Deep down that’s in there, but I actually believe in these players and coaches way more than those Archived Message

in the past.
Luke Altmyer being a 3rd year starter who’s already been really good gives me confidence. We’ve seen those types of guys at other schools, and they usually ate us up. I feel decently confident that we may do some eating this year.
But certainly there are games like USC who that guy has us winning which could very easily be a double digit loss as well.  Previous Message that we lose both of the early road games to Duke and Indiana and the hype gets squashed before we even get any of the conference home games. But I’m sure it’s just 2002, 2008, and 2023 that won’t allow me to believe that we can finally have back to back good seasons. I so badly want it to be different this time! Previous Message
