They start with Miami, Texas AM, Arkansas, Boise - in the first 5 games. The new QB will struggle in the begining - get better as the season goes on. If they can get out of the gate, 4-1 (easier said then done). They'll be fine. The defense will give them a good shot in all 5. The defense is young, 6 returning starters, another 6 with a lot of playing time. The defense could be better next year if Golden stays and they can find a DL or 2 in the portal. The offense should be better, with the OL returning, RB's returning - just need a wide out (Hopefully Williams or a portal guy) and the QB to mature.
