This is actually a really tough question tbh...
We have
@ UVA
FSU (home)
@GTech
@Clemson
Pitt (home)
Left on the schedule & if TVD is seriously injured with a broken collarbone (Idk if he is, just what it looked like), he’s definitely out for the rest of the season, which means our Offense could continue struggle mightily & what most found out today is that Jake (Jerry) Garcia is a turnover machine. So all in all we could legitimately lose 3 or 4 of the last 5 for the rest of the season.
UVA & GTech are toss ups, they’re both bad enough that even we could figure out how to beat them on the road.
(We could also lose both those games too but I digress lol)
But I don’t see any objective scenario where we actually beat Clemson or Pitt & the FSU game is one that will really hurt to lose at Home. It would have to take a miracle to win that one & they’re not even that good of a team either.
Trying to look at it as clear as I possibly can, I realistically can see 4-8 to finish the season, 5-7 if I’m being generous.
6-6 & above would convince me that Mario is actually a much better coach than I suspected, because he would have to have a seance & invoke the spirit of Bill Walsh to get this team above .500 the rest of the way.
Really rough year 1; year 2, man he’s really gonna have lift this team up to buy back any real confidence that he’s the guy & that the Money men didn’t just get fleeced out of $80mill...
