Ok Canes fans we are less than a month away and I was talking to a buddy about this today so I wanted to get the fans take on this season and the confidence meter for each game.

Bethune- 10
Southern Miss- 9
@Texas A&M- 4
Middle Tennessee- 10
UNC- 7
@VT- 7
Duke- 8
@Virginia- 8
FSU- 6
@Georgia Tech- 7
@Clemson- 3
Pittsburgh- 6

With that said I believe we will go 9-3 this year and 6-2 in the ACC which should get us to Charlotte. I think this staff makes a difference on the small things that have got us these past few seasons with all the mental mistakes and missed tackles. So if we sure those little things up and have a great season 10-2 is definitely a possibility..

WE NEED TO PACK THE ROCK!!

So Miss is a 10. They don't have anyone we'd have on scholarship. I'm more confident on FSU than UVA. They're no joke. UNC still has a lot too. That'll be tough for the foreseeable future.

@Texas A&M- 8 - Their new DC is trash AF against the run, which is our bread and butter

Middle Tennessee- 10

UNC - 8 - revenge tour, it’s could get ugly FAST with a new QB early in the season

@VT- 10 - Mario is gonna shut their new head coach up - he runs his mouth about Miami ALOT - somewhat personal here

Duke - 10 - MANNY DIAZ is 2-0 with a 42.5 point differential over the last 2. LOL.

@Virginia - 5 - this will be the game to watch for a slip - Virginia is GOOOOD - Armstrong is the second best qb in the ACC behind TVD

FSU - 6 - Rivalry but - NOPE

@Georgia Tech- 10

@Clemson - 5 - Healthiest team wins - also **** BLAKE JAMES FOR NOT SCHEDULING A HOME AND HOME

Pittsburgh - 8 - 8-2 vs PITT since ACC - they don’t have nearly as much juice this season IMO.

I think it's crazy to say the run game is our bread and butter. I mean that aspect of offense has been non existent these past few years under Lashlee. His run concepts could be to blame but it would take a huge step forward from out O-Line for this to hold true IMO. But I will say if Johnson is playing QB at Texas AM I like our chances better. But that's a night game at one of the most hostile environments in college football

I thought it was interesting that Brent Pry made comments about Miami in his introductory speech. VT will be up for the game no doubt, but I hope we throttle them.

I'm sure I'll be downvoted on here, but just trying to be realistic. In my heart, I hope for 12-0.

Fair enough. I do think Gattis’ run game is probably as versatile as Lashlee’s pass game.

But we shall see.

Tempering expectations about the season overall...

I never once said people should be worried or shaking in their boots about FSU.

They’re a sub .500 team with a really bad roster & a horrendous QB coached by Norvell & we play them at Hard Rock.

I know people ain’t spend all off-season brow-beating me to Death about Mario being the second coming to Saban himself to start getting doubtful about FSU of all teams...

I expect tough games @ Va Tech, @UVA, @Clemson etc.. but Home vs FSU??? Nahhhh

I am with you on this, and yes we all know its a huge rivalry. Throw records out the window, etc., etc.

I just have a feeling that TVD wants to make an impression on those FSU pukes, and he is not the only one. I am looking for the 2020 type results in this game.

The UNC game will be contingent upon who they pick as their QB.

If it’s Drake Maye we might be in for a dog fight in that one because he’s a big arm QB & they have the best retuning WR in the ACC & their pass rush is actually set to be good this season because they’ve recruited very well at DL over the last couple classes. Desmond Evans has potential to break out, he looked like a premier pass rusher in their Spring Game.

Va Tech because it’s a road game & because they got a good QB out of the portal in Grant Wells from Marshall & their WR corps is good as well. The caveat to that game is what kind of offense that Brent Pry/Tyler Bowen will run. Tyler Bowen is a Joe Moorehead disciple like Gattis, so they may end up being a run heavy team which can neutralize their passing threat, but otherwise that’s a game that comes down to lots of other variables like health & momentum due to the time of the season when we play them.

The Pitt game to finish the season may be a tougher than most will expect.

Obviously, losing Kenny Pickett & Jordan Addison is huge but Kedon Slovis is more than serviceable & they still picked up 2 very good productive WR’s with speed out the Portal in Konata Mumpfield & Jerrod Means to go with Jayden Wayne who was already on the team retuning from last year.

It comes down to philosophically how aggressive Frank Cignetti Jr will be & whether or not he incorporates any of the concepts they had from their last year’s lethal passing attack into this year’s offense.

So you're telling me there's a chance at 10-2?? lol

Why is everyone so low on us beating A&M?

Probably because we have done nothing lately and have no reason to believe we can go into that atmosphere and beat a decent SEC team. However I have a confidence of 4. If Brad Johnsons kid is playing QB, it's a toss up.

Bethune - 10
Southern Miss - 9.5
A&M - 3.5
UNC - 7
VT - 8
Duke - 9.5
UVA - 7
FSU - 8.5
GT - 9
Clemson - 2
Pitt - 7

We should be 6-1 heading into UVA; trap game considering FSU is on deck, but if we beat UNC…I think it’s smooth sailing the next two.
