Sadly I think quercus is right about the Mounties. We lost a few important parts to transfer after Holgersen left. And we had some holes in the lineup after this year's class to begin with. I'm interested to see if the new guy can just get them organized and put a decent style of football on the field. Even if he does that's a 6-6 team at best I think.

The Badgers? We'll see. Coan is still the leading QB coming off the spring camp. I think Chryst wants to let Mertz season a year. He may be the best QB prospect we've had in school history but he's still a freshman and this is still Wisconsin. I wouldn't expect to see him a lot but you never know... Coan was very bad last season when he played. Defensively on paper we're a wreck. But I actually expect them to be better than last season. There are some very talented young guys on that side of the ball and I think they'll beat expectation. On the minus side we've got probably the hardest schedule in the BIG 10 this season.
