From this story, the author makes some bold predictions.  

USF will take a step back in 2017. Everyone expects the offense to just keep humming along with Flowers back and three returning offensive linemen. However, assimilating players in the right spots and getting them to all buy in under a coaching change typically takes time. Charlie Strong knows how to coach ’em up on defense, but how involved will he be with the offense, and how long will it take for the new staff to get a read on what to do, against who, and when? I say the transition is not as smooth as many would have you believe. The first year of a new coach’s tenure rarely is.

Quinton Flowers will win AAC offensive player of the year. I know, I know, I just said USF will take a step back this year. But that doesn’t mean that Flowers won’t still go off from time to time. He’s got all the skills and experience to still make defenses pay. He’ll still put up more than ample numbers, and have enough wins to lock down POY in the conference.

D’Ernest Johnson will make everyone forget about Marlon Mack. Yeah, Mack was a special talent, but so is Johnson. He just hasn’t had a chance to show it yet. The 5-foot-10, 208-pounder has shown plenty of athletic ability as a dynamic return man, and now he gets the chance to be the main guy in the backfield. He’ll get every opportunity to make plays and gobble up tons of yardage, and won’t disappoint by going for more yardage than Mack did in 2016. Let’s set the bar at over 1,200 yards on the ground for Johnson in 2017 and set him loose.

I think they were just referring to the offense as a whole. Can still see a situation where the defense takes two steps forward and the offense takes one step back and still being undefeated.

Assuming we're healthy, we'll be undefeated going into the Peach Bowl. Anything less this season based on our schedule and talent level would be a disappointment/missed opportunity. You have to take c

If we are going to lose a game in AAC play let it be against a team from the West. That will guarantee that we are playing in the AAC title game. The goal this season is an AAC Championship and a Peac

It's all going to come down to the final weekend in Mouseville.  It will be very, very exciting!

Go Bulls!

QF winning Offensive POY is a bold prediction? I think all three are more than likely. Though I don't think we'll take a step back, not going undefeated would go against a lot of people's expectations.

Agree...I don't know that any of these qualify as "bold".

I actually like the term missed opportunity. It's hard too place undefeated/NY6 expectations on a new coaching staff, but with the talent and schedule plus the state of the American, it would definitely be a missed opportunity.

I'm a bit surprised that a guy who played the game expects the team to run the table.  Illinois, Houston and UCF will be tough outs even at fill strength.  

This team will not go undefeated.  That is incredibly difficult and unlikely.

Go Bulls!

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
