I was looking at our schedule and I really think the extra bi-week is going to set us up nicely..Back 7 will be a tough stretch but we should go into that KSt game pretty healthy and ready to do some damage..If we can beat ISU in Ames to get to 5-0, our season could be special..ISU road game is looking like it could be a similar to our 2017 game against Okie St where we put the league on notice.
Our toughest stretch looks like TT and OU in late season back to back road games. We get ISU after a home game with KS and TX at home after a bye and KSU..
All that to say is that if OU, TX, and ISU are who most people feel our the top 3 teams going into the league this year, we get all but OU at favorable times in the schedule..
Favorable schedule + 14-15 Starters + Key SR Transfers ( That should addresses leadership and locker room issues)..I know the QB issue is huge but if we had a decent Big12 QB returning we’d be looking like a Top 15 team..All the key indicators (except QB) are there...This should be a 9 win or better team. Get exceptional QB play and we’ll play for a Big 12 title. This is an important season as in 2020 this team will likely loose a massive load of quality players....
