I think CU will struggle to win 5 games, let alone 8 games.
I see games AT Cal, against Georgia, AT Mizzou, AT Oklahoma, AT Nebraska as 100% guaranteed losses.
I consider the games AT Kansas and against KSU to be likely losses.
I am not at all thrilled with the prospects of another neutral site game against CSU and who knows what Texas Tech will do this year. Baylor and Iowa State are improved teams.
I.e. I would love it if Bohn would throw your 9 game requirement out there because there is only a snowball's chance in Hell that Hawkins will win 9 games this year.
I tend to agree with you. But here's the deal: Replace UGA with Northern Colorado and you have 7 home games against mediocre teams. Win just one road game against a highly depleted Kansas squad and there's your eight wins. That's as lazy an 8 wins as you could possibly find. 8 wins is fine if UGA is still on the schedule. Otherwise, I want 9 wins. No excuses. That's a full game less than what this jackass promised last year.
