Here's some cliffs notes version of how he projects BYU this year.

Offense: Expects QB play to be improved from last year. 8 returning starters. Receivers more experienced. OL can only be better (rated #118 in Rush YPG LY). Expects improvement to 27.6 PPG which isn't great but would be top half of NCAA.

Defense: 6 starters back including 4 of top 6 tacklers (3 of which are in secondary). Expects our secondary to be improved and our LBs to continue to be solid. Seems to have concerns about the DL (the interior DL in particular) and being able to generate a pass rush. Thinks we will be improved talent-wise, but the numbers might not show that due to having to face some very good offenses.

Special Teams: Expects a drop from last year due to losing Rehkow, but this is actually our highest rated unit according to his unit rankings

Overall: Stock Market Indicator has us at +4.0 which would typically indicate improvement from last year. However, he doesn't think we were nearly as good last year as our 5-7 record, so even though we may be improved talent-wise it might not be reflected in our final record. Only 1 of his 9 sets of power ratings have us in a bowl game. Has us finishing 14th in the conference (out of 16) ahead of Arizona St and Houston. 4th toughest SOS in conference doesn't help. He doesn't project actual records, but based on his preview I would guess he has us pegged for a 4-8 finish.
