@Arizona is not a trap game. It's a very tough game that I wouldn't be surprised if we are underdogs in. Anything more than 3 losses is a failure. @Oregon, @Arizona, and UCLA are the three toughest games imo.
Nah, Denker graduates and Arizona is green at QB next season, and I mean, bad.
I don't think they have a QB on roster that has taken a collegiate snap, not 100% certain on that though.
And with Carey most likely entering the draft, they have some shit to figure out.
I actually think that ASU home game following our game at U0 will be more difficult. We haven't beaten Sparky in a long fucking time.
ASU loses 8 starters on defense and 5 on offense. If Bradford goes pro thats 9 on defense. Offense they lose Grice, Coyle & two OL. I don't think they've recruited well enough in past years to expect more than 7-8 wins at best. Their last class was good and this one will be good.
Arizona has recruited decently under Rich Rod but they still have to replace the QB, probably Carey and who knows the status of the WR who tore his ACL in spring. Their defense definitely improved but has to replace 5 starters.
Stanford at home may be tougher than @Arizona. Stanford does lose Gaffney, Yankey, Skov, Murphy notably. But they have recruited very well in recent years. We will be favored in that game.
