I usually don't bet it either. With Boykin I'm always afraid of an injury. He played with a cast on his arm for a couple weeks last year. And also got hurt the year before that. I'm pulling for him though. It would be a good story. A player going from WR to a QB on the worst offense in the country to a QB on one of the best offenses in the country.
I don't think it will be as easy for TCU this year as it was last season. Coaches spend 9 months looking at game film trying to figure ways to defense a scheme. If TCU can stay ahead of the game like Briles does with his Baylor schemes, they will be tough again. But if they run exactly what they ran last year, they'll probably have a couple of losses by the end of the year. TCU's schedule is also much different this year. They played only 2 games out of the state of Texas last year. This year they play 5. TCU won those two road games by a total of 5 points. And that was against WV and Kansas. This year TCU has a much tougher out of state road schedule playing KSU, OSU, OU. If they can get through that gauntlet without a loss, more power to them. I don't think it will happen.
My view is TCU will be really good on offense with the playmakers and experience available. I also think the defense will be solid because of Gary Patterson. They were 18th in total defense last year and have six of the same guys back.
Do I think the Frogs will go undefeated. Absolutely not! I agree with GoSooners that the schedule will jump up and bite them.
On the road at Minnesota, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma will be very difficult to negotiate
without a letdown. Add in Baylor the last game of the season (right after the Oklahoma game) and you have a difficult task for any
team in the country.

USC is still one of the best deals in the books this year with their win total. I think they win at least 9. And if Sarkaisan can keep them focused and healthy they could win as many as 10 or 11. Their coach is the question mark, but with a good experienced QB, USC should be able to win 9 games in their sleep.
Damn Bdq, no love for Steele? Going to get my copy tomorrow, tons of good info man.
Saw they closed your other thread, u might want to re think your over plays on Sparty & Noles?
Both squads will regress this year in my opinion and its very unlikely either one gets to double digit wins.
Not to mention the hefty juice. -150 & -120 respectively

I think they will win 8 games, defense has to get a little better.
They might have the best player in SEC on that side of the ball in
Myles Garrett, this guy is an absolute freak on the field.
Schedule is brutal, people down here have been talking sec championship maybe
I can guarantee that's not going to happen.

FYI, USC's name brand is still considered stronger than TCU's, so all things being equal Kessler would have a chance if USC won 10 games. Sark has won in the dog role up at Washington, but is there enough depth at USC to carry them to 10 wins considering all the years they were penalized (unfairly in my opinion).
TCU will likely win more games, but I'm curious if losing their elite DC will impact them. I know their HC is heavily involved, but I think their just retired DC was vastly underrated by the casual fan.
