Inorder to salvage this season from complete disaster we need to get to 6 wins and a bowl game.  Although it looks bleak now, looking at our remaining schedule, we still have a good shot at getting to 6 wins.   NC State and Pitt were very bad matchups for us considering their good defenses, and especially their strong pass rushes (Pitt ranked 1 in sacks,  NC State ranked 8) against our non-existent o-line.  Good news is the 5 teams remaining on the schedule have nowhere near as good of defense/pass rush.

FSU - ranked #46 in sacks; #113 in total defense
BC -  ranked #119 in sacks; #116 in total defense
Duke - ranked #32 in sacks; #33 in total defense
Louisville - ranked #76 in sacks; #111 in total defense
Wake Forest - ranked #69(nice) in sacks; #94 in total defense

So there ya have it,  aside from Duke, the remaining teams on our schedule do not have very good pass rushes and, overall, are not very good defensively.  I would expect Devito/Welch to not be on their asses as much,  and the offense should be able to be more effective than they have been over the past 2 games.  Assuming our defense continues their strong play (and they will only play better if the offense picks things up) we should be able to get at least 3 more wins this year.
