Dud- Boise St and Hawaii I picked Boise St because I see them losing 2-3 games and the conference being up for grabs when everyone is picking them to win the conference. Picked Hawaii because I think they are going to lose at least 5 and probably more games than that. I really want them to not be bowl eligible so we can play in the Hawaii Bowl. SC, kick the living $#!+ out of the Rainbow Warriors please!
Sleeper- Aztecs! We aren't getting much national respect right now. People look at us losing our starting QB and RB and think we are going to suck. What people don't realize outside of San Diego is we are actually upgrading at QB with Katz over Lindley. At RB, I expect to get the same production as last year but just with a combination of backs. We are loaded in the backfield with a stable of RB's!

I don't think Katz is an upgrade over Lindley.
I do think Katz, Butler, Lockett 2.0, and Sandifer is an upgrade over Lindley, Lockett 1.0, Denso, and a cast of thousands.
Fresno State might surprise some people if the new coach could get them to play any defense whatsoever.
Wyoming is due for a wakeup call.

Homer J Simpson is in fact married to an Aztec. ;D Aside from that,yes I think Katz will be significant improvement from Lindley. Lindley was below 50% a with half the season gone.Part was his wr dropsy,but the rest was on him. Katz has proven himself in a tougher league throwing for about 65%, He is also more mobile.Dingwell might indeed step up and beat him out who knows. The running game is gong to be better if the oline sorts out. Last year Walter got hurt,Ronnie sort of closed down shop when his ankle became worse.Our field goal kicking can not nearly as bad. I think we will be more short pass,pound away team ball control. We still will have the long bomb potential . Boise will have a good QB in place by the time we play them,and I think it will be for the Championship. MY dud is likely Fresno,they have some players but it will take at least one year,maybe two to get Ruyters defense in place,which he will.Also the pistol does not work as well with better caliber defenses. |

I'm not asking the world of Katz. As long as he performs well and gets the ball in the hands of our WRs/TEs, we'll be good.

A QB's completion % in a pro style offense is going to be lower than that of a QB in a spread/run-and-shoot type of O. Also, his yards-per-completion numbers are probably going to be higher.
If Ryan had been throwing slants and 5-yard-out passes his % would have been higher.
Just sayin.

Very true, but Katz had a slightly higher completion percentage going against tougher competition while also playing in a pro style offense. |

Katz will be better because he'll have more talent to throw to, unlike Ryan had last year. Which caused him to force things too much.

Everyone's talking offense. I just want our defense to play four quarters/game. What's the saying, defense wins championships?

DUD: Boise-lose too much...

I think Ryan's poor accuracy last year had a lot to do with his confidence in his receivers. Lindley did not like to get hit, nobody does. However that accounted for rushing his throws whether he had good receivers or not. I don't know anything about Katz' toughness, but he'll finally give us the much needed QB mobility we haven't seen for 3 years. |

Having a day and a half to throw the ball will do that for your %. |

In the 2010 season he was one of the least sacked QBs in the nation. Granted it's not the end all indicator of having time. But, it's also showing he was no David Carr in his rookie year in the NFL. |

He wasn't sacked because eye got rid of the ball quickly but anyone who watched the games could tell he was under pressure a ton. |

But, it's not like his comp %% was any good with a lot less pressure and two NFL WRs. |
