Get a grip sparky. Rogers and Highsmith will see the field this year out of necessity. We have depth problems...still. Injuries will expose us at some point this year. This team is getting better but still flawed. We are not a championship team yet....certainly not on paper as of now.

Dandy's got it right. The offense should be okay. But go beyond the 1s on the defense, and things don't look so promising. It would be a disappointment if we did worse than 9-3, but AG is the only reason we're even in a position to talk about this, given how ****** the team became over the past 10 years. We're almost back, but not quite yet.
I don't expect Miami to beat UF or FSU but both are very possible.
I'm going 9-3. Morris hasn't shown anything to prove he can win a big game.
still easy money
Miami can most definitely beat UF early in the season. They lost a bunch of playmakers from that defense last year and have had an ugly offseason in the injury department. Muschump has a lot to prove in the development department still. Rather get the Gaytors early in the season rather than late.

I think he's proven to be a good gameday coach. I know what UF will bring, not sure about Miami. We haven't proven a **** thing against a good team.

LOL Miami fan right? smh
last year was his 1st year starting as a QB and leader of the team. lol ppl act like Stephen Morris has been the QB for 3+ years??
He had to go up against FSU on 1 foot and besides Miami as a team was suppose to be be worst then (7-5) so we overachieved mostly b/c of Stephen Morris last season.
This team is good enough to beat UF and FSU, and if Jacory can beat FSU, I "expect" Morris to do the same, so pull yo skirt up.

There are what should be 7 guaranteed wins on that schedule. And that doesn't include UVA. 3 games you can say are a toss up, until we beat UVA they remain in this category along with VT and UNC. Two games will be very tough.
I would go with the over and golden should win at least 9.

Bet the over, here's why:
1. we went 7-5 last year with a very young team and a very tough schedule.
2. Last year we had arguably the worst defense in team history and still win 7 games.
3. We lost 2 games by a combine 5 points.
4. We basically return the same team on both sides of the ball and historically should mean improvement on both sides of the ball (especially defense).
5. Teams that return 7+ starters on both sides of the ball usually do really well the following season (especially with returning skill position players; Morris and Duke).
6. Other than UF and FSU, the schedule is not too bad, easier than last year.
7. I was listening to Scott Wetzel on XM radio today and one of his "Vegas Insider" guest guy said that this bet is an easy win.

What would really be interesting is Miami at 9 1/2. I think everyone expects us to be dogs for the FSU and UF games, which would mean we would probably be favored in every other game. Got enough confidence to throw money down on 10 games?

It's not Morris I'm concerned about. I think he will be fine. It's Bush or Jenkins getting injured or Perryman or porter.

IDGAF about #7.
Even if the defense stays the exact same, the offenses Miami will face this year are significantly weaker than last year.
FSU and UF are the only teams on the schedule with comparable/better rosters in terms of talent. UF is ripe to get worked by Miami.
Over 8.5 is an easy bet IMO. I'll qualify that by saying I predicted a 5 win season last year.

Agreed. Division I football is a three month war of attrition and we don't have the quality depth to take a serious amount of injuries. I do think we are slowly but surely getting there.

I brought #7 up because others nationally are also saying the Miami at over/under 8.5 wins is a weak line.

Good thing games aren't played on paper. Canecountry3 nailed it with the we aren't facing the same offenses. Our defense being bad last year was also helped by who we played, there was some really good offenses. KSU had one of the best in the country, FSU has playmakers, GT always has a good offense, UNC our O didn't show or we would have won, UVA and NCState scored on everyone, ND went to National Championship, no excuses for Duke (that really long walk to stadium may have tired our D out).
