I can't disagree because of the assistant coaching changes and the fact that the main coach is still here, but...
other than a generally accepted loss to OSU (though they have no generational talent in Harrison returning, a new QB, and a coach who absolutely has to win it all NOW; plus we get them at home), the rest of the games are winnable on paper. Other than USC, we generally out recruit everyone else by a mile. The talent gap with the other teams should be enough that we don't have to have the game come down to a Franklin coaching moment of insanity.
To his credit, I think Franklin knows who he has talent gaps with, hence the need to try to be clever and manipulate a win on the field against OSU and Michigan year after year (with zero to very limited success). With lesser opponents, he tends to stay out of it and lets the PSU talent eventually overwhelm the other teams. I think he will be able to do that with most of the games as the talent is there.
Now, maybe the new offense doesn't click. Maybe the wheels fall off the defense due to locker room chemistry (Allen seems like a bit of a "I prefer my guys" type coach) or scheme incompatibility with available talent. Either way, if Drew shows any improvement with the offense, we should be in most games.
