So I went to my local grocery store tonight, headed down the beverage isle, and I couldn't help but notice that once again the South Florida Kool-Aid stock was completely sold out due to a massive Phil Steele purchase & drinkfest once again. I didn't even think they would bother stocking it this year, but rather just ship it directly to him in June.
In all seriousness, I'm just not seeing why he's so high on them yet again. To me, they look like another 7 win team and minor bowl bid. Sure they will be improved on the field in the 2nd year of Skip Holtz's schemes, and BJ Daniels can't possibly be worse. The addition of Darrell Scott at RB is big, and getting 2 receivers (AJ Love & Sterling Griffin) back from injury will help. The OL has some question marks again while the D seems good but not great like usual.
Last year's 8-5 record to me was a fraud. Wins over Stony Brook, Western Kentucky, Florida Atlantic, and Rutgers don't exactly strike fear into most. They're definitely an improved team this year, but they weren't 8 wins good last year anyway, so it really leaves them in the same vicinity again.
Anybody else have thoughts on this team?
