The 2017 team should be vastly improved from the 2016 version, which conceivably could have gone 10-2 or 11-1 with the 2017 team taking their place. I don't understand this incrementalism thinking constantly seen on this board, where going from 4-8 to 11-1 is seen as impossible.
It appears we finally have competent coaches running both the offense and defense, along with a vastly improved S&C program. The players' attitudes are great, and this team has real talent. Wimbush is in his third year in the program, and if he's even half as good as advertised, he will be extremely good.
I will be disappointed with anything less than 10-2, and frankly I expect this team to be in the conversation for the playoff.
