I don't hold out high hopes for next season:
- There could be as few as two returning starters on defense.  That's a LOT of holes to fill.
- Likely that Hogan will remain the starting QB without an open competition in spring ball (BIG mistake IMnsHO)
- Still no bell cow RB that allows the team to effectively run the offense it wants to run
- Highly likely that Peat is gone

What would make me more optimistic:
- New OC from outside the program who will simplify the playbook like Coach Anderson has done with the defense and tailor gameplans to the personnel on the field
- New QB coach
- Open competition for starting QB in spring practice
- Recruit and play a bell cow RB (low likelihood he plays)
- Carter stays

Unfortunately I don't hold out much hope for more than one or two of those five things happening
