[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 164295, member: 639"] Not that bad an article or analysis. The success or failure of this team will most likely revolve around DL and O skill positions and how they progress / reload. The one comment that I resoundly reject ( and I hear it all the time) was the one about suffering an unlikely loss to Miami or somebody at home and the season could spiral out of control. Teams lose all the time and the results of the losses go both ways. I have seen teams wake up and pull together after losses, improving their approach, resolve and focus as a result. I have also seen teams lose confidence and passion with some goals now off the table. You just can't know. Take 2014 for example. TECH lost to Duke at home. Did our season spiral out of control? Heck, we also lost to UNC in consecutive weeks. We went on to run the rest of the regular season table and win the Orange Bowl. Predicting records is not one of my favorite hobbies. You guys are probably sick of hearing me say it. I have no idea what other teams are doing. I will say this though: if what I think is going on in our own camp with our new roster and developing team culture, then we should be a favorite against pretty much every team we play, if only marginally in a few cases. It doesn't mean we will win them all. We probably won't. As the season unfolds, we may find that we are slight underdogs in a couple cases. If that happens, they will be only slight, where we still have a better than 40% chance to win. So, you never know. Whatever happens, I will be behind the kids 100%. [/QUOTE]
