  • 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

  • Im going with anywhere from an 8-10 win season. Only reason I don't say higher is there is still a lot of weeding out that needs to be done. And even if we do a lot of weeding out our team will be VERY young next season. There aren't many upperclassmen that I believe in.

  • I'll be happy with winning the ACC and just getting back to a BCS game... That challenge shouldn't be that difficult the ACC is really weak especially our division ... No reason to at least go to the ACC game...

  • 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.

    Everyone thinks that just because these seniors leave everything is going to magically fall into place. We will be inexperienced all over the field.

    We are going to have a bad season next year, followed by a better one, and then a better one after that. Golden needs time to get his guys in here and coach them to the best of their ability.

  • 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?

  • I honestly see an 8 win season
    We have a reasonable starter at QB, Lamar stays, and AG will make leaders out of some boys

    And if we dont beat FSU than thats another HUGE disappointment...

    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

  • 8 wins we got some big tough road games next yr tho... gotta go to Manhatten for KSU and Chicago for Notre Dame although not sure what there outlooks looks like next yr but I'm sure they will lose a few players

    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...

  • i say they win 9 games im not worried about lamar leaving all of our backs played this year that will help next year d line cant go nowhere but up they play well the linebackers play better wont have big o lineman on them as much as this year the key really is the d line they get pressure it helps everybody behindhem on offense we need a sighting of our tight ends this upcomng year and our o line will be better and they come out on the other end of tight games we will see alot of people who was freshman this year play alot more crawford,williams,finne,paul and the ones we saw this year will play even better i liked what i saw from cain and porter cain got better each game porter is our best d tackle he got a mean streak good use of the hands watch him this season he gone stay healthy

  • 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.
