Why are you all saying that is the year we make a run for the national title, and not next season?
Do you have that much confidence in whatever first year starting quarterback we'll have that season (Olsen I'm assuming), or the pieces that'll be around him?
I'm not sold on a first year quarterback leading us to the promised land. With the right finish to our defensive line recruiting this cycle I'm expecting AT LEAST 10 wins in 2013 with the possibility of running the table.
The ACC sucks. There's no team that has more talent than us. FSU will have an equal amount of talent, but they'll be breaking in a first year starter. VT will be better than they were this season, but I think we can handle them again. UNC will have a good team also, but not more talent than us. We held them to 18 points with this pathetic defense this season. The problem is, all these games will be away next season. That'll make the schedule more difficult, but I have confidence in Golden.
The toughest game IMO will Florida. Top 5 team this season and should be better next year. It all depends on who they lose on defense (apparently Elam and Floyd will declare). Their offense wasn't explosive but they were physical and man-handled FSU's defense. We'll need to get stronger in the trenches if we want to beat them next season.
Our defensive improvement and overall team improvdment starts with our defensive line play. Guys like Porter, Pierre, The Luther, Moore, McCord, Chick etc. need to get stronger and better in the offseason for our team to take the next step, but I've seen results in Golden's short time here and I'm confident they'll improve.
