I'm gonna be the pessimist of the group brehs, I we go 9-4. 8-4 and then win a mid-tier bowl game.It's just hard without a QB (or a true freshman QB if Nkosi gets it), no matter how good our D is projected to be. On that note, Manny Diaz at all his previous stops has had a really good first season but then his defense has dropped off in the future years. Hopefully, pairing him with coach Kool will negate that problem and our D will be really good again, but just a point to consider before we crown ourselves.
I think 2018-19 is the first year we are TRULY back and will be in playoff contention....Nkosi will be in his second year, our freshman studs on offense and defense last year will now be in their 3rd seasons, plus the 2018 class will provide some much needed quality depth/starter minutes.
I'm just happy that I feel like I'm watching MIAMI football again, I'm excited even if we're not at the talent levels just yet. But its coming
