It's funny to see how most casual college football fans and even ACC reporters and bloggers feel as if we are going to be a solid last place this year. Literally, in every game Dungey played it was either a Syracuse win or a single digit loss. Not to mention, 3 of those 5 single digit losses were away games against teams that were ranked at the end of the year. Another one of those losses was to a powerhouse in which dungey sat the first quarter and ended with a missed game-tying field goal. Granted, the MTSU game is inexcusable to say the least.

Yes, I know. We don't have Ish or erv anymore. But expect quite a few of those targets that they received last year to go towards what should be a more productive running game this year. We only lose one starter off the offensive line, and we're replacing him with a good SEC starter. Barring injuries, there should no doubt be an improvement in the running game. The more concerning losses are in the linebacking corps, and frankly that's probably what I'm most scared about with this team. We have talented running backs in the ACC like AJ Dillon, Cam Akers, Etienne, etc. and we're gonna need to stop them.

As long as we don't get too banged up this year (stares at an already impactful injury list in training camp), I'm confident we're gonna make some noise. There's a lot of winnable games on this schedule, it all depends if we have our best guys out there.

Prediction: 7-6
