Offense will more than likely be better than what Ferentz is rolling out at Iowa these days. I do expect the scUM D to actually hit a real drop off though, they've stumble into NFL Caliber DCs recently now they are moving back to a mere college level DC who's never been tested at the highest levels.

Whittingham and his assistants he's bringing all being pretty much exclusively west region guys makes for a potential interesting conflict. There are very different attitudes at play here from what they are used to at scUM. Though the play style on the field is similar it's a pretty big move...

I wouldn't be shocked if cultures clash and it does end up being a disaster. But with their luck they will be a stable 9 win team and maybe make the playoff like 2/5 years (being eliminated early)

A coaching change to someone who's known to be pretty clean gives the illusion that they are "doing something about it" which sadly too many people will buy

Miami Dline is good but it's not all world. Think their stats might be a bit inflated from feasting on a awful ACC slate tol. I agree it's ok the be concerned especially after the Indiana game but they are definitely stoppable.

Still completely ignoring that everyone at scUM was fully aware of Sherrones creepy dealings with women and said nothing until outsiders started making noise and it got to the point where they had to do something. Those are some great morals!

The roster situation will be interesting to see. I'm not sure Whittingham is a guy who brings guys who were on the fence to stay, think they are still gonna lose their fair share this time around.

This is mainly why they settled on him, he's more than likely to bring zero controversy and the higher ups there know it's going to take a long time to fix things after their recent fiascos. They coulda done worse but they aren't gonna be any better than the better pre cheating Harbaugh years

That was like 20 years ago now lol. And that was about the peak of the "didn't want to be there" era. He did get Utah to back to back Rose Bowls in 21 and 22 seasons. But those were both 3 loss regular seasons and Utah lost both of those games.

Halftime of this Minnesota New Mexico game they just called Ohio State and Cryami a "rivalry renewed" good old ESPN

They are now trying to claim over on The Fort that guys like Dillingham, Brohm and Monken were never even real candidates and Whittingham was their 1A/1B with DeBoer all along. So predictable

Yes I'm guessing whoever made this stopped watching at Halftime though

Schedule is rough next year I think anyone would have a hard time getting their current roster to the playoff in 2026. Don't think Willingham is a guy who's inspiring elite transfers just to come play for him. Best case for them for 2026 would actually be Underwood leaving and Dampier following...

So the HC OC and DC are all not gonna be heavily invested in recruiting? That's probably gonna work out well

OC had had good numbers the past 2 years, 1 at New Mexico and 1 at Utah....BUT I think a lot of that has to do with him having Devon Dampier who is a true dynamic running threat at QB that most MWC and Pac 12 Ds are ill equiped to handle. He was the OC at Syracuse in 2023 and that offense was...
