Is this serious? You can’t yada-yada-yada passed new staff during a pandemic and the hardest schedule since Henning.
Last year, with a generational RB, we went 6-6 on one of the easiest schedules ever... it had 3 automatic OOC wins plus the most talent-depleted ACC schedule (sans Clemson).
This year, we are completely devoid of defensive talent. Can you even name the starters on the DL? Offensively, if we were running the same system and had AB, I’d agree we would be better. But, an entirely new system (with no Spring to install it) combined with a no-snaps signal caller removes all previous benefits. And the “should be better from more experience” is the worst argument consider every team can say the same.
4-8, 5-7, 4-7 and 4-7... those are the records in years where the schedule-maker didn’t start us off with a minimum of 3 layup Ws. We’ll be lucky to get a 4th win this year regardless of who is under center or coaching on the sidelines.
