How many wins for the Deacs?

[DeacsOrDie]

If already posted, then whatever. Just wanted to get the fanbase majority of how many wins we will get this year?

 

[mebanedeac]

7-5 would be exceptionally good given our schedule. I think 6-6 is more realistic and even that would be remarkable.

8-4. No big deal.

Was thinking for a while about which option to go with before I realized this was a football poll.

6-6 remarkable? We have a veteran squad, and I like our schedule. $20 says we make a bowl, takers?

Well to get to 6-6 we will have to defeat either UVa or Vandy, IMO. Either win would be remarkable. As much as I really want a win vs UNC, we are undermanned except possibly with respect to coaching.

Beating UVA or Vandy will not be remarkable.

Just wanted to have my name associated with my prediction of 9 wins.

I'll say 8, counting a win in Charlotte in the Belk Bowl. 4-2 in our first 6 then we get 3 wins down the stretch. Solid season that will build optimism for 2013 when we should be even better

Agree with the 4-2. Doubtful about 3 wins. BC is my only confident win in the last six. Schedule is tough. Vandy may be key to a bowl.

Carolina is beatable. We would have been right in the game in CH last year without all of the turnovers. It was one of their best performances of the year and one of our worst.

 

[jamesda3]

7 wins min 9 max so I am going with 8-4

 

[Screamindemon3]

Lobo is still out OC. 7 wins

 

[80deac]

Suspect OL, loss of Givens, tough schedule ...but Grobe is our coach. Here's hoping for 6 wins.

Harshly pessimistic.

Not only do we have a veteran defense, we have a GOOD veteran defense. Tanner Price is going to be a great quarterback this year, seeing as his main issue last year was the occasional under throw on short routes, and he seems to have addressed that at least. Josh Harris seems to have some fire now. Offensive Line has some raw talent.

8 wins is what I'll predict, but could see 6 in a worst case scenario with 7-9 all being pretty realistic.

7-5 or 8-4. That's bold considering I'm only confident of 4 wins BUT, I think we can surprise a few folks like UVA or Clemson.
