Next year should be interesting. As young as your team is, if you can bounce back from the injuries and decide on a damn QB, you should be much improved and competing for the north. NU returns a ton of players on both O and D but must find a QB. With no blowouts this season we haven't seen the backups get any real reps so who knows what's there? Mizzou will be the biggest mystery. They have a very talented backup in Blaine Gabbert, but it's hard to say how ready he'll be for the big time. They lose Daniel and Coffman along with the core of their D. I see them having a season similar to 06. Decent team, will make a decent bowl, but will not be killing people like they have been. ISU is still aways out, KU will be about the same, and KSU will be bottomfeeding, AGAIN!
Good analysis. Mizzou, IMO is going to fall harder than most think. Coffman, Daniel, and probably Maclin are going to be gone and the O will not be the scoring machine it is now. I doubt they'll be 6-6 since they play a complete pu$$y OOC, but they will not be anything near what they are now....
