Same team as last year, but with a tougher schedule. Easy to forget we needed a miracle to win that Rutgers game last year and lost that head scratcher at home to Minnehaha and the boat rower. Could have easily lost that Kansas game too.

Need significant personnel improvements, a DC with a clue, and more depth to take the next step, but it’s been fun being relevant in football. 2026 recruiting class looks way better than what we’d been getting since Bert got here, which is a good start. Let’s go clean up in the portal too.

Hank Beatty had a good year, other than that we didn't have a game breaker on offense. We missed Patrick Bryant. Even tho we were supposed to have more speed than ever, we need speed and athleticism.
I believe we led the nation with 5 game winning drives last year. The odds of a repeat were slim and none but the 2nd half collapse in Seattle and the game in Madison shouldn't happen with the experience we had coming back.

Spotsbook Review, whoever they are, predicts us vs Vandy in Nashville, but they also have Nebraska going to Tampa vs 6-6 Tx State.

We'll have a new qb next year and it may be a good opportunity to look to a new OC to go with a new DC.

Going to have a new OL next year and many new parts on D.

It will be a very interesting offseason.
