UNC is on a Thursday night. Gives us 9 days to prepare for FSU. Nice to get some benefit from those Thursday night games.

It's definitely a classic trap game, though. We only have four days to prepare, and we play F$U after, so the players might look ahead.

GT is pesky, and VT is always well coached and underrated. But if those two games are consistently going to define our season, then we need to rattle off a string of Costal championships.

This schedule is very managable, yet again.
 
@ GT @ VT in November seems to be the hardest "stretch" of schedule. Pretty soft.

9 games where we'll be unquestioned favorites, a showcase opener, a rivalry game, and a tough late road game. Should be the spread favorite in every game. Anything less than 10+ wins and Coastal champions will be a major disappointment.

This schedule does set up pretty nice though. 7 games then the bye week to heal up before the tough stretch against GT/VT.
 
@ Blacksburg always tough but the way we handled them this year without an accurate QB. I like our chances.
 
I see 11-2. I expect us to make the ACC Championship game again, where, unfortunately, we probably drop another one to Clemson since they are absolutely loaded next year. 12-2 with a bowl win.

LSU and nole should define our season by us kicking both their rears. VT and GT need to be just other teams we play. I know vt always gave us trouble but we need to leave them behind.

Mid-November is the rough part of the schedule. We get 10 days off for FSU coming to our house with a crap coach in place. And yes, I hate playing Georgia Tech. Everyone does.
 
We getting new uniforms or an on campus stadium?

Figured I’d group all the ing topics together since the schedule release is ripe and fresh.

I'm leaning this way as well. If it weren't for Clemson's D-line coming back, I'd say we have a chance. But two back-to-back trips to Charlotte would be nice. Depends on how our D-line moves on from Norton/McIntosh as well as how much QB play improves.
