It's 10-2 Season!

[dtwalrus]

Why not us, motherfuckers?!

We're young. So what! So is Louisville! So is FSU! We've got OLine turnover. So what! So does FSU! So does Duke! And our coach is an OLine guy! He said it himself that if he's going to be young at any position he'd prefer it be OLine because he's confident in coaching them up! We've got a new QB. So what! So does FSU! So does Duke! So does Louisville! We only won 7 wins last year. So what! We were in almost every single game and were a few key plays away from winning 9, 10, even ELEVEN games last year!

FSU? We get them early, at home on a Friday night, with a QB that's not used to the system or the receivers. And they're replacing 4 of their 5 offensive lineman. Their runstoppers Mario Edwards and Eddie Goldman are gone, playing on Sundays. And this isn't the '13 Seminoles. This isn't even the '14 who really squeeked by. Now they're younger, less experienced, without a controversial but undeniably clutch QB. Beat FSU and we're rolling.

Duke? Breaking in a new QB. And the strength of their defense is the pass, they'll be raw and probably bad against the run. Get our run game going by week 5 and we're going up against their young and untested DLine.

Clemson? New Offensive Coordinator, QB who might not be 100%, and they lost their completely dominant DLine to the NFL.

Louisville? They don't have a QB right now and even if they find one they're breaking in all new receivers and replacing 3/5 on the OLine. Let's see you guys run against Don Brown's motherfucking defense!

VT? When was the last time you motherfuckers beat us at Alumni when Frank-fucking-Spaziani wasn't coach. You couldn't score against Wake Forest! I'll take a 3-0 win!

ND? Fuck you!

NCST? Fuck you!

Syracuse? Fuck you!


Motherfucking 10-2!!!!




p.s. I'll be doing another Preseason Prediction thread this year and will be tracking results on a weekly basis. I'll be posting a thread for people to offer game-by-game type stuff later this week.

Jolly good! This prognosticating business is certainly the sport of the day! I say ten and two myself. And, as you say, fuck you!

Global warming. Blame Obama!

I'm going on record as believing D. Wade is going to be a lot better at QB than most people are expecting. That said, it is still 7-6 season.

This secondary still stinks until proven otherwise, we're going to be starting freshman on the OLine, and I'm still really skeptical of what we're trotting out at WR.

Ultimately it depends on the OLine, remember we won 8 games with Dave Shinskie slinging it back there.

The poster above has no dick.

I think the secondary this year will be way better than last. John Johnson will be the breakout player on defense, Simmons is decent enough, and I like Moore and Yiadom's potential. Also, if there's one thing I trust from Daz, it's to put together a decent O-line. The WR's will not be good, but that didn't stop us last year. 7-5 regular season with a breakthrough shitty bowl win setting up for big time 16' and 17' seasons. Easy money on the 5.5 over under.

How did they look in the shower?

The WRs are more important this season. Wade is not the runner Murphy was but is a better passer. Otherwise, I agree that they are not good.

[StratEagle]

Fair point, but Wade still has decent legs, and the backs will be one year better. I think we'll still be pretty good on offense.

[twballgame9]

If they are good on O, they will be better. Defense is still stout in the front 7 and is deeper now. Back 4 is still a hole, but there is more talent there now.

[mod6A]

so the general expectation is that wade will be at least shinskie-levels?

[hansen]

well, I don't expect Wade to line up behind the LG...

The Dline should be solid but not so sure about the LBs. Milano is a significant downgrade at SLB and who is going to be the WLB? They must have someone in mind or they would not have moved Strizak.

re strizak: think i read somewhere that the bceagles roster isn't accurate and he's still at LB...maybe it was TTSS

I don't think Milano is a downgrade at LB. I think he is a downgrade at "run real fast and sometimes get near the QB."

[twballgame9]

I also think that one of the freshmen/rs freshmen will have an impact. My money is on Karafa or Martin.
