Early thoughts: We avoid Clemson and FSU, which is probably for the best. TCU isn't going to be as good as their recent teams, but that's still a very tough test. PSU might be too tough as well. Bye week comes at a great time. LOVE that we have a Thursday night game again, plus it gives us an extra couple of days to prep for VPI.

I could see 8 wins happening again - but there is a whole lot to rebuild. I think fans should put their expectations somewhere similar to this past season: 6 or 7 wins is still progress.


Kendall's Thoughts:
-- Gotta beat Richmond in the season opener.  That should be a gimme game, and we're not where we want to be until it is.  That said, the domination of U of R in 2010 and W&M in 2011 gives me great confidence in this one.  1-0
-- We need to go 1-2 over the next three games.  Home against the Nits is probably the best bet.  But we need to find at least one win in that mix.  2-2
-- 3-1 against LT, Duke, UMD, WF puts us on schedule with the season.  That's a tricky stretch of games, though.  They seem like gimmes on paper, but all four of those teams will offer specific challenges.  5-3
-- 1-3 down the stretch.  I like getting State after our bye week, and UNC on Thursday night seems promising... if it weren't 5 days after a physically taxing game against revenge-minded Miami.  Just steal one of these games, though.  We can do that.  6-6, bowl game.
