In all honesty, why do most MSU fans think they will be BCS bound in 2012? I think your defense will be very very good, but your offense is losing some key players. If your offense is not very good this upcoming season, you all will be a player in the B1G, but not a significant one.
Not trying to be a homer, just asking a serious question.
Very true. I have heard Maxwell is supposed to be a better passer than Cousins. I just think a BCS is a lofty prediction...just like I think any U of M fan that thinks U of M will go to a BCS game has very high hopes.
We are facing a very tough schedule next year. I predict the coaching staff will do everything in its power to temper the fans expectations after having a such a successful season this year.
Although, if Michigan were to beat Bama and then Notre Dame I would start getting on the BCS/B1G Champs band wagon. That is ways off yet however.
We bring back most of the Oline and all our RB's. There are BIG unknowns at QB and WR but Maxwell has had 3 years to prepare for this moment.
The WR's we bring in will have a year under their belt with the offense, just not much actual playing time. I'm hoping the first couple games gives them a chance to start to gel.
We really don't know what we have at those positons, but you never know, sometimes great things happen when you are finally given a chance ( Fitz Touissant ).
If we become totally dependent on our run game and D, we will not do good. We need the pass to compliment the others.
We'll see, we have 9 months to discus it.
