So we’ve played two non-P-4 teams and an ACC team on the road. Given these performances and data points, have your season expectations stayed the same, increased or decreased?
I expected the team to win 7 games and this stretch reinforced that expectation. AK confirmed that he’s an upgrade in the passing game; mainly completing the passes that should be completed. Miller confirmed the expectation that he can contribute v the P4. The D is great as expected and GS will make confounding game management decisions. KM is great and Sam Brown is solid as expected.
The main reason why I don’t think we will be better than my 7 win preseason projection is USC. I thought we might be able to steal a win there but after watching them play 3 games, I don’t think it will happen.
In addition Illinois is not the Illinois of years past.
Your thoughts on expectations?
