New here but I share a lot of your concerns. My biggest concern is that last year’s team had a ridiculously easy schedule – maybe the easiest in the Big 12 – and they couldn’t figure it out. I get the games were close. I get that people can use the excuse if they had a better offense, they would have won more…but they still lost to a couple bad teams (Arizona and Houston) … and Arizona team that clobbered them at home. On top of that, they nearly p**sed away their game against Oklahoma State.
This year’s schedule is much tougher, with a lot tougher road games (including the opener vs UCLA). On that alone, I think 6-6, 7-5 is probably very real … with maybe even a losing season if things don’t click well one defense.
Utah could pull a BYU and surprise but I wouldn’t bet on it.
