1. Could be a distraction. Could be a non factor. Only 1 instance to compare it to, and a more talented TCU team for whom we were ill prepared, destroyed us.

2. Will he be a better passer, though? The Baylor quarterback made some absolutely outstanding throws into extremely tight windows.

3 and 4. Legit concerns re: the run game. Kalani has said we get both Moa and LJ back. I really like the idea of those two together as a one to punch, although the loss of pay Hertz. We have two weeks to come up with a remedy.

Honestly, I have no idea what to expect here. I think we are better but last year‘s precedent makes me think all bets are off. I like Jay Hill having 2 weeks to prepare with the athletes we have on defense.
