We haven't looked elite against the run. A strong balanced attack will give us some trouble. But... if the offense and special teams can at least keep a field position advantage, and not give anybody a short field, I think we can strongly limit how many points are scored against us.
If the offense continues to improve, and we can generate some turnovers, that will keep us in most games and give us a chance.
That said, our schedule is still brutal. Anything over 6 wins has got to be considered a good result. Win 5 at home, maybe 6, beat Vandy, find a way to win one on the road, go Bowling, keep as many good players as possible, recruit well, a sprinkle of good ones from the portal... and have an awesome 2025. Easy-Peazy.
