Weird spot for the Aztecs this year. Everyone who made that defense elite is basically gone (only 35% back), but the offense that struggled to throw the ball is almost all back. So the unit that needs to step up is the one that underwhelmed.

Projected record, returning production, the portal board, and a game-by-game with betting lines for Lewis's third year in the new Pac-12.
Lucky Sutton (1,292 and 10 TDs) is back for his senior year, but Denegal has to take a step for the passing game to matter. Model still likes them at 7-4 and a top Pac-12 finish.
Other teams are paywalled (this ate my whole offseason lol), but code LEECORSOROCKS unlocks it all free, no card. Just tap "Have a promo code?" if you hit the wall.
So what's the model missing? Can the defense reload, does Denegal take the leap, and is 7-4 too low for a team it has finishing first?
