Thought it would be fun to put out there how I'm thinking our season goes.... and our chances of winning.....
Sept. 5 Texas State - Obvisiously, a warm up game and a chance to see where we are in many areas. QB and WR reps will be important along with the offensive line. Not worried about our defense in this game. 99%
Sept. 12 USF - A step up in competition and speed. They say that a team makes its biggest jump in the second game... Let's hope so. Should not be close and don't see it that way. I expect Dalvin Cook over a 100 yards easily. 90%
Sept. 18 @ BC - Friday night game in Boston. Thank goodness they lost their entire offensive line to graduation. Big hurdle and our first on the road. Should get interesting but like last year our talent should prevail. Our defense should show up big time and exploit the young offensive line. Another good game for the running game. Maybe two 100 yard rushers in this game. 60%
Sept. 26 Bye
Oct. 3 @ Wake Forest - I look for this to be another solid blowout and warmup game for Miami. 85%
Oct. 10 Miami - Rivalry game at home with a team that can match our speed. Question will be how far has our passing game has progressed ? I believe it will be a dogfight but we prevail (I have confidence in their coach ;-)). Home field advantage.... 55%
Oct. 17 Louisville - Always a tough team and coach but we have them at home and that will be critical. Another nail biter and should be exciting but lets hope turnovers are in our favor. 55%
Oct. 24 @ Georgia Tech - On the road against GT is never easy but this team is young and doesn't know this "yet". Hopefully we can stay healthy, survive and move on. 50%
Oct. 31 Syracuse - Assuming we're still undefeated, this could be a trap game with Clemson on the horizon. I believe our coaching staff will be on point and we blow the orangemen out. 75%
Nov. 7 @ Clemson - Our toughest game of the year in my opinion. On the road in a very hostile environment against a similar opponent. Coaching will be the difference assuming we stay healthy at LB, DL and the QB performs adequately. 50%
Nov. 14 N.C. State - As with all the teams on our schedules, we have stronger players, faster players and more depth. Should be enough to win this game at home. No problem.... 65%
Nov. 21 Chattanooga - Scrimmage game for the Florida game. Plain and simple. 99%
Nov. 28 @ Florida - At Gainesville against our #1 rival is always tough. You've got to believe if we are still undefeated, we will remain so against the lowly turds or whatevers left of them when we come to town. 55%
Thats the way I hope it ends up.... I think there's a decent chance it could happen for the 3rd regular season in a row. Of course staying relatively healthy will be key especially at LB. I expect Dalvin Cook to over 1000 yards, Pender 400, Patrick 500 and Rudolph with over 70 catches.
