I had us at 5 wins, maybe 6. Best case scenario in my mind was 8, including a bowl win over what would have likely been a mediocre opponent at a forgettable venue. I saw QB, OL, and DL as huge red flags, and I wasn't particularly optimistic about any of them.

In fairness, I was contending with a pretty good case of BYUPTSD, having watched Oregon, Arkansas, Liberty, West Virginia, and Iowa State live over the past couple seasons. My belief level was largely impacted by some very sad experiences with some awful football.
