Updated Predictions: overall record

Just a note, there were I believe 3 first downs on the final drive, and with the rule change this year, that means maybe 1+ minute less of playing time (a rule change which I do not like, but that doesnt matter. ). Not a criticism of your post, just adding that.
Despite what I’ve been saying elsewhere on the board may make you think, I think we win 6 this year. Iowa game has historically meant nothing. BYU, cincy, WVU, OSU, Ohio, Baylor are all winnable games. We overreacted to week 1 let’s not overreact to week 2. I still stand by that Noel sucks and Campbell is useless to listen to in his public comments. We will be the best defense in the league again. **** we could even beat Texas, just cuz they beat Bama doesn’t mean they’ll get up for iowa state, especially in Ames
It is actually embarrassing.
They said that when Prohm was coaching the men's basketball team. I am still staying with my 2-10. Hopefully, we will beat Ohio.
A loss to Ohio we would need to shut down this site for a few days.
The new clock rules will end up helping teams like Iowa and KState, who want to play ball control offense. If we can get a run game going, we'll be in very good shape. It will be "boring" football, but it's less boring if you win.
Of the four new teams I think UCF and Cincy are going to win their share of games and BYU and Houston could take some lumps. Not saying we're better than Houston/BYU, who knows what we'll look like still at this point.
Same thing with next year's four actually, two looking like they'll win a lot and two looking like they could struggle, although I think Arizona could turn a corner at some point.
I'll trade you one of the road games at the newbies for the TCU game and you've got a deal.
To be honest I think the talent at receiver is weak but that's where timing and deception should be coming into play.
I'm sticking with 5-7 defense is better than I thought it would be and the offense is slightly worse, I'm leaning more towards 4 than 6 now just because a lot of the teams picked low in the big 12 look much better than anyone thought (Cincy, Kansas).
I got wins over Ohio, OK st, BYU and we pick up another somewhere

5-7. Less disappointed with the loss than I was seeing the things that got us there. Special teams was mostly good and the O-Line played a little bit better. Offensive design and play-calling were atrocious and although Iowa's defense is stout I think it's clear we don't have athleticism or skill up front to run (consistenly) outside the tackles. I also thought Heacock was too vanilla early after mixing up the defense against UNI.
My hopes for the year are continued development and to see some offensive evolution. Nate needs to get away from the **** Manning did as it's simply a terrible offensive scheme. We don't have the talent or athleticism to beat teams playing horizontally.
