Currie is about to go on 600 AM radio to talk about the game and football program
 
sadly, I can remember many more 1st games in which I entered with high expectations and left with severe disappointment...not because we lost but because it was apparent that we just were not good.

I would be overjoyed if I come away from this game with much higher expectations than when I entered.

Everyone is good before their 1st game.

We could very well lose this game and still win 9. I personally think we have four tires of opponents.

Tier 1 Rice and Elon
Tier 2 UNC, Louisville, Duke
Tier 3 BC, NC State, F$U, VT, Utah St
Tier 4 Clemson and VT

And I think Utah St. Is our 3rd hardest game

I think we have 3 tires of opponents--Clemson has tons of tread, Elon & Rice will have almost bald tires and the rest of them will have between 20% wear to 80% wear on their rubber.
 
I'd put State, BC, FSU, VT, and Clemson ahead of Utah State on the difficulty scale.

You left out Syracuse and have VT in there twice.

Clemson shoould be by itself in "Tier 4."

Sorry I was distracted by soccer I meant SU and Clemson. I think VT and FSU are going to be very very beatable this year

Trying to temper my expectations as well but Clawson does seem to have a confidence in this team.

Interview with the USU 247 guy. Seems a little over-the-top enthusiastic about every single player on the roster to me (and very biased) but good information in here nonetheless.

Good lord, this USU writer is brutal. Could barely get through it. I'm really glad Les and Conor don't write like this or we'd have a lot of posters here predicting 10-2 or better every season. It's even more comical when you compare it to the more rational (or negative) Utah St fan's outlook that was reposted in this thread.
 
Here is Les' interview for their site. So much more factual, realistic, and not dripping with superfluous praise. Well done, Les. My favorite exchange is quoted below.

Brian: The kicking game seemed a little shaky in 2018. How has that improved and have you been able to gauge how much confidence there is in the kicking game this season?

Les: There’s a tremendous amount of confidence in the Wake Forest kicking game. Nick Sciba, as a freshman last season, broke the program record for accuracy, connecting on 86.4 percent of his field goal attempts. He didn’t miss a single attempt in the final nine games of the season, and was perfect on extra points. Sciba became the first freshman to score more than 100 points in a season.

From a punting perspective, returning senior Dom Maggio was a Fourth Team Phil Steele's preseason All-ACC pick and has landed 71 career punts within the 20-yard line.

This game would be very tough on the road. Utah State is a good team by all accounts. But an ACC team needs to beat Utah State at home. Hopefully the Deacs get it done.

He’s not a bullshitter. If he feels good, we should feel good.

tigers, I think that’s the wrong link.
