I think it’s about time and frankly, I can’t wait...
Being the highly objective and prognostication adroit individual that I am, I believe that Texas will win the conference and make the CFP. (No orange colored glasses here.) Once there, who knows?
I’ll predict a 12 win season but again, culminating in a CFP appearance.
Caveats:
Sam must stay healthy and we must remain healthy on the D, particularly among key players like Sterns, Jones, Roach, Ossai Coburn and Foster. We can afford to lose one or perhaps two for a game, but not many for multiple games.
I’m bullish for a few reasons:
> Sam is ready to lead this team to greatness. He has the “it” factor and the game has slowed down for him. Game planning for Texas, primarily because of Sam, will be a big challenge.
> The offense is simply loaded. The OL will be better and deeper, the running game should improve and the receiving corps is lights out. Then there are the playmakers like JW & JS. We are a DC’s nightmare.
> On D, I am buying into the speed and depth on the back end, and that is the game changer. If indeed we’re blessed with perhaps 8 strong DB options as appears to be the case, we will become an OC’s nightmare as well. I’m drinking the Koolaid.
> Chemistry & Confidence. I sense a cohesiveness that hasn’t been here in many years. Just the fact that Herman has made so many players available to the media, and so early, tells me that he has confidence in his players.
Might be a special year...
