I believe the 2015 squad played 4-5 ranked teams and ended with a team that made the playoff the year before.
The 2016 season opened with a top 5 playoff team the year before (OU was BAD in 2023) plus we had top 5 Louisville with the Heisman winner plus a few other ranked teams
I don’t know if these teams were really bad back in the day or we’ve been down so long but, with the exception of OU, early 90 Coogs would be licking their chops and making plans for the CFB with that schedule.
We weren’t at the bottom last year and we are bringing in a new coach, that actually has a pulse, plus we have a senior quarterback that is a top NFL ptospect
If by early 90 you mean 1990, then yes. 1991 the bottom fell out, and it would have been could the coogs go .500 with only the die-hards thinking the over… Though many would have been positive going into that 91 season I think. Kansas and Iowa St being pretty positive for UH wins, and K State and AZ were beginning upswings so tougher.
From 1991 to 2001 we were lousy to horrible in 9 of those 11 years…Worst period in our whole history, thank you Dana Dimel and Kim Helton…we could not ,and did not, beat hardly ANYBODY…Kim won 4 games his first 3 years…F o u r…Anyone who wasnt there does not know what BAD is…We who WERE there? We do…
How many offensive lineman return from last year? Fritz brought in a number of new OL but how good are they?
I’m curious to see how well the o-line plays with all the new o-linemen. If they can’t run block or protect the QB, people will complain about Smith’s inaccuracy or how our RBs can’t run the balll.
I really hope some of these OL recruits turn out to be good since next year will be equally tough with so many seniors departing from the o-line.
