What's interesting is how important those "ifs" can be? Imagine if just one of the following were to have happened.
-If Baker catches the two TD drops, we may go 7-5 this yr. And that's not factoring in other WR drops.
-If the O-line holds their blocks just a second longer, we'd go bowling this yr.
-If Stoops managed the game just a little bit better, we go bowling this yr.
-If the QB play is slightly better, we go bowling this yr.
-If Eliot adjusts against UL's running QB, we go bowling this yr.
-Then again, if we did any of these slightly worse, we'd go 3-9 this yr.
So, there is a little reason for optimism. We return darn near everyone.....plus extremely needed depth......so, it's reasonable to expect a little improvement at least.
