The Bulldogs have a chance to be a sleeper in the WAC. Sonny Dykes returns for his second season at the helm of a team that went 5-7 last season. Dykes was a former OC at Arizona and assistant under Mike Leach at Texas Tech. He understands the spread attack and should be able to transfer that knowledge to junior Colby Cameron (6-2, 205), who threw for 461 yds last year with just 1 TD and 5 INTs, backing up Ross Jenkins (1,760yds, 12, 6). If Cameron can’t get the job done, they have jc transfer Zach Griffith (6-3, 185) waiting in the wings. At running back, senior Leonnon Creer (6-1, 215) had an outstanding junior season with 1,181yds rushing and 10 TDs (5.6ypc). The second-team All-WAC performer started just six games. At WR, they return the top two targets including senior Taulib Ikharo (5-11, 185), who had 50 catches for 530yds last year. Junior WR Tim Molton (6-2, 180)They return just two starters on the O-line and hope that two juco transfers (they have 12 this year) will be able to fill the holes. On defense, the Bulldogs have their top five tacklers back. Senior WLB Jay Dudley (6-3, 225) led the team in tackles last year with 94. The secondary returns three starters but they need to improve after giving up 290 yds/game (ranking 117th). The non-conf. schedule includes Southern Miss, Ole Miss and Miss. State on the road with Central Arkansas and Houston at home. The conf. schedule features Nevada and Fresno State on the road and Hawaii at home.
