7-5 will be a major reach IMHO and I think we finish 6-6.
Why I'm Probably Right
The problem is the early schedule - Gus has traditionally not gotten his offense off the ground until October. Throw in a new QB and I imagine we limp into October with 2 or 3 losses. If we struggle with Gatewood up front and we switch to Nix, we're asking a freshman QB to start on the road in Gainesville and Baton Rouge, two extremely difficult places to win. As we get to later in the season, injuries may really impact our ability to win games we should win (Arky and OM) and now we're looking at a possible 5-7 or 4-8 season.
Why I Could Be Wrong
Gatewood might have a slow start but start showing out in the TAMU/Miss St and get enough momentum to roll into Gainesville that he generates a surprise W and possibly another in BR. If we can get back to JH with only 1 L in October and 1 L in September, I think it means we have a good chance at beating UGA.
Predictions:
Aug. 31: vs. Oregon (in Dallas) L
Sept. 7: vs. Tulane W
Sept. 14: vs. Kent State W
Sept. 21: at Texas A&M L
Sept. 28: vs. Mississippi State W
Oct. 5: at Florida L
Oct. 19: at Arkansas W
Oct. 26: at LSU L
Nov. 2: vs. Ole Miss W
Nov. 16: vs. Georgia L
Nov. 23: vs. Samford W
Nov. 30: vs. Alabama L
Tagging @ricedp105 and @L I G E R to get this party rolling to give their perspective from diametric opposite ends of the spectrum.
