People need to prepare themselves, this is gonna be a tough rebuilding year. I actually think this years team is better than last years but this schedule is BRUTAL.
our crossover mstchups include 3 of the top 4 teams in the west with Nebraska who is likely the favorite in the west along with an always strong iowa program paired with a veteran minny team lead by a 6th year qb.
Our defense should be really good this year, im talking like top 7 big ten type of good. DL and DBs are damn good and as long as LB stays healthy Powell and Jennings are good enough to get us by.
However, GS made a fatal mistake going all in on gavin and literally having the entire program riding on him. I get the thought process, land the high 4* kid and hopefully have your qb of 4 years and have noah kind of teach him this year. With that said, its left us no alternate option other than the portal if gavin doesnt end the year as the surefire answer to our qb issue. The qb position is a total disaster and you cant just look past that. If gavin by maryland, in his 12th start progress then im sorry but you hit the portal and grab a plug and play, theres an abundance. Its too important of a position.
I’m excited to see how things shake out with both the team and Gavin but I think it’s important we have proper expectations. This is the last year greg gets a pass at the qb position, if we go into year 4 and the position is still a mess that is completely and totally unacceptable and he will deserve every last bit of criticism.
