Ok I have a serious question for you guys.
Are we setting ourselves up for heartache this season? No one and I mean no one on the national level expects us to be very good this year! Before you jump all over me I know they are wrong often, such as Fl St being ranked 10 and losing to Ga Tech.
Is it because Nico only has one game under his belt? Are we just seeing everything through orange shaded glasses?
What are all of us seeing that they aren’t?
The quick response? Why should this August be any different from every other August in VolNation?
"Hey--for years, I thought Fantasy Football was a euphemism for pre-season!"
Glad to see a poster thinking soberly this week.
Trying to be objective: Next year we'll have more experience in some skill areas. But this season I think will be our best offensive line as a unit for the next 2-3 years, mostly because we have such an intelligent, experienced, and exhaustively prepared center to call that aspect of the offense.
So if we gel quickly at QB and the secondary...
get some keen production early from our #2 and #3 running backs...
catch some breaks in big games...
benefit from some bad luck hitting some top-10 teams...
and avoid injuries to our thinnest position rooms...
yeah--we could make the playoffs this season.
But if we don't exceed the reasonable expectations repeated by the media, we'll need a bowl victory to get to 10 wins. Nico
is special--but he's a special, redshirt freshman QB.
