboer has zero reasons to worry. His contract is guaranteed for another 70+ million $$$ until sometime in the next decade. As long as he shows up and talks about the thin line between his team and the rest he will do very well for himself. The players will get paid. We have become Texas.

We won 38-0
Today we have found a way to flip the script. Today felt like that game however in reverse unfortunately. Nothing lasts forever
