Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 2242919, member: 622"] I respect your position and would normally hold a little reserve, as your comment does. In the present case, this team was a bowl team last season except for the injury to ED. We have depth at QB, experienced OL with depth and depth at RB (the running game was a serious weak spot but should now be at least serviceable to decent). With the D gaining depth and experience and the improvements on the O side of the ball, I believe a Bowl is the lowest level of expectation for this team. Add to that the UNC and NCState have been routinely overrated, I take a Missouri Attitude (Show Me State), until UNC and NCState put up, the prognosticators should shut up about UNC and NCState. Also, with Louisville losing much of the O-Line, the offense will not be as threatening as last season. All in all, I think that we surprise a few teams because they fall into the trap of Syracuse (recent) past as evidence of Syracuse present/future. [/QUOTE]
