Its crazy how swapping UCF for Bowling Green makes it look more manageable than this past season. Louisville is going to be tough with Brohm at the helm. Having WF, Louisville, and Clemson as our 3 permanent ACC opponents is going to be difficult until WF regresses back to what they are historically. Clawson has them rolling now. He has my vote for the best coach in the ACC

 

[TooTall]

3-1 coming out of September.
I have us beating Louisville, getting Brohm in his first game is a plus. Thank goodness we had 8 with Key and wont be such a huge question mark at QB for us as it will be for them.

Well, this is a welcome change from the SCHEDULES FROM HELL Tech has had to face for the last three years. At least Tech has a fighting chance against most of this schedule, provided we can get our many, many O issues solved during the spring and fall practices. And that will, I think will be a very big provided. If both Dontae and Nate end up leaving we will have very substantial holes to fill and not much time to do it. With, btw, a new OC and OL coach and all the disruption that will lead to. Still, this is more like it.

Kudos for getting UCF off our plate.

Is the Chick-fil-A Kickoff the "Mayhem at the Benz" game? Or are we playing another game at the Benz next season?

We will only play one game at MBS, and that is it!

 

[Oakland]

South Carolina State brings a lot of fans. Good move by Tech.

 

[albanyjacket]

I see 7 or 8 wins next year.

 

[Wrecked]

13-0

Not so sure about playing uGa on Christmas

If we can get out of September 2-2 or better that will be a good start (obviously 3-1 or 4-0 is better). Then I think it comes down to how the schedule shakes out, where are the trap games, etc.

4-0 should be possible, but is not likely - would be great though. 3-1 is likely and makes you feel pretty good. 2-2 is probably equally as likely but feels just a little disappointing.

The way I see it…
Guaranteed wins (>95%): BG, SC State
Easy wins (>75%): BC, Syracuse, UVA
Tossups (~50%): Louisville, Wake
Possible wins (>25%): Miami, UNC, Ole Miss
Unlikely wins (<10%): UGA, Clemson

That would equate to about 5-7 wins which seems right. If teams like Louisville, Wake, Miami, and UNC underperform I could even see us getting 8

I agree with 3-1. But don’t be surprised if we go beat Ole Miss. If we start 4-0 get ready for an incredible amount of hype to pop up around the program.

I agree. 2-2 would be disappointing. 3-1 should be the expectation. 4-0 would be awesome. The schedule starts out very friendly for a new HC

You obviously haven't thought about our history playing UVa in Charlottesville. We rarely win there, even when we are clearly a better team.

I also think based on this year that Syracuse will be a tougher game, more in the Toss up category. Although being at home helps.

However, the one thing I KNOW about GT football...they are unpredictable.

Raise your hand if you thought we'd lose to Virginia and Miami at home this year, but beat UNC and Pitt on the road and go into half with UGa at 10-7. Then we'll know who the liars are in this crowd...LOL

 

[Ramble1885]

I see us at 6-6 next year. We win our cupcake games, and manage to finish 4-4 in ACC play to get to a bowl. That wouldn’t be a bad first season for Key, and I miss seeing us play December football so a bowl would be nice.

 

[jacketup]

Is the Chick-fil-A Kickoff the "Mayhem at the Benz" game? Or are we playing another game at the Benz next season?

One game at MBS and it is not a home game like UNC was 2 years ago. It is a Chik-Fil-A Kickoff game and they control the venue. I am told that Tech could have sold more tickets last year but they were not in control of tickets or seating. A lot of season ticket holders were upset at the GTAA, but it wasn't the AA's call. Some folks at the GTAA were not happy with how the sponsor handled things. It will be interesting to see if we participate in these games in future years.

How do you all think we match up against TBD on 9/23?
