A good season in 07

[ronniep]

Does the football team have a chance to be better than last years ?

[ThisIsWhyImHot]

There is always a chance. I hope we win atleast 1 or two more than last year.

Looking back at the 2005 season you never know what can happen.

[kcvols1]

Yes. Especially given the fact that EVERYONE will be picking Cal to win the opener again. I suspect that we will get enough contribution from the frosh receivers to contend for the SEC title... but we will drop a game or two.

FL in the swamp, and/or

Bama at Tuscaloser, and/or

South Carolina in Knoxvegas.

Georgia is good; they will struggle with losses in personnel, though Stafford will be a bright spot... but not against UT.

Arkansas will totally fold. They better hope McFadden really is Chuck Norris. He will have to win games singlehandedly because, by all outward appearances, their team/coaching chemistry is in the crapper.

I'd say 9-10 regular season wins. We can win the East if we fill in some holes. I think it will be a real "feast or famine" year.

Strengths:
QB
RB
TE/HB/FB
LB
ST

Weaknesses:
WR
OL
DL
DB

The weaknesses aren't bad, just very green. Plenty of talent in those areas, just not much experience.

If everything breaks right for us, we can win 11 games. If we just play to our potential, I say 9 games. If we win 7 games or less, Fulmer is a lameduck...

[ronniep]

FL lost alot of players on defense

[hvwarrior58]

They lost a ton on D but still have talent at every position. We should win, though.

We should be better this year. We have some holes to fill, but the schedule is more favorable than last year's.

There's no LSU on the schedule...Florida must replace a ton of starters on defense...we get Arkansas, Georgia, and South Carolina at home.

This is a schedule that should give us a great chance to get to Atlanta.

There's no reason why we shouldn't win atleast 10 or 11 games.

There really isn't. Against the teams in the SEC with the same talent level, we have more experience. With the teams below us in talent, we have MORE talent. If we dont' win 10 regular season games, Fulmer has officially, 100%, lost it.

[Fine Vol]

Watching other teams be successfull after changing out coaches puts extra preassure on CPF.

[ronniep]

Do you think if he does not win atleast 9 games Fulmer will be in trouble ?
