[QUOTE="TownieMatt, post: 1213400, member: 7941"] Agree. Expecting 8-10 wins with this roster (especially on offense) seems a little nuts. The biggest weak spot IMO is the receiving core. This is group that dropped so many passes last year that it became a running joke among fans. And all we've done over the offseason is lose our two best receivers to injury and graduation. Sure, under Lovie we'll run the ball more, but we simply don't have the OL to run people over for 60 mins. We ain't Wisconsin. We're going to need to pass the ball to get defenders out of the box. I think the key this season is to keep up the momentum from this hire and show improvement over last season. Six wins and a bowl should be the goal. Fans will want more, of course, but what's important in the long run is to keep excitement about the future high to help score victories recruiting trail. [/QUOTE]
