Bold Prediction: 3 OL make all PAC12, we average 190+ rushing yards / game.

Defense:
Most surprising player: Kenneth Crawley
Most disappointing player: Josh Tupou (wears down come conference play)
Bold Prediction: Nate Bonsu doesn't miss a game all year. Polk gets over 5 personal foul penalties this year.

If Polk wasn't hurt most of the year he gets that easily. But I also wouldn't consider that bold.:lol:

So Daah was the most pessimistic by a mile, but even he wasn't close.

Hey now, I believe my 3-9 prediction deserves commendation.

Wow. aside from the game predictions, I was pretty good except for the real whoppers of Juda Parker and top 40 class :lol:

I just realized you could argue at least 25 guys for most disappointing player.

5-7

I'd love to think we could win six games this year, but looking at how young we are, I just don't see it. It'll be fun to check back in a a few months to see how everyone's predictions turn out. :thumbsup:

Yikes.

 

[Tea Rex]

Yikes.

At least you picked the games that we were most competitive in

Lets get this on the record now

Overall Season Record: 5-7

CSU: 30-21 W
Sac St: 35-20 W
@Fresno: 23-40 L
@Wazzou: 23-38 L
UCLA: 27-20 W

@Arizona: 20-17 W
Washington: 13-48 L
Utah: 20-30 L

Offense
Most Surprising Player: Nick Kasa
Most Disappointing Player: Will Oliver/Tony Jones
Bold Prediction: Tony Jones will not be our leading rusher

Defense
Most Surprising Player: Derrick Webb
Most Disappointing Player: Doug Rippy
Bold Prediction: Our secondary plays worse than last year (minus Goodson/Espy)

Other
I think we'll see a growing sentiment that either Eric Bieniemy or Greg Brown are not the coordinators we need (mainly looking at Brown).
I also think we'll see PRich play, and we will have wished that he just sat out the season.
And due to the late season collapse, I think Embree will start 2013 with a warming hot seat

Feel free to add more

Hat-tip to slider for pointing me here, with camp closed now i need something to read.

With the exception of my record prediction, I'm a genius:lol:

	Hope	Likely
CSU	W	W
Sac St	W	W
Fresno	W	L
Wazzu	W	W
UCLA	W	L
ASU	W	W
USC	L	L
Oregon	L	L
Stanford	L	L
Zona	W	W
Washington	W	L
Utah	W	W

That's right - it's feasible that we could overachieve this year and get to 9 wins. Meanwhile, back in the real world, I'm expecting 5 or 6 wins; 7 would be a hell of an accomplishment for these players/coaches.

lololololololol

nice work on the coordinators, couple of other nice calls here to:

2 - 10 with a crap recruiting class and Embree and co are scrambling.

[CVilleBuff]

Quick count had 17 with predicted CU bowl eligible (6-6) or better. 12 had CU with varying degrees of losing records (and the vast majority of those were 5-7).

probably a sign some of these folks need to come back down to earth.
