USAToday's Paul Myerberg predicting team records

[SoFlo All Day]

To play devil's advocate, maybe we can factor out some of the inopportune fumbles that Adams and Mack had last year now that they're gone....

[JTrue]

If everyone stays healthy, I don't see it happening. But here's a question for you. What is our record last year with no Adams? No Mack? No QF?

Historically, our receivers haven't fumbled much because they haven't caught the ball when it was thrown to them. But point taken.

That's a good question, to which I assume you are about to tell us the answer...

[JTrue]

I'll give a you hint. We do the worst with no QF.

I believe that. Surely there are structural issues with the QB position, and other backups (or lack thereof at the QB position) that influence those numbers, and perhaps that's part of your point, but we've drifted a bit away from question if so.

I'm not sure I understand your post, but I don't think that it is the point JTrue was trying to make. Unless I'm totally missing the boat here.

Could be any of: Temple, Cincy, Houston, Tulsa, UCF. New coach's, lose two out of the three most explosive play makers on the team. It could easily happen. I have us going 11-1 though.

Agreed. We might have the talent to run the table, but so did Houston last year, and they managed 3 conference losses, with 4 losses overall in which they were probably favored to win. Would be really disappointing though not to win the conference this year, as this is probably the most favorable situation we've ever had, with any semi-difficult (on paper) opponents at home.

Only problem with that analysis is that those nonconference wins were huge and took something away from Hoston (perhaps their highs were too high for them to handle). Looking at our out of conference schedule I don't see that problem occurring.
