The Bears laid waste to opponents in 2013 with one of the best offenses of the decade, averaging a ridiculous 52.8 points per game and scoring 69 or more points in five of their first six outings. The Bears won the outright Big 12 championship and solidified their metamorphosis from Big 12 doormat to Big 12 dominator.

Quarterback Bryce Petty and his top three receivers are back in the fold and the team will get a boost from the opening of its new $260 million stadium. If the defense can just mix in a few stops then this team will again be a force to reckon with.

The Bears will roll their first three opponents and heading into one of three bye weeks. They emerge from the Sept. 20 off with three of their next four games, the start of conference play, on the road. They do close with four of their last five games at (or near) home, but the one road game is at Oklahoma.

Their Bears have the fewest starters back of any team in the Big 12 and they will have a target on their back. It is difficult to predict who will emerge from shootouts against teams like Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. Road games at Texas and OU are also tricky. I think there are three losable games on this schedule and I will play this one 'under'.
