ESPN Has UM in the 2015 Preseason Top 10

Advertisement
If the whole premise of us being ranked #10 is because we don't have a running game, that's a little crazy. Yearby is really good, and Edwards, while not a super star, is very solid. Sure there's no Duke Johnson, but that doesn't mean our running game will be bad. They'd be better off saying, "No real changes in the coaching staff, so we pick UM to be #10 ."

Well let's see Thomas.....the o-line is shakey, no real threat at wideout returning production wise....team lost 12-13 guys or whatever off a 6-7 team, best back is a smallish guy who prolly will have protection issues and Edwards is avg at best. Since when has golden 12-13 guys off a 6-7 team and improved his team?

Sadly all the pre-season rating services have us ranked about the same as ESPN. Surely if this seasons team think they're any better than the rankings, show it on the field..

Honestly we lost Dorsett, Clive, Duke, Fowlers, Mongo, and DP. The rest will be replaced easily. You can add Crawford to that list due to DB depth. Most players who played will be back.
 
Every team in the ACC lost players, and has weaknesses. Our biggest weakness is not the running game or OL, but the coaching staff and administration that won't hold them accountable. Those are the reasons we may finish #10 , not our running game or OL.

Not every team went 6-7 with a bevy of NFL players on their roster like Miami did.

I'm Glad you think returning a bunch of back ups or worse off a 6-7 team is a good thing. I don't know what makes you think guys can replaced easily especially with this weird coaching staff. The o- line replacements seem to be awful.
 
"We lost a lot of talent to the NFL last year," says Al as he practices in front of his mirror. "Really hard to replace that talent. Tenth in ACC is a bit of a reach." Al smiles as he walks away from the mirror. "I'll have this job forever. This hick BOT will buy anything."
 
This aint a bad thing... everytime we are predicted to make noise, we dnt even freakin whisper... maybe this changes.... plus it says uncertainty at OL and RB.. well Walton hasnt arrived yet, Yearby didnt play in the Spring Game, and KC McDermott should be back for fall to shore up the line... i like lowered expectations

I have made some righteous bucks betting against Miami for most of the last ten years. I think the spreads may be favorable for betting on Miami this coming season.

Now when we finish 8th it will be touted as "progress".

I'm on the verge of wristing my slits.
