I think 8 or 9 wins is reasonable, given our schedule for next year.  Anything above that is gravy.

I'm concerned about the offensive line and how long they will take to come together.
Traveling to Maryland, even though they just fired their coach and brought in Locksley, could be a challenge that early in the season.  Maryland, even though they were 5-7, still has Big 10 caliber athletes.

The other question mark, of course, is linebacker.  Shy Cullen gives us a good experienced building block, and of course we are bringing in two 4-Star freshmen in Kpogba and Mikel Jones.  Don't forget, we also have Juan Wallace, Kadeem Trotter and Tre Allison who took red shirts this season.  So among those guys and Armstrong, that's at least seven candidates for the position.  We will be young, but we should have some talent there.

The O line is going to take a few weeks to come together.  Our offense is going to be vulnerable early to blitzes, I fear.  I hope DeVito can get his feet quickly, and I hope Amie gets some run, just as a change of pace running QB.  We have more projects on the O line.  They have the frame, but will they be strong enough?
