We’ll have GT on a Thur short week after A&M, FSU, and UL.

but if this team has learned anything, we won’t have another let down like that again. 15-0 baby.

It won't matter, we are chopping off the heads of everybody we play. I'm hoping they will bring in a couple of those Canadian league teams for a competitive game!!!

2nd best will be Miami followed closely by FSU with Francois and Akers
Jan 15, 2018, 8:05 PM
|
|
Followed by VT and Fuente/NC State and Finley
Wouldn't play Miami or VT until ACCCG and get the Wolfpack in the Valley where they usually play much, MUCH worse than at home.
As usual, the biggest test will be the noles. Got to get by then in a tough road environment.

Being realistic FSU at Doak is never something to look past.They're talented across the entire roster and if this new coach is solid they'll be a strong team. I don't believe on our level but if we're not A+ that night they will absolutely make it a dog fight.

No they're not, but I believe that it will take FSU a few years to recover from losing Jimbo!!!

We need to improve our offense a lot if we hope to win another national championship.

I believe that in several games next season we will be tested offensively. This will be especially true at the end of the season in title games and playoffs (if we play too potential) so we will have to score in 20s or 30s at win. Be WRU as well as run the ball. Offensive line will get better or every practice will be a nightmare for the offense. GO TIGERS!!!

Why would you think we wouldn't improve on offense?

I expect a lot, no matter who the QB is. We'll have big guys who can will jump balls at 9 again to improve downfield passing. Depth, talent and versatility on the OL. The return of our best blocking TE in Williams. Two extremely talented RB's. And honestly, does anyone really expect KB to remain stagnant as much as he's already proven people wrong?
The year of real PT last year for our skill players will show. I expect great improvement in WR blocking. Only real questions to me are who starts on OL, but I think whoever wins those competitions will be fine and probably an all around upgrade, especially in pass blocking.

Maybe Va Tech or Miami. Don’t sleep on BC on the road as a tough game.

Yep. Got to figure the BC game will be a Friday night special gift wrapped from the conference office. I truly hate Friday night games, unless it’s some PAC-12 contest with nothing else on tv.

NcSt...
Finley, their very efficient QB is back. Hines is back, Samuels is gone thank God and pretty much their whole receiving Corp is coming back. They have 2 high school All Americans who both played in the Army All Star game. Aliem McNeil a DT who I really wanted and some WR I believe, can't remember his name. They'll more than likely give us a game.

NC State lost a ton. They were a senior heavy team last season. I think they lost 8 on defense.
Doeren should have left when his stock was high.

entire front 7. They don't recruit well enough to overcome that kind of attrition. Even with Chubb and all of those guys their defense only finished 62nd in S&P+. They are going to be BAD on that side of the ball next year.
