Oct 8 Florida St. (W) New fsu QB and a vastly improved Canes D. We get the victory.
Oct 15 North Carolina (W) New qb too.attacking D with a staff that doesn't give auto 10yds. Plas a staff that will make adjustments
Oct 20 @Virginia Tech (W) VT rebuilding. will be better, but we're on another level now
Oct 29 @Notre Dame (L) They been stacking talent for a few years. Close, but they get us at home
Nov 5 Pittsburgh (W) They just don't have the talent
Nov 12 @Virginia (W) Just don't have the horses
Nov 19 @NC State (W) Solid team, but Canes superior talent and aggressive D wins out
Nov 26 Duke (W) They facing a far better Canes team than last couple year. No miracle necessary this year

I think a lot of people are over looking that @VT game. Blacksburg is one of the toughest places to play. It will be a short week because it's a Thursday night game and they should be coming off a bye if I'm not mistaken. Plus with Fuentes spread offense and budd fosters defense. Their offense has been what has plagued them for years. They have that young QB from central FL (forgot what his name is). Who can throw and run. I personally think that VT game is a toss up. Just my .02 cents

Virginia Tech plays at Syracuse on October 15.

Trying to do this as objectively as I possibly can, I split the games into three groups: Probable win/ Coin flip / Probable loss.


Probable wins (Prediction - 7-0):
Sep 3 Florida A&M
Sep 10 FAU
Sep 17 @Appalachian St.
Nov 5 Pittsburgh
Nov 12 @Virginia
Nov 19 @NC State
Nov 26 Duke

Coin flips (Prediction - 2-1)
Oct 1 [MENTION=6412]Geo[/MENTION]rgia Tech
Oct 15 North Carolina
Oct 20 @Virginia Tech

Probable Loss (Prediction - 0-2)
Oct 8 Florida St.
Oct 29 @Notre Dame

Total regular season prediction - 9-3
If one of the two wins in the coin flip section is North Carolina, we are probably in the ACC Championship game.

I just read yet another post stating we should win 10 this year. OK, so here is the schedule. I know it is way early, but predictions? Perhaps, I don't know, with any actual analysis? "We back" and "10 wins and Coastal" doesn't tell anyone ****.

One casino in Vegas still has Miami at over 7 games -105, I got it at over 6.5 at -135. I believe 9 games is about right.

Which casino??

South Point, I think they're the only ones with a line on Totals so far. I got the 6.5 line on May 27th, I went back a few days ago for a buffet, (Not real good compared to others) and the line was 7 -105. I thought it would have been at least 7.5, I guess there is not much action on it so far. I doubt other books will open at 7 or less.

We must win the first 4 after that it gets tough. If we can pull out the Florida State game we'll have momentum, if we lose that one it's going to be a tough North Carolina game, then in 5 days we play on the road at VT, then at ND, oh boy. That Fl State game is so important, they have the better team all around, Kaaya needs a monster game. That's a tough 4 games in a row with that scheduling.
 
If I'm not mistaken we have never won the game after GT. And didnt MSST lose to GT in the bowl game last year. What makes you think Diaz can stop GT and then change gears for FSU?

Pretty sure you're mistaken since Diaz wasn't the MSST DC that year.
Last year they destroyed NCSU. I think they had like 5 or 6 sacks.
I tried to find an example of how Diaz defended the triple option but I don't think he has... Yet.

Consistency is key this season. Especially with the young guys on the defensive side of the ball. They need to be like a McDonalds cheeseburger because a McDonalds cheeseburger is the same. Everyone buys it cause it’s consistent.

Well done Sir! Well done. The younger players need to understand that it's all about being the same guy everyday. Only in this manner will these student athletes develop the life skills that will take them beyond football.

Solid post. I believe we win 8-9.
 
No reason to lose to FSU. We beat them last year if their QB doesn't make a PERFECT throw on 3rd and long. We have home field advantage, and a significant advantage at QB. If we can play them that tough the last two years, why can't we monkey stomp them now? They have no QB, and play with very little discipline. We beat FSU this year, and I think it'll look a lot like the first half of 2014, except sustained.
 
I'm relatively optimistic about the season but that stretch from Oct 15 - 29 where we play 3 very good teams in 14 days (2 on the road no less) is just idiotic scheduling.

The ACC loves to burn their top tier programs. The Big East was better at spreading big games.
 
I really think we go 11-1 in the regular season. ND will be our only loss but we will show up and play them right down to the final gun. It's just our time to beat FSU. I don't think GT is a threat considering Richt owns them in his career. UNC was smoke and mirrors last year and they will not be near as good. They just had one of those years last year. Kinda like Iowa does every 6 years or so...We are just more talented than the rest of the teams on our schedule. Now that we have a real staff and HC we will win games that we should.

Heisman caliber QB combined with a proven veteran playcaller hungry to show what he can do is the great equalizer. You can win any game with that combo.

P.S. Most people demanding 10 wins are talking about the entire season. UM needs to win the Coastal, which will give us an extra game. Plus, we'll have a bowl game. Stank *** VT won 10 games in something like 11 out of 13 seasons in a recent run. UM needs to be able to win 10 this year with the talent we have.

Gene Chizik is the DC for UNC so I think they may be legit with him calling plays. VT is always above average and the swap out of Beamer for Fuente may be similar to the Bowden Fisher swap out. We shal see.

their offense will now actually be more concerning to me. VT i mean.
