There is no question that from a talent level, the Cats are moving up. We are improved significantly since Stoops has taken over. IMO this may be the most talent and depth we've had in over a decade, probably longer.
But other "down" SEC teams also have great talent... most still have more than we do.
Then there is the huge ? at QB.
And will our coaching staff improve its in game coaching?
It's really hard to predict what this team will do this year. Things could finally come together and we might have a QB emerge as a great one and a really good season could result. But it is just as possible that in spite of the talent, we could go backwards this year.
I know the Fl game is a big test in the swamp, but I think we'll get a true feel for where this bunch is during the very first game.
