Week 2 Opponent

[SU94]

I haven't completely sold myself on this quite yet, but wonder if we are better off in the long run having a bye in Week 2 next year and giving Dino ostensibly two extra weeks to implement his systems. In this scenario, the Colgate game would provide a dry run followed by a week of fine tuning before tangling with USF.

Point is, perhaps a Week 2 bye in 2016 would not be as damaging or counterproductive as it would most seasons.

Depends on when 2nd bye is?

Do they still exist?

I thought about that too...but after COLGATE I think the best action is to schedule @Wake Forest in week 2.

Friday, Sept 2nd COLGATE
Sat, Sept 10th @Wake Forest
Sat, Sept 17th USF
Fri, Sept 23rd or Sat, Sept 24th @UConn
Sat, Oct 1st @Notre Dame (MetLife)
Sat, Oct 8th VA TECH
Sat, Oct 15th OPEN
Thurs Oct 20th or Sat, Oct 22nd @ Clemson
Sat, Oct 29th LOUISVILLE
Sat, Nov 5th @Pittsburgh
Sat, Nov 12th FLORIDA STATE
Fri, Nov 18th NCST
Sat, Nov 26th @Boston College
Sat, Dec 3rd ACC Championship

Mark, your schedule is incomplete. Does Syracuse get the early or late playoff game?

Louisville at home is more likely than @ wake in wk 2 even though id prefer wake since its an easier team

Why? both teams are are open Week 2...

duke has to host either louisville or wake in week 2 since they are away in weeks 3 and 4 and wake is only one they actually host next year,they go to louisville

Well on the flipside...Duke could just get a bye in week 2. Good input though...

with only 1 bye i think they will wait until wk 5 for byes to start

If you have a week 2 bye, that means 11 straight games without a break=Injury disaster.

I would Rather play Alabama in week 2, take the beat down and have a bye in week 5,6 or 7 than have a bye in week 2.
