” [Last season] simply was various, as much as they didn’t want it to be or they didn’t want to get word out there that it was, or maybe they just wanted to speak it into presence,” Sayfie stated. “They still had an okay team, however it wasn’t rather the very same or anywhere near expected for them to actually be the 2023 group in 2024. You begin with losing Jim Harbaugh right there, you’re not gon na be the very same.
“However there were plenty of other distinctions from there. This year, you have a quarterback who ought to be good right away in Bryce Underwood. Which modifications everything for what this team is. It showed you in 2015 how crucial quarterback play is and not being one-dimensional offensively. So you can start right there. However the offending line seems like they’re a little bit more comfortable, and that could go a long method too. It’s truly all about the offense.
“The defense, TJ Guy discussing it today, just the way that they’ve begun with a much greater point with the connection, the entire personnel is back on that side of the ball. They ought to be excellent rocking and rolling immediately. I think that defense is gon na provide a hell of a shot to decrease to Oklahoma and win. It’s simply just how much the offense can produce and how quickly they can start producing in this season, because there are two big roadway games in September. Not every year has those on the schedule, but this year does. So you got ta be all set for it.”
