How could anything less be considered a success? 7 home games. Don't play Indiana or Ohio St. (not only are these types of games losses, they crush morale).
Expectations should be:
QB: improved.
OL: Improved.
WR: Improved.
RB: Improved.
DL: improved
LB: improved
Secondary: Same or improved
Kicker: same or improved
Coaching: improved
Culture: improved
If we won 3 in conference last year, improvement across the board should net at least 4 conference wins this year. Then if we just go 2-1 out of conference against Cal/SDSU/Nevada, that's 6 wins.
I personally think we win 7, with 8 more likely than 6. If we beat Cal we're winning at least 8, IMO.
