I will be happy with 9 or 10 wins, even  8, if we stop losing games due to boneheaded penalties at crucial times or poor play calling or clock management. I want to see improvement in discipline and focus on football with no outside distractions. 

I would expect missed assignments and busted plays the first year with new schemes and new coaches, especially early on. 

Mack Brown's first season was 9-3. However, the season was exciting with Ricky Williams won the Heisman. That led to the number one class in the nation.
 
A fun fact is that UT has had two successful coaches since DKR retired. That would be Fred Akers and Mack Brown. They both had a Heisman winning running back their first year as UT coach. I hope Sark can find a running back on the roster to make it three.

So many times you root for these guys and then never hear about them in life.   I’m glad to see some of them move on and do great things for their community.  Huff seems like a great person all the way around.

Question for everyone, who are the top 3 to 4 players on the roster that you're rooting for in 2021.  The guys that maybe don't get all the hype, have disappeared or who haven't quite lived up to their potential yet.

Mine would be:

Roschon Johnson - he may not be nearly as talented as Bijan, but he runs with everything he has all the time

BJ Foster - BJ had a rough 2020 and almost quit the team.  Not sure what was going with him, but Im really hoping he has a stellar 2021

Anthony Cook - Has never lived up to the hype coming out of HS, but does have all the tools available.  Not sure if he will be a starter next year (at least he isn't projected as such right now), but with a new staff he has the possibility if everything clicks for him.

Marcus Washington - the departure of Eagles opens the door for him to compete for major time.  He seems to have some chemistry with Casey, so I'm pulling for him to become this years breakout WR.  Added bonus, his success will shine a light on other STL area kids for recruiting and that area has some skill players.

One of my favorite players. He did whatever he had to do to help the team which is rare today. Most kids are "me, me, me, me!"
