His 8-4 expectation looks correct. My 10-2 expectation looks like sunshine pumping.
I expected us to lose vs. Stanford (Stanford 24, USC 20). I expected a low scoring game. I expected the defense to play well. I expected a True Freshman QB to struggle against Stanford, especially in the red zone. I expected our O-Line to have difficulty in pass protection.
BUT, I had no idea...

- that our Wide Receivers are B level at best. (the exception is St. Brown, a True Freshman who has the potential to be great and will show flashes of greatness). I thought our wide receivers would be freaky good. Boy was I faked out. Unfortunately, the PAC-12 defensive backs will be able to box/double team St. Brown. Pittman & Vaughns are not great. Good but not great.
- We have ZERO tight end threat
- The crappy red-zone offense is here to stay - I don't think this will ever get fixed
- The O-Line is the same O-Line we had in the Cotton Bowl - very average, very injury prone.
- I expect pressure on the True Frosh QB all season long
- Our Offensive Coaching is very average and will not be able to dig us out of this hole.

- @ Utah or @ Arizona
- Notre Dame @ home
