If we get to 7 wins next year I'll be thrilled.

If we're in the BE (or whatever its called, it will be a tougher schedule) and with all the replacements coming in, it might be a tough year for JJ. Either a new QB or Padron (if healthy) will be the huge question marks. It should be interesting.

When did he say this?

In the interview with Jeremy Bloom he mentioned some rebuilding but you can interpret that a lot of different ways.

When you have to replace two-thirds of the defensive line and the entire offensive line, that would qualify as rebuilding for just about anyone. It doesn't mean he's giving up on the season.

How about a bit of End Game Time Management! :shock:

Plus at least two wins.

Last time we graduated tons of players from both sides of the line was Bennett's last season.

Just saying.

We have targeted about 5 JUCO Offensive Tackles so that pretty well tells you what the Coaches are concerned about.

I think our whole team mailed it in from time to time after Southern Miss. I do not know why, but have suggested one possible reason was over confidence. When June came here he said he had to change the players belief from loser to winner. He and his staff have told them over and over that they are winners and champions, etc. I wonder if they got to thinking they were better than they are. What we have is a better than average D1 team. I do not think they will be much better next year and unless they play with focus, intensity, enthusiasm, speed, and power they can loose to any team on their schedule. No game will be easy and all games are winnable.
