Where are people getting the WVa is soft narrative? Lots of pundits are predicting Holgerson to have the top offense in the country. With our defensive backfield and lack of a true nose tackle for Pruitt's 3-4, the mountaineers will easily hang half a hundred on us.

It’s our idiot optimist fans who don’t actually watch other teams play. They just hope a team is soft and repeat what they heard Uncle Randy say at the bait shop yesserdee.

UGA’s secondary was their weak link last year, which was pretty common knowledge since they were shredded a few times. I don’t think UT can match up with UGA’s talent at RB, but I do think UT has the edge at receiver again this year. I said the same thing before the game last year. If UT wins it’s because they utilize Callaway and Jennings (this year, obviously not last year), but I believe the issue again will be UT’s QB. People make a big deal about Chubb and Michel leaving, but I believe UGA’s offense won’t change much. Stuff the run and make plays through the air will be the recipe to beat UGA just like last year.

We won’t be able to run the ball or pass protect with our OLine. Can’t win games this way.

I think we are a couple years away from being winning team. I'm less optimistic after watching the spring game. We just don't have the talent to compete yet. I think we will finish 5-7 this year. I hope I'm wrong.

It's a post spring ranking. Who cares? We're obviously going to be ranked low after our worst season ever.

I'm still not sure how WV is ranked so high. Their defense was atrocious last year and somehow they expect it to improve. Will Grier and their WR were the only redeemers.

2017 FBS (I-A) College Football Team Statistics Leaders for Total - ESPN

^Going off last year, WV's total defense ranked at 109th, ours at 79th. 30 spots higher.

However, West Virginia at 17th for total offense and Tennessee at 125th.

Seeing that offensivr rank makes me shudder. Hell we could be won some games if we were in the 70s
