The QB competition should be interesting with the deepest room in memory. One question remaining is will there be a surprise in the Spring portal? While I doubt it as it appears that we have cast our lot with Rickie Collins, however, with Coach Fran you never know.

I may be wrong but I believe the offense staff is far better than it ever was under Dino and, if I am correct, the QB evaluation is much better, meaning Collins may be the real deal. If JW beats him out that will be an impressive feat. Either way, we might be better off than we think..
Whoever is the starter will benefit from an improved oline and a wealth of receivers, Not to mention that both RC and JW have had excellent coaching and experience practicing against the ones over the last year.
Now, neither is Kyle McCord, however, both are running threats, which has to help. I have to believe that Nixon can make hay with that attribute.
With a few more key portal additions, especially those with multiple years of eligibility remaining, the 2025 roster could be stronger than 2024. We are also likely to have some pleasant surprises from our incoming class and redshirts. 
It also goes without saying that our special teams will be better than last year, if only because they can't be worse.
I freely admit that I am a hopeless "glass half full" guy. Happily Coach Fran is making this view less uncomfortable.
A disappointing 2025 season is not a forgone conclusion. Stay tuned.
