Odds are RU will not go bowling but its possible..ALOT of swing games: New Mexico, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Penn State, Maryland but RU would have to go 5-1 in those games or score a very unlikely upset in one of the very likely losses to the 5 toughest schools on the schedule. I just do not see RU going 5-1 in swing games athough the good news is 4 of them are at home. I think RU splits the closing two games of PSU and MD but will not win both. I see RU much more disciplined and looking like a team this year under Ash in stark contrast to the total disarray on the sidelines during the Flood era.
RU's best game will be Penn State. Its worst Michigan State. Its hardest fought win will be New Mexico. IMO this game will be very very important for the mindset of the team going forward, a loss could really mess with the teams confidence. Its going to be the game where I think the fanbase falls in love with team and what the Ash era brings to the table.
Michigan and Penn State will be legit sellouts but Iowa will fall slightly short. Illinois attendance will be sketchy for a homecoming game and it will rain alot during the Indiana game. Oh it will also be brutally hot for Howard.
