So with the recruiting btching that is going on, and the complaining that at 5-1 so far in this season Mac has to do a hell of a lot better next season, I figured....what are we looking at?
We lose on OFFENSE
Appleby, Fulwood, Thompson
We lose on DEFENSE
Maye, Tabor, Wilson, Cox, Ivie, Davis, McMillan
That's assuming Tabor and Wilson leave early. Maybe Brantley goes early as well from Defense. Do we want to put Cronk down as a transfer now? (I'll hold off).
Yes, Defense takes a hit, but all starters on Offense return, and half of the Defense. Not losing a lot of numbers, so (experienced) depth should be an improvement.
We play:
MICH (in TX)
N. COL
TN
@KY
VAN
LSU
A&M
UGA (in JAX)
@MIZZ
@USCe
UAB
F$U
Other than MICH, I don't see any I'd put in as a L now. I do see 'possible' losses against LSU, A&M, and possibly F$U. The rest I see as very winnable with Mac's 3rd year And that's assuming no incoming freshman are asked to make an impact (depth on defense is needed), and we don't change staff (though I expect us to upgrade).
I see the season as anywhere from 8-4 to 11-1. Even at 8-4, if the product on the field has significantly progressed, I think I'll be ok.
That said, I'm more interested on how we finish this season. One game at a time.
