You think we can beat 3 elite teams in a row?

Some considered Nebraska to be one of the best teams ever back then, and we certainly were not considered title contenders.
Just saying

They're the most Decorated team in NCAA History till this day...

IDEALLY!

 

[Rellyrell]

That would be outstanding.

Welcome we are destined then because also started a red-shirt freshman QB who could not escape sacks very well but won the battle over a 2nd year QB who got playing time the year before.(Sorry no transfer QB). I think we are guaranteed the NC now. Mortgaged secured, grandkids trust fund raided, life insurance cashed in, stocks sold, bank accounts empty, Vegas here I come. Anyone know current odds?

200 TO 1

I'm all for optimism but every year we do this. We said the same thing last year after LSU. Stop making up these fallacies and comparing these teams to past years. They're different players, different coaches...not to mention the cfb landscape is completely different (s.fla hs players were cfb's best kept secret). Be positive all you want, and by all means keep rooting for these guys on the team because many of them helped transition us from a very dark era in the program (an era many of us aren't proud of). But just stop with this, its really nonsensical at best.

Not with this Oline.

If message boards were around in 1983, I wonder what people would be saying after that 28-3 loss. Pressure on Howard? Kosar not the guy at QB? Makes you wonder.

If it was impossible, the odds would be a lot higher.

Why do you guys do this to yourselves?

Did you see that Kosar? The guy can't even throw a good spiral

it's about perspective man. we lost a meaningless game in the grand scheme of things. all that was lost was bragging rights.

Losing to the Crocs is never meaningless.

at the end of the season, if we're competing for an ACC title, no one will give a single flying fvck about what happened in August.
