[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 951619, member: 857"] Wasnt going to post in this thread because really, who the hell knows how much a team will win. Injuries, bad bounces, crappily timed marginal penalties, team chemistry, made/missed kicks, fluke plays, etc generate a lot of randomness. However, I rewatched Pitt and UNC games from last year, and I do see some things that lead to optimism. One was DL play. Yes Keon and those LBs are gone. In general though our DL has improved. Second, I like how we tailored available talent into game plans that won. Third I saw us play undaunted by circumstances and focus on execution of said plans...IMO that's the "toughness" Key is talking about. Fourth the coaches stuck to their plans and didn't make weird Collins-like decisions to lose the game. Fifth, an OL that was growing up last year returns and looks solid. No idea what that means for number of wins, but I do feel confident we will field a product that is well-prepared, plays hard regardless of scoreboard, limits beating ourselves, and of which I can be proud of as Tech fan. Usually that means you win your share as well, but always it means you are headed in the right direction. Key reminds me of the NIU head coach who played OL for NIU as Key did for GT. Both with pride in their alma mater and a focus on toughness. Ultimately the ceiling will depend on getting/keeping talent both on the team and on the staff. But I do see Key at minimum getting us to bowl contention most years, and maybe much more. [/QUOTE]
