We have many fewer gaping holes than we had been accustomed to, but we will still only be as good as our weakest link. Those questions are still there at NT and OT for me, along with depth at a few positions. If we avoid injuries we could be pretty good. If we get hit with injuries in the wrong positions, we could flail. We've built depth like we've not seen sinc early 2000's at some spots, but not at all. Avoid some key injuries, and we could see as high as 9-3. Lose some OL, and we are not going bowling.

True freshman with highest impact: Israel Antwine

Bold prediction (positive): Colby Pursell is a Freshman All-American

Bold prediction (negative): We look back at the season and wonder what if because 3 of the 5 losses are close games that we lose because we get worn down due to depth issues on the lines.​

Technically right, but Worthington wasn't very good
Spot on
Wrong - Montez was 6th in both yards and TDs in P12
SPOT ON!

Mine were not bad until the last one. Really bad.

Sadly not even close to my record prediction and Winfree couldn’t shake the injury bug.

The rest were fine except the bold predictions. Wish we could’ve capitalized against a bad USC team this year. I will take a moment to appreciate that my bold negative prediction came true against Oregon State.

Aside from the obvious W/L record, the thing that upsets me about mine and many of the posts here is that Juwann never really got a chance to showcase his ability due to the injuries. Hope he makes a splash in the bowl he was invited to and gets a combine invite. Otherwise glad that McMillian proved my negative prediction wrong, he did wonders considering the line was pretty poor.
