I like the bowl prediction...Texas Bowl against TCU would be a great way to break the drought. Playing a rival would be great, even if it ends up being the New Orleans Bowl against NTSU.
Nice summation.
I think there are several freshman and new arrivals that will find playing time. We will need the depth during the longevity of the season.
I too like the prediction of 7-5. We might even slip in an extra one or two.
