What’s the Road to six wins?

[Stevenson]

Just make a bowl.

 

[djorange1989]

The 5 home games not named Clemson and one more road win.

Holy Cross

Maybe WF/Lville

FSU is still in play.

 

[syrBossHogg]

FSU is still in play.

Yep, they could be checked out if Taggart doesn't right the ship by our game

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

I see a 3-2 start with 7 winnable games after.

3 games middle of the season will define if we win 9/10 games or stumble to 4/5 wins @Nc St Pitt FSU.

I can see us going 4-0 or 0-4 the last 4 games all against programs our level in BC/@Duke/@Ville/Wake

After today, I'm not sure. My confidence in this team is shaken right now. I can live with a loss. I can't stomach what they did today and that was laying down. Everyone has the blueprint on how to beat SU.

Western Michigan has athletes and Lester will have his team ready. Louisville has speed on both sides of the ball. The schedule is literally going to be one game at a time until they prove themselves.

 

[Briancuse]

5 home wins we really should beat lville

WMU plays MIch State at 7 tonight. I’m watching that. State has a good D but no O

 

[orlandoorange]

If our team is the one we saw today, I'm scratching my head to find 6 wins.

Seriously. Everything I thought I knew was wrong.

Duke, Pitt, Wake and BC are winnable. Louisville and FSU maybe. Clemson and NC State are losses.

It’s bleak, but I hope it isn’t as bleak as it looks today.

 

[Briancuse]

Since we play 2 fcs teams do we need 7 wins or did that rule change?

 

[StCuse315]

From Orange Bowl projections to this? Get a grip people. Stay level headed. One offseason doesn't mean were legit. One loss doesn't mean the sky is falling. We will win 8 this year. RELAX

Liberty is FBS.

 

[Briancuse]

Liberty is FBS.

When did they switch?

 

[NKR1978]

When did they switch?

Last year. Though this might be their first official year. They’re definitely FBS though. Just independent.

 

[Entropic]

When did they switch?

This year or last year don't remember which.

Louisville QB is not a good match up for us.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Louisville QB is not a good match up for us.

I'm more worried about that game after watching them vs ND

 

[TheCusian]

I’m not writing off a 8 or 9 wins. But until our OL and LB play cleans up, really hard to be too optimistic.

 

[SmilinBob]

Just have to keep improving. Curious if there may be a couple of changes in the starting lineup?

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Holy Cross then win 50% of the games when we dont have to play Clemson.

 

[Eric15]

One loss doesn't mean the sky is falling. We will win 8 this year. RELAX

It's not the fact that we lost, it's how we lost. If we play a tough game and lose 27-24, that's not a reason to freak out. We were completely and utterly dominated by 43 points.

Yes it was a beat down but it is only 1 loss. Now that said, if this team is deflated and this set a horrible tone for the year then it will be worse than 1 loss but Dino and staff will refocus this team on the big picture.

Yeah, heading into Clemson is not the time for an existential crisis.

Staff is going to need to be creative to make sure this loss doesn't linger.
