Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1858171, member: 622"] I accidentally clicked on the UConn helmet was sent to the Boneyard. To my surprise, I discovered that they are overlooking Syracuse. I post the stronger comments from the first two pages. I did no include the homer posts nor the minority opinion that Syracuse will win (except for 1 I found amusing as the poster blames loss on being 3-0 going into the game). [I][/I] [B][I][URL="http://the-boneyard.com/threads/season-prediction-thread.95917/"]Season Prediction Thread[/URL][/I][/B][I] Cuse (W) Unlike the last 2, I'm pretty confident about this one. wins: Maine, Navy, Virgina, Cuse, UCF, ECU, Temple, BC, Tulane. Cuse (W) 17-13 ... 60% win probability - sick to my stomach Cuse (W) See UVA: CM - 70% --- (Virginia (W) - At home against a bad team with a new coach: CM - 70%) Cuse (W) UCONN will consider putting in extra seating like the Michigan game for this one. The orange gets squeezed. Confidence level- 100% 4-0 'Cuse - Another new coach with new philosophies and terminology. 'Cuse is in perpetual learning mode with 4 head coaches in the last 8 years. Schafer went 7-5 with Marrone's team in 2013, but the current personnel have 7 combined wins over two years, and Babers will certainly be given (and will take) transitional leeway to build his team. UConn has players who not only have been in the same system for three years, they've actually played (i.e. they were freshman contributors, not reserves). UConn will take care of business, however they cannot pace themselves in anticipation of... Requirements for a successful season: Beat Cuse Beat BC Go into the last game with a chance at the division title (I'd even take losing a tie breaker). That last one is the key to progressing. Then we can worry about Disco leaving if we don't get into the B12. There is always something to fret here in the Yard. No seriously Bob, beat BC and Cuse. (5) high odds wins from group A: Maine, Virginia, Cuse, UCF, Tulane, BC Syracuse: Win. Slightly weaker than UVA, their defense is awful. They got smushed by USF last year when the bulls were still struggling. Their new coach is excellent and will turn them around, but I suspect our secondary will be able to slow them down. Syracuse - W Sat., Sep. 24 vs. Syracuse WIN 21-13 Syracuse: W 23-19 L - Syracuse 21 - 24 This game worries me just because we're 3-0 going in. Hope I'm wrong. Syracuse - W, will be closer than most think but I believe we can definitely pull it out. .[/I] I think that our Orange score more points than most are predicting, especially by week four. UConn can win the game, but if the score is high, I don't believe UConn will have the horses to finish the race. [/QUOTE]
