[RDU VOL#14]

2 months and no bye is not gonna be easy.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Going to be a long year

 

[71VOL]

Love it!

 

[Volpatine]

12-0
Easy

 

[Volteacher]

Texas out of the gate in the SEC….. yeeeeeeshhhh. Our QB won’t know a cover2 from U2

 

[NighthawkVol]

Compared to some other SEC schedules, it’s not bad. Not easy, but not as bad as some others.

[McDad]

Like we have most the tough ones at home.

 

[Hunerwadel]

It really looks odd not seeing Florida or Georgia there.

Time to start hoarding mustard.

 

[HeavenUniversity]

Any guess on dates for the Auburn and Kentucky games?

 

[dobre_shunka]

No back to back road games.

LSU in late fall means mustard bottles and golf balls will likely travel farther in the cool, dry November air.

With both of the cupcake games in Sep, probably makes UK the homecoming game.

Good news is nobody has it easy anymore in the SEC. Bad news can’t say the same for some other conferences but if you go 11-1/10-2 in SEC you know you are good and can win it all not just show up for a token playoff game.

I know you’re kidding, but I truly hope that we don’t give that petulant child the attention that he craves. Just treat it like any other game. It’s been 16 years.

Feels like ‘98.

 

[It's Vols or nothing!]

I see 6 guaranteed wins that should be penciled in.

The rest imo are definitely winnable. A&M is a game I look at and I'm like, yeah, I don't like our chances. That's the only definite loss I see

Worst case scenario is that we have to, have to, at least split w/ aTm and LSU. 2 losses is never good, but back to back losses in November would be terrible timing for the CFP race. I think we need to be 4-1 vs Texas, Auburn, Bama, Arkansas and South Carolina. If we can at worst split the 4 games vs Texas, Bama, Texas A&M and LSU I think we’re gonna be in good shape.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Beat Junior, Bama, KY and the West End Girls and everything else is gravy.

 

[zeppelin128]

No bye week until Halloween is going to be rough, yikes.

If we can get past Texas, might very well be 6-0 when the circus elephants come to town.

 

[IndianaVol]

Not trying to make comparisons, but Indiana started their season with 3 OOC games, then like 6 or 7 straight B1G games before an off week.

Also, with the way they have started each year under Sark, im liking Texas here early.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Very doable schedule!

Agree for the most part, but TX with an experienced Manning at QB and us with a first year QB looks to be a likely loss.

 

[OrangeUTopia]

7-5

 

[madbamahater]

This will require a seasoned transfer QB until someone is ready to step up and take over. There is no margin for a learning curve anymore. Have to win and win now.
