[QUOTE="Crusty, post: 899782, member: 2265"]
Here's the deal as far as I am concerned. Our D has been steady to very good for the last 5 years but our offense, with the exception of 2012 (and that barely) has been pathetic to poor to fair. We won't win 8 or 9 games until we can score points - as in 30+ per game instead of the mid-twenties. It is all about the offense and that means Hunt. We will go as far as he can take us next year.

If opponents score more point per game on average than we do, we are nowhere near a T25 team - period.

Assuming Hunt improves and the new faces can add that extra 6 points (don't forget a healthy Krautman returns) and injuries permitting, we could have enough talent on the field next year to beat ten teams:
[LIST=1]
[*]Nova
[*]CMU
[*]MD
[*]ND
[*]Duke
[*]Louisville
[*]NC State
[*]Wake
[*]BC
[*]Pitt
[/LIST]
I am  not predicting we will win 10 games but I am saying that there are ten winnable games on the schedule. It is doubtful that we will be consistent enough week to week and lucky enough to avoid key injuries entirely. We are at the point however, where, if we can find an extra 6 points per game, we have a real chance of improving on last year.

If you look closely at each of our opponents, only FSU and Clemson are really loaded. Everyone else has some holes and challenges that make them mortal.

Looks like a promising and interesting year ahead.
