This year is shaping up to be a riddle wrapped in an enigma. I usually have a pretty good idea of how our season will play out. Many of us knew what was coming last season… the FSU game was surprising on the heels of the UAB beat down, but not really a shock for many of us. We gave them all they wanted in 2020 and they didn’t learn their lesson about overlooking us. Much of the football world knew who we really were as was evidenced by our lack of movement in the polls relative to beating an ACC team.
2022 will see not only a tough schedule but a new coaching staff and a huge amount of player turnover. It is the kind of setup that screams letdown season and rebuilding year… then there is the Rich Rod factor. While Arizona went 8-5 in his first season there, all of his other stops were losing records in his first season. In fairness they were rebuilding jobs, but on paper so are we. That said, new signees are commenting that he plans to win now, not rebuild.
I really have no idea what this season will bring, but I am confident about our future.

I am hoping for the best in 2022, but really only have one item on my wish list. Let’s FINALLY bet Kennesaw State. Go Gamecocks!!!

All valid points King, however on this one I'd lean towards it's a rebuilding year. Too many unknowns going into the fall to call it a letdown - "It is the kind of setup that screams letdown season and rebuilding year"
