I'm excited about this season, I hope one of the QB's can step up.

 

[Wildcat05]

Best Player on Offense: Rob Gronk
Breakout Player on Offense: (Hoping it's however is at QB) But realistically, Delashaun Dean

Best Player on Defense: Brooks Reed
Breakout Player on Defense: Devin Ross

Predicted Record (Overall and Conference): 8-4

Any other predictions: We beat ASU for the second straight year. And win a close one in Iowa. Our losses come to USC, Cal, OSU, and UCLA.

BTW, did everyone see that the Cats were picked 8th in the Pac10 Media Poll? What a load of crap.

I can't believe they were picked 8th either. Why is ASU supposed to be better? They lost their QB and their O-line is average at best. The UA has a solid corp of receivers and RB's and the best TE in the country. I think the Cats and Devils will have similarly ranked defenses. But UA's offense will give them they edge. UCLA being ranked higher is a bigger joke, they can't move the ball at all.

UA has the marginal edge in talent, but ASU has the much easier schedule.

I think it's going to be USC, Cal, one of the Oregon schools on another level with UO/OSU, UA, ASU, UCLA, and Stanford all right there. UW also won't be as bad this year.

I'd like to add a category to this discussion:

Newcomer of the Year: I'm going with Travis Cobb the JC WR. I think he will beat out Bug Wright for Mike Thomas' role.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

It appears I'm 1/1 thus far - Foles and Scott both set to take snaps next week. It's going to get real interesting around here if Foles can play considering the QB situation at ASU and the history there. Foles apparently shredded the UofA defense during the scrimmage over the weekend.

[TJ]

Best Offensive Player = Gronk
Breakout = William Wright

Best Defensive Player = Cam Nelson
Breakout = D'Andre Reed

7-5 overall
5-4 conference

Prediction: ASU will have no offense, which will lead them to many turnovers and 3 and outs. That vaunted defense they have been advertising is going to be too tired to play us on 11/28. One dimensional teams like ASU don't usually go very far.

I don't think there will be any surprises this season. We'll win the games we're supposed to win. We'll lose the games we're supposed to lose.
