10-2 is correct.

capacity 17,000. real nice
I certainly hope temporary adjustments are made with temp bleachers to expand capacity for that one game and (more importantly) I hope that this covid-19 shit ends by then such that it would make a difference in that there would be even one person in paid attendance. If no one can attend the game, it makes no difference, play on a high school field.

and Louisville. I thought the 2021 ACC schedule was going to be what it was supposed to be in 2020. Wouldn't that have been fair and made more sense?

So 24-7 thinks there's a non-zero chance that BC goes undefeated? Because that's what has to happen for BC to make it into the playoff.
There is no chance a 1-loss BC gets into the playoff over the national powers. None.
With the relatively low experienced defensive talent and the O-Line issues, BC's "margin of error" seems too thin to get above 10 wins this season. Lots of teams bring back more talent than usual because of the extra year. The O-Line has to get back to "O-Line U" standards so that BC can dictate on offense, and they need to cut down on mid-level QBs racing 60 yards for TDs.
I think they're 1 or 3 years away from a real run at a playoff, depending on whether Jurkovec stays past 2021.

There is a slight chance with 2007 style chaos but your general point is right.
HJS {l Wrote}:This is going to be a huge season for Hafley.
He has pretty much everyone returning on Offense. If he is as good as we think he is, we should see a massive uptick offensively next year. We should see Jurk playing more consistently great (as opposed to the wildly uneven play of Year 1). We should see the OLine dominate given the talent returning (and the stubbornness associated with keeping the OL coach). They lose Jurk's safety blanket in Long, but return a very strong (for BC) receiving corp. Defensively... well... they are still a work in progress given the lack of talent in key positions. That said, D is his specialty and where the most prominent assistants reside. You'd hope that, with transfers and recruits, and another year of the brain-trust to develop, we could see notable improvement. Combine all of this with a favorable schedule and the likelihood of some sort of normal preseason, I'd be concerned if we don't see a significantly better year.
As I have often said that Hafley has a Coughlin-like feel to his tenure, I would predict that we have some high profile success that involves Top 15-ish rankings at points during the season... but, when push comes to shove, it will ultimately prove that the team is not ready for primetime (meaning a blowout to Clemson and a bowl and some stubbed toe against a team or 2 we could've beaten). Coughlin had that uneven-but-promising, foundation-building first season... followed by the capturing-national-attending-before-fading second season... culminating in a can-beat-anyone-type third season (which, because we are BC still involved 3 losses (Miami in Game 1, effing Northwestern in Game 2 and then WVU where David Green fumbled a chance for a real in Bowl the season finale (after Dave Gordon pre-fetish Kick)).

Along the lines of what I think. And I can’t wait. Since I wasn’t around in the 40s, a BC team that is good enough to disappoint me when they fuck up is the best that I’ve ever seen. Hafley didn’t get them quite to that level last year, but with the returning talent and schedule there’s no reason that 8 or 9 wins is out of reach.
The “throw game” should be better than any season since 2007 (not saying much) and given the weapons at WR could be better than that. Really fucking important that the line improves because we were ugly to watch when Jurk was banged up. That being said, everyone returns so it shouldn’t get worse, and Trapilo will have had some time on campus to where he might be able to start playing some if guys aren’t performing.
They aren’t losing much on the defensive side and hopefully normal offseason means some of these transfers and freshmen can push for playing time. The coaching on the defensive side of the ball was really impressive given what they had to work with, and again, on paper, the talent should be somewhat better.
The best thing I can say about Hafley is that he’s got a really good idea of how to go about winning here. I think that the recruiting and the coaching reflects that. Whether or not he can ultimately execute is obviously up in the air, but the path he’s taking is the right one imo

If we beat Missouri, I think 10-2 is totally possible. We will almost certainly lose in Death Valley, but after that there isn't a game that we can't win--I'd guess that on the road against Louisville we are an underdog, but think we would be at least a slight favorite in every other game as we have VT at home. Let's assume we beat Mizzou and lose on the road at Clemson and Louisville but finish 10-2. I'd take it. We'd probably land a decent bowl game and have a lot of buzz going into year three, assuming HAfley doesn't bail at that point.

I wonder if the wheels are about to come off the bus with Louisville. Scatter field has been trying like hell to get out of there and I can’t figure out why unless he knows the shine is going to come off soon.
