Yea, your buddies are dead wrong. We'll for sure finish in the top 3 in the big ten - and I personally think we'll win either the home Ohio St. game OR the away Iowa game, which would ensure us at a minimum the #2 slot in the big ten - which should earn us a BCS bowl game.
This is like one of the first years since the Alvarez glory days that we've had such a strong offense. Clay is going to destroy on the ground, Tolizen looked great last year and he should bring that plus some added confidence to the field this year. In the air we have Toon and Anderson, with Kendricks stepping up as a replacement for Graham.
Honestly I'm more worried about our defense, but Wisconsin always has a strong defense so I'm confident they have the line and secondary working well - and know that our returning linebackers should continue to dominate.
How anyone could say we aren't a big contender in the big ten this year is beyond me. Maybe if we had a QB with a mediocre arm who ran the option every other play we'd get more respect (yea that's right Ohio State - Pryor is an overhyped clown, money says Tolizen puts up more respectable PASSING numbers this season)
