Schedule

[Regalcock]

I expect 10/2 again. Not sure where we falter but we need the back seven on defense to step up and the Oline has to be much improved as well to win them all.

10-2 would be somewhat dissapointing to me. I feel like it's time we break the 10-2 pattern.

That's so weird to say. Shows how for we have come.

UGA will most likely be our only loss...IMO. Both teams will be ranked in the top 10, on the road in Athens at night, our LB's playing their first real opponent and it happens to be on the road in a VERY loud environment. I expect Murray to be slinging that ball all over the place. Our LB's will be lost in this game. Either way, this game will be a shootout, but the home team will leave with the W.

This is the one I'm most worried about. I hope Clowney is on fire for this game. If Murray is being slung around like a rag doll, the outcome might be different.

Except for all our new LBs, these guys are tired of going 11-2 and having to invent rings. They're winners, hungry and they want the title. And as for coming out flat, that was before we had two starting QBs. Lots of talk about which one gets to play. Why not rotate only when the offense fails to score on the previous possession?

i will take 11-1.

I think our season is all about beating Ga and Fla......if we can do that, we have a real shot.

[GamecockJames]

If we get past GA I predict that we win them all. GA lost more on defense than we did so if our o line actually decides to block somebody this season I don't actually see GA being that steep of a mountain to climb. They will be more of a question on defense than we are.

i think we lose one regular season game and make it to Atlanta for the SECCG.

[uscsandstorm85]

Georgia, UCF, and Mizzou will be the games to keep an eye on.

I sure hope Missouri's football stadium is a lot nicer than their baseball facility.

I don't know if the schedule could get any more favorable than it is this year. Every game is very winnable. Of course, every game was winnable last year, too, but one of the two losses we did have was understandable. I don't see any team we play that I don't see why we'd lose to them.

I would think the HBC is telling his men that this is our year, and that at least the SEC East is ours for the taking, provided they all put forth their maximum effort on and off the field because nobody will make it easy for us. The next two games after that would be the toughest of the year but both also winnable.

Anything less than 11-2 would be an underachievement in my opinion. Then again, this year you might be able to win the SEC East two losses, so perhaps I should say 12-2 or 11-3. Can we go 14-0? Absolutely!

[tdevildog1986]

I have the same fear as a lot of others here. That 3 game road trip is going to be tough. I know our guys can get the W's, but wished it was broken up so they can get some home town gameday cheers to boost them.
But as Evilchicken2 said, its going to be a huge test.

[Cocktober Surprise]

While it doesn't particularly matter, if Clemtech beats UGA, we'll be favored in every game we play this season.

We will be the most talented team on the field week after week. While talent alone doesn't win games, there is no reason why this team doesn't march into Atlanta in December.

Unfortunately, anything less after the past three seasons will be a disappointment.

This, folks, is THE schedule/year we've been praying for. No other way to look at it.

Bingo!!! We have to cease the moment at sometime to break on through to the other side. We have squandered too many opportunities in the past three years already. It's time for the football team to step up and realize no mountain is too high.

Go Cocks and win the freaking SEC.

Thats interesting...because people keep asking themselves this for the past few years.

I remember in 2010, people said "if it doesn't happen this year, its not happening"

Then they said the same thing in 2011 and 2012

And now, here we are saying the same thing about 2013.

With a team that is predominantly made up of underclassmen.

exactly.

people need to get past this defeatist attitude of "if we dont get it done this year, its not going to happen"

its an absurd argument to try and make.
