ACC Football Schedule

[TheCusian]

Love it.

FSU will be very good - but they will be breaking in a new coaching staff and it's at the dome.

Clemson early is good too.

Louisville without Jackson in the dome, late in the season moves it into a more competitive game.

 

[rrlbees]

Boned again. Should have been Wagner game 1 to get the kinks out. Stupid. And 3 of last 4 are on the road when we might be fishing for win 6. And that one home game is Lville.

 

[TheCusian]

I like getting the 2 guaranteed losses out of the way quick.

No momentum stopper.

10-2

I thought we got rid of guaranteed losses last year?

 

[Trueblue25]

Love this schedule.

6 wins thats all i ask. Though i think all of the below, all things considered, are up for grabs.


Wagner, wmu, uconn, unc, wake, UL, pitt, nc state and potentially BC though i thought they were very impressive this year

 

[Whitey23]

The million dollar question: Will Dungey make it out of October?

I agree love this schedule. You really cant ask for anything better6

 

[Alsacs]

No complaints I don’t mind playing the big boys early.
We should have a better chance to be healthier facing them early rather than later.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I feel good about this.

 

[Trueblue25]

No gauntlet to turn our needed wins into blow outs this year

 

[KaiserUEO]

I’d prefer not to trade 1 for 3 or 4 guaranteed wins...

 

[Trueblue25]

People forgot so quickly last year the effects of playing Clemson/FSu/Miami/The Lamar Cardinals nearly in a row

The ND game is throwing it off, that would probably be a home game giving SU 7 home games versus the 6-5-1 split we have instead. I don't mind playing FSU and Clemson early but the end doesn't set up great if your looking for a big home advantage to grab a 6th win. I do agree about the WMU game being 1st versus Wagner, that makes little sense and makes it a pretty much must win game.

We've known for a long time that WMU was week 1 and that the last 2 games were on the road. I don't think it was our choice to start on the road, but it was probably the only way to get the 2 for 1 deal with them. ND is an ACC thing. Not a lot of leverage. Be happy it's in NYC and not South Bend, where it was supposed to be.

I'd like to think we can work out some kinks in each of our first 2 games.

Given what we knew, nothing you mentioned was a surprise, outside of Wake on Nov 3 I guess.

ND was moved from South Bend to NYC

 

[Timonen]

Just need dungey to make it through the fsu/Clemson healthy. If that happens, this is great.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Yes I know, thats why I listed it as 6-5-1 - 6 home games 5 road games, 1 Neutral.

We good with Devito waiting in the wings regardless.

This is a 7-8 regular season win year...maybe even a 9.

Well but you said ND was throwing it off. There's no guarantee we get 7 home games per year. Obviously we'd all prefer it but I expect 6H and 6A every year. Not all that often do we get 7

 

[shandeezy7]

Ugh of course we would have home games on both 10/20 and 10/27. I have a wedding both of those dates. Was hoping at least one wouldn't be a home game, but here we are.

 

[Trueblue25]

319 row S. I yearn for the return journey.

Right, the WMU game has been scheduled on that date for a bit.

when we have 5 wins going into November, people will complain about 3 of 4 on the road.

I know it was scheduled then. that's why I said stupid.

 

[cuseguy]

Only complaint is three straight home games in September and three of the last four on the road.

ND controls all the tix and we will have to beg and negotiate. that's not neutral.
