Give one reason why you think Kelly will take the team to a BCS game this year.

Such as -- Coach Kelly"s attention to detail.

Give another reason why Kelly won't be coaching a BCS game this season.

Such as -- A rogue wave off Lake Michigan destroys the entire campus.

Hot- BiA defense, and we make it through the season with few injuries.

Not- Inconsistent QB play, injuries to RB and/or CB.

+ The second year in Kelly's offensive system has produced huge results in his previous jobs.

- Dayne still has less than a year of starting experience and has ended the past two seasons on the injured list.*


*Note: I think Dayne could have a monster year.

Smash mouth defense.

A bear of a schedule.

Kelly has 80 of 85 guys, ready to play as the next man in, with little fall off from the first 22.

Big 10, Big East, and Pac 10 refs conspire to cost us 12 games, one week at a time.

GO-BK is able to get Crist (assuming that he is the starter, which I'm sure he will be) on track and play with consistency and we see the type of offense that BK had at Cincy
The defense is a pass rushing, run stopping, intercepting, hard hitting juggernaut and is a top 15 defense at seasons end.
AND WE STAY HEALTH FOR A FREAK’N CHANGE.

NO GO-We go back and forth between Crist and Hendrix, and as a result our offense has a hard time finding its grove.
The defense starts off slow like last year and we lose some early games due to our inability to close out games.
And as always we have key players get a case of the injury bug and this exacerbates the inconsistent play.

BCS Yes-Yes please...don't like being limited to one here...
Wide open playbook/shock and awe on offense.

BCS No-
Injury bug bites hard.

BCS: Cierre Wood dominates and RB (lack of) depth is not a cause for concern.

No BCS: O-line still not athletic enough to block in space (trevor robinson) and offense stumbles.


Notice nothing on defense. Veteran laden secondary and d-line with a stud in Te'o to lock the middle down. I'm not worried about the defense.

BCS: Dayne bounces back, D keeps it up, and lack of RB depth doesn't come into play

Not: D's finish last year was just a flash in the pan, injury to Cierre or Jonas, Dayne injured again

+ On paper the potential is there

- Not sold on defending option (AF/Navy), some depth issues, unclear QB situation
