Looks like Deace doesn't think much of ISU's football team next year.

Can't say I disagree with his prediction for our record next year. The schedule gets tougher and we don't know who our QB will be.

I can't disagree either. Barring major improvement I think with that schedule even 3-9 is going to be a struggle.
I think we get more than 3 wins next year. I don't know about a bowl game, but mroe than 3. And I would be shocked if Michigan was in a BCS game, I think you need a defense to get there.
Schedule is a bugger next year.
UNI - win
Iowa - winnable
UConn - winnable
Texas - loss probable
Baylor - loss strong
Missouri - loss probable
ATM - loss strong
TTech - loss probable
Kansas - win
OU - loss strong
OSU - loss strong
KSU - winnable
That projection puts us from 2-10 to 5-7 if we pick up the winnable games.
The critical questions are:
Will the defense continue to improve? I say yes - in a major way
What will our QB be like? Crap shoot here...
Will the offensive line get the job done? - yes, if Osemele is back
Will the receivers learn how to catch a football? - the new ones will.

Won't matter if we have Jesus playing QB, if we don't get consistent blocking up front and more help from our WR position - we'll be sitting home in December yet again.
I wouldn't go that far. I'd say QB, WR, DL and play all need to improve, and we need to find capable replacements at safety.
I think we'll do better than 3-9, but I'd be shocked if we make a bowl game. That schedule is a bear.
I would put everything I have on the over for us.
So he thinks Michigan is going to change coaches and in Harbaughs first year, he willbe in a BCS bowl game? Riiiiiight.

I hear Jesus's throwing motion sucks, and he's a product of his system.
I'm more perturbed by his basketball prediction than his football one.

No doubt!
I like Deace, but his predictions are worth about as much as toilet paper. Used toilet paper.
Everybody realizes that aside from UConn (a big freaking east school) this bear of a schedule is here to stay every year? It's not going to get any better. If everybody is throwing in the towel to even get to a bowl game in CPR's 3rd year...man, we are in trouble. I'm not saying I'd bet my house on a bowl game but the pessimism around here is pretty thick.
