Superficial assumptions I’m making about our 2021 football team right now –
- With Harrison Bailey I think we’ll have one of the very best QBs in the conference this year.
- I’m assuming everyone on our roster is healthy.
- We’ll have one of the 5 best offensive lines in the conference.
- We’ll have at least one 1,000+ yard receiver.
- We’ll be near the top of the conference for explosive rushing attacks.
- We’ll be in the top 5 of the conference in defensive lines.
- We’ll be in the upper half of the conference for pass defense.
- All of our special teams units will be hot.
With that said, I’ve moved Missouri to the likely win column. The Tigers lost , among other players, their leading rusher, their leading receiver, and Nick Bolton. They gutted their defensive staff and brought in a new coordinator and a couple of new position coaches on that side of the ball. They’re starting over. In what passed for a spring game the consensus of the fans is right now they don’t have any receivers who can catch the ball. Apparently there was a high number of dropped passes. Their defense last year gave up over 32 points per game, 35 to us. If Josh has his offense working we should be able to score more than that this year. jmo.
