Message: [QUOTE="wfschrec, post: 4326086, member: 361"] I'm still puzzled regarding all the things people are forgetting about when it comes to our schedule: 1. Pitt is going to have a new OC and Slovis has digressed as a QB, just look at his numbers. Pitt will be worse than they were last year without Pickett and Whipple mark it down. 2. Not sure why people are gaga over UVa, without a #1 pick at QB, Elliot's offense was extremely pedestrian at Clemson and I don't think it will be nearly as potent as an Anae offense now that he has taken the reigns at UVa. 3. BC is BC and I just think if we get more out of our O it won't even be close, they have some pretty talented skill guys in Flowers and Garwo but neither of them are in Tucker's class and Shrader is much better running the ball than Jurkovec. Mahogany is out for the year which is tragic but will weaken that OL. Don't see them beating us. 4. We should've beaten FSU last year and while they may be better, so will we. This game is literally a coin toss. 5. WF even with Hartmann has a hard time with us and honestly losing Robertson will hurt them, they don't have Beale-Smith anymore either so can their replacements step up? We out gained them on O last year and they are less talented this year. 6. Which Louisville shows up? They had some games last year that left me shaking my head ... 3 of the last 4 years they have opened with a P5 opponent and lost all 3 ... will that trend continue? They seem to look lost in week 1 seemingly every year the last 4 years. Their performance against Ole Miss and Air Force last season was awful. They may come out and boat race us or they may play like Wagner .. even when they win they look sloppy. 7. Clemson is replacing both coordinators and DJ looked pedestrian last year ... not sure why everyone loves them so much. Yes they will be good defensively but can the O get it going? I've said it before and I'll say it again the ND game is the one I'm looking at with my lowest level of confidence and their QB situation is unknown right now. How does a Freeman offense look? These are all winnable games for this team if they can stay healthy and the offense adapts well to Anae and Beck. I can totally see the doom and gloom based on history but when it comes to our schedule are we making mountains out of mole hills? I am willing to bet by season's end we won't have the same number of ACC teams ranked as we do at the start, it will be less. I see last season playing out all over again ... question is are we improved enough to take advantage much like we did in 2018? My hope is yes! The one ACC team that scares me more than all the others is Miami ... Van Dyke is legit. If we do see them it would be in the ACC title game ... oh one can dream :) [/QUOTE]
