2 Friday night games on the road. Luckily the opponents aren’t tough, but god ****. Let’s hope we can get out the gates on a good start with a new QB, OLine and a bunch of new receivers.

Honestly this needs to be an 11 win season minimum. We need to win the conference to get in the dance. Our schedule is cheeks

FAMU on a Thursday?

May as well make it free. I guess it is better than playing a real team on a Thursday night, but not exactly a twist the arm to come in from out of town for that one...

Pretty solid shot Norvell isn’t on the sidelines by the time they come. FSU has a rough start to the schedule

The problem is the conference.
We play ND, FAMU and CMU outside of the conference. With 9 conference games and 1 tough OOC game (ND), this is pretty much it as far as the ACC provides.

I meant the 3 Friday games and the Thursday game. Luckily 3 of the 4 are done in weeks 1-3 and nothing again until November.

The teams are what they are. If Clemson, VT, FSU, and UNC could hold up their end of the bargain it wouldn’t be that bad. But 4 well resourced programs that are mediocre to bad does us no favors.

10-2 doesn’t get us in the CFP in 2026 unless it includes winning in Charlotte.

November in South Bend will be in the 40s depending on time of day.

I would be astonished if it wasn't a night game. If we're both top 10 at that point, it will be the biggest game of the weekend. If we're both undefeated, it'll be the most watched game of the regular season and one of the most watched of all time.

Mario should have said he loves Thursday & Friday night games, and ***** those high school kids, instead of telling the truth

Always something to complain about lol. Godly.

Getting stanford out of the way early and ending the season with 3 home is huge plus

SIAP… Isn't that 9 ACC games? Or does one of them not count towards conference play?

We have 4 games to break in a new OL and potentially 2 freshman or sophomore OT. We also can't afford to drop a game before Notre Dame, don't want a must win game there
