USA Today updated preseason Top 25

I need to see how good the OSU defense can be. Defensive Back is a big problem.

Which QB/passing game of your 12 opponents is of concern?

I think our toughest game is away at Penn State. I've not really studied the passers in the Big 10. Ohio State will have to outscore some teams this year and actually play in the 4th Quarter.

Thanks. I was just wondering which opponent had a QB/Passing game that would be top notch.

None better than Ohio State.

How does Oregon get to #4 with a new QB and new Offensive line?

Penn State is the best, but only has one receiver at the moment who is capable of causing problems for OSU.

Iowa is too high IMO. They have a tough schedule and lost a few key players. Losing 3-year starting QB and one of the more dominant DL Ferentz has had will be tough to fill.

I think Iowa deserves to start off in the 20s.

This is what Iowa fans do

Spend 3 years complaining about the QB being shitty then when he graduates we say " well hes going to be tough to replace" lol

And I agree it should be a stout defense. But these days, a little offense is also needed.

Even with 4 OL gone, they do return the best OLineman in the nation. The media feeling is that Oregon upgraded at OC. Besides Ohio State, the schedule is very manageable.

That part is true. And a loss to Ohio State won't hurt them.

RB’s, WR’s & TE will be an improvement. , In my opinion this team is as good or better than LY.

I actually disagree with this. I think many Iowa fans really blame him. They went after both Ferentz for not utilizing him like he should or not having good receivers - outside TEs of course. And he definitely utilized the TEs.

The only other QB that saw playing time this past season is freshman Spencer Petras. So, we might have another 3-year QB

The Iowa QB last year earned my respect. Threw a couple of darts that made the difference in the Cy-Hawk game last year.

I never did use that "paper" that came with the Big Bambu album!

I think I still have that album somewhere with the paper still in it. This corona thing lasts much longer and I might have to look for it.

I have no idea if USC is ranked too high, too low or just about right.

We have a lot of returning players and we look to have upgraded the coaching staff significantly. Also, even with the adversity of the last few years, the team really likes Helton and has never stopped playing hard for him.

But, the previous staff didn't appear to do much as far as developing the players and we have one of the more difficult schedules in the country.
