Weâre replacing almost the entire o-line. If the replacements play well we could be better offensively. Not to mention, weâll have a new OC calling plays. Fingers crossed.
Defensively, I think weâll be improved with better coaching and depth. Initially I was concerned about the d-line depth with players transferring but I actually think Fritz upgraded by bringing in multiple transfers at the d-line and LB positions.
We sucked on offense and defense and scheme was a major factor in why we were so bad. I will take my chances on us being better just because we have a coach that understands teaching and has the ability to make in game adjustments.
Iâm am banking on better coaching. The portal pick ups and the JUCO will need to be incremental pieces. We do have some young guys that are hopefully ready to get their shot at the rotation like Shaw, Ndukwe, Jones, Bowie and Davis . Maybe Garth will be a part of it to go with Hunter, Jenkins, Lee and Dunn
I will say at this point, I am optimistic and realistic. UH appears to be getting better, but so is most everyone else. Anything above .500 and a bowl game I will consider a success.
