I held off on season predictions until the depth chart came out and to be honest still am not comfy with making a prediction but will go ahead.
UNI-win
iowa-win
Toledo-win
Kansas-win
TT-loss
TCU-loss
Baylor-loss
Texas-win
Oklahoma-loss
Oklahoma State-loss
Kansas State- loss
West Virginia-win
bowl game- win
I expect six wins this year, plus a bowl win. We could just as well start 5-0 and then only win one of the remaining games but we will get six wins. I like this team is they are fighting for a bowl game
To me the most important player this year is Lalk. We simply cannot sustain an injury at C and he has to perform. Nothing against Severs, I just think he is a year away and it doesn't look like we have anyone else to slide in there.
OL- I like that Taiese and Philbert should be ready to slide in in case of injury and I really don't think we miss much if they do.
WR- is as solid a starting WR corp as iSU has had in my lifetime. Backups are unproven but have iSu potential
TE- is serviceable and should be better blockers, which we have missed
QB- I am a Sam fan and it looks like Lanning and Rohach are still battling which is awesome
RB- by committee but it all starts up front inthe OL and I love the new attitude of having the RB/OL crew work together.
DL- I expect this group to be much improved but how much improved remains to be seen. Tucker is the key
LB- Looks to be much better on paper but have to prove it on the field
CB-Has always been a solid position under this staff and I expect the same but they will only be as good as the DL allows.
S- See above.
Stay relatively healthy and Rhoads keeps his job. Have multiple injuries and it could be a 3 win season again
