They lost both their OC and DC. Fuente is good the first game of the year. Their QB, even though he returns, isn't all that good. I know, AJ Dillon, but that feels like a 34-20 win for us.

I don't see us beating Miami. They have owned us the last two years and are at least as good as we are if not significantly better this season. Diaz is an impressive guy and I think Richt was mailing it in in Coral Gables. Big step up in coaching in my book.

ND is going to take a step back this year. I think our game is closer than most think but they still beat us. I would say it's a one score game.

UVA is clearly our third most difficult game. I'm wondering if their anti-Hokie ticket policy will have the desired effect or whether we will still be able to get tix on the secondary market enough to make it Lane Stadium North again. If Perkins stays healthy, they will win a lot of games. But they have a lot riding on him. Their defense is going to be fantastic, 2nd best in the ACC.
