What games would those be? Is this essentially the same roster we were expecting to win coastal with last year?
I'd argue we'll be a better team than last year. First half of 2021 season, , TVD didn't have his sea legs. Neither did any of the 2021 kids as true freshmen. All of them should be dramatically better now. Meanwhile, we've added guys at OL, DL, CB, WR, RB at portal plus an extremely talented 2022 freshman class. And we're are far from done with the portal.
By far our biggest talent loss was Rambo followed by Jarrid Williams. We also lost our starting DEs and 2 guys that were backup safeties by the end of the season. Everyone else is back. So can we offset Rambo and find a solution at RT? Because we certainly are better at every other position, along with the defensive staff and the HC.
So while we won't be a true Top 10 team, we should be scraping the bottom of the Top 20, in the 12-19 range maybe even a little better. And I don't see another Coastal team that's that good, nor do I think Clemson is a Top 5 team, and I think we'll match up well against them finally.
I'm not expecting victory, and I won't hold it against Mario if he doesn't because it's a transition year. But I am expecting to get to the ACCCG in 2022 and have a fighter's chance at winning it.
