Through the Smoke

i am looking for a big improvement on defense and DEPTH especially...especially in the secondary...we need to have the ability to blitz

and on offense I believe it will be Stephen Morris taking the reins...need improvements by Mike James and Eduardo Clements and the O line to be hungry and STRONGER...replacing horn and gunn shouldnt be too bad...another year under Fisch's system should help

fewer than 9 wins= disappointment

5-6 wins.

You guys there is no way we are having 9+ wins. We are not going to be that much better with freshman coming in. There will be growing pains and many of these guys Golden is recruiting will take time to develop.

You’re going to be disappointed ! I think it will be an improvement from this season but we’re not going above eight victories, sorry just my opinion.

Some of you guys are crazy. I'll be ecstatic with 8 wins and 2nd place in the ACC Coastal next year.

But more importantly, I just want to see these guys get bigger, stronger, smarter, and hungrier. Less penalties and more take-aways.

I don't mind growing pains if we're playing the young guns. We shouldnt have growing pains playing freaking seniors!!! I thought we should have benched the seniors and started the freshmen and sophomores after the VTech loss. It would have sped up the rebuilding project.

Oh yeah, and can we PLEASE schedule two cupcakes to start off the season. We need to warm-up before getting into the ACC schedule.

On top of that can we please not have a bye the 2nd week of the season?

Lol we have Sun Life Stadium as home field advantage!

it may not be much, but it won't hurt to play in the 305

Yeah no way...just like a new staff and the 08 class were excuses this year. Inexperience will be the word thrown around just like it was 2-3 years ago. We always have a mountain of excuses ...6-8 wins depending on if miller comes back

Im going to both of those games next year since theyre in the midwest...are you going to go to either? I hope they win both because I dont know what I would do if they lose to KSU again and/or lose to ND...

For what's it worth, here are the 5 predictions I've been keeping to myself for a couple of weeks
1) Golden stays (check)
2) Lamar stays
3) Perryman fills in for Spence so well, it's like he never left.
4) We make a quantum leap (this might be best reserved for 2013).
5) Morris begins to show that he'll be something special.

I don't know what next year will bring. 9-10 wins would be fantastic! I do think we will be better all around. Every SR that leaves will be replaced by someone better.
