Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3862118, member: 405"] What's clear is that this team has to be ready to start the season. We can't wait until Game Four to start clicking. Rutgers, Liberty (?), Fla. State and Wake are the keys to the season. Of the first two, we really need both, but could survive with one (Rutgers or Liberty). Of the second two, those are among our most winnable ACC games, IMO, so we have to get at least one, if we expect to have a competitive season. Overall, I think we need to win 3 of these 4 games in the first half of the schedule to hope to make a bowl game. The second half of the schedule is less forgiving, so we are going to have to be ready to play from Game One. We can't throw away a couple early season What losses, or making a bowl will look daunting. We need good vibes. We need to restore belief. [/QUOTE]
