Jackets are projected to win 3 games this season, the fewest in the ACC.
It's hard to believe big institutions like this often fail on spell check....
MIAMLI?
Well, I am usually optimistic.I would look at 3 wins as the floor. It's surprising that one bad transition year makes people think we will continue to be just as bad as the prior year.
My post may have been misleading. I’m not betting does not mean I’m thinking we’re going to tank. I personally think 5 wins is achievable and 6 wins possible. I just thought 4 wins was a lock last year and lost a lot of money on it. I’m not normally a bettor so it’s not like I have a double down type personality and am willing to take another risk. I’m going to wait until we’re more predictable again.Not sure I understand all this negative stuff , hell we only loss to Citadel by 3 . no spring practice not sure when they can or will start fall practice and no team we play has won a game this year.
If this is true... We are in The Bill Lewis Era Part II...... We have Upgraded our OL with Grad transfers from the SEC (current O-line has an OLE MISS Transfer and will be in second season of system) YES!!We will start the season with three fromer SEC OL in the trenches!! We have a 4 star freshman QB who was part of the Elite 11 and a Top Freshman RB along with having former 5 Star DE/4Star WR/4Star DB transfers able to play after practicing in the system for 18 months. If we can't win six with this roster, the coaching staff and AD should resign...According to many sources, our schedule is ranked the 4th or 5th toughest in the nation this year. Looking at our schedule objectively, this is what I see:
Clemson (14-1 in 2019) Loss Short of a miracle we aren't winning this game.
Gardner-Webb (3-9) Win. If we lose two years in a row to an FCS team we might be looking for a new coach.
UCF (10-3) Loss. This team beat Stanford, lost by one to Pitt, and trashed the Temple team that trashed us. QB is recovering from injury is only hope here.
UNC (7-6) Loss. Right now they have a more talented team than we do. Coach Mack hasn't lost it IRT recruiting.
VPISU (8-5) Loss. Hooker comes back. This is a good team. Not sure if they turn the corner under Fuente or flame out, but I don't see us beating them this year.
UVA (9-5) Loss. Mendenhall might be building something here. It will be a couple more years for us to catch up depth wise.
Pitt (8-5) Loss. This is a tossup type game for me. Their O was horrible last year, but they return a pretty decent QB. Their D was great and returns most starters. I think this is a competitive loss.
'Cuse (5-7) Win. Winnable game against mediocre team. Toss up that I'll put in the win column.
Duke (5-7) Win. I honestly think this is a game that CGC has circled. It's a "get the monkey off our back" type game for us. Duke isn't special and we will have had 8 games to work out kinks in the offense.
ND (11-2) Loss. Again, we're just not quite ready for the big time teams.
Miami (6-7) Win. Maybe the only program in the Coastal as dumpster fire as we were last year. Difference is I see us improving and don't see that yet at DaU. Could easily be a loss though.
uga (12-2) Loss. Don't see us winning in this series for another year or two.
I see 4-8 as probable. 2-10 as possible worst case, and with a little luck, 5-7 wins. The bright side is that 4 of our last 6 games are winnable, and we should continue to see team progress as the season goes on.
All that to say I can see why the prognosticators are picking 3-4 wins. Hopefully we see a rapid improvement and next year will be even better.
