Ok, I’ll state the sarcastic obvious…win 6+ games.
But for real, In your opinion what absolutely must happen for this team to get to a bowl game?
For me, the defense has to be dominant. I don’t know if this will happen, but I do know Muschamp’s teams had no idea where they were on the field. I think we have a couple of players who haven’t played anywhere near their capabilities in Burch and Pickens. Beamer seems very pleased by watching his defense so far. The Holtz and Spurrier turnarounds happened because of solid defensive play. If there is an area I think we could be surprised by as fans…it might just be that defense. It can’t get worse, but after watching talent go undeveloped under Muschamp…perhaps we have better talent on that side of the ball than it seems.
I still predict 4 wins. But hearing good things about our defense gives me a bit of hope. You can cover a lot of weaknesses with a good defense.
