Better then last year, still a little young, question marks on both lines (LT spot is a huge concern). DB's are good, receivers are young (Kamara looks good, Tate is quick needs to learn to run routes, hopefully Floyd can be an impact freshman). RB position looks pretty good w/ Hughes coming on pretty solid last year. LB's look improved and Tenuta coaching the postion will be helpful. Still a year or so away from being a real contender.

Contender for what? The Independent Conference Title?

Because they sure as hell are not contending for the NC anytime in the next decade. Not with a home-home against Oklahoma on the horizon.

We're going to be *much* better than last year. I really don't see us losing less than 10 games, and I feel confident enough to bet $500 in Vegas on us winning the National Championship.

People don't realize that last year we were handicapped because we had no decent juniors or seniors (and only 2 worthwhile fifth year seniors) as well as true freshman quarterback and runningbacks. This year we'll have a very good junior class, a stellar sophomore class, and the best freshman class in the nation (which actually won't do a ton of good at first, but will matter by the time the USC and NC games come around). And let's not forget Tenuta.

You rate the classes wrong, the junior class is ok at best (was overrated due to having quantity and not as much quality), the sophomore class is much better. The Offensive line is still a concern because there's really no LT and it depends on whether or not the group of Nwanko, Ethan Johnson, Kuntz, Justin Brown can provide 2 solid DE's.

Sep. 6 San Diego St. 3:30pm

Easy win

Sep. 13 Michigan 3:30pm

Lost *everyone*...they have a true freshman quarterback who wasn't even a top recruit. They will be horrible this year.

Sep. 20 at Michigan State TBA

Decently tough game. We'll win.

Sep. 27 Purdue 3:30pm

Reasonable game. We'll win easy.

Oct. 4 Stanford 2:30pm

We beat them last year when we sucked.

Oct. 11 at North Carolina TBA

Potentially tough game...they're a young team on the rise. We'll beat them, though.

Oct. 25 at Washington 8:00pm

2 words: Ty Willingham. No way we lose this game.

Nov. 1 Pittsburgh 2:30pm

Potentially tough game. We'll win.

Nov. 8 at Boston College TBA

They also lose *EVERYBODY*. We'll win in a walk.

Nov. 15 at Navy 12:00pm

New coach, better ND, no problem.

Nov. 22 Syracuse 2:30pm

They're like a AA team.

Nov. 29 at USC 8:00pm

We'll probably lose, but you never know.

But hey, I've had to listen to the ND party line for 6 goddamn years. I suffered through the Tyrone years. You wanna call all those previous years easy schedules too, fine by me. I'm an alum of a real football school.

EDIT: I was referring to historical strength of schedule, i don't know anything about the upcoming year. i don't know that much about the past.

I agree our schedule is usually one of the toughest in the nation. Especially last year's, which was brutal for such a young team. This year is different, however, thanks to the master of lame Kevin White.

A better use of $500 would be to roll it up and use it as toilet paper.

NirvanaYoda, this is how your season will actually play out. I think last year I predicted a 4-8 campaign for you, clearly I was too generous:

SDSU (ND Win)

Michigan (If it was at UM sure loss, but i'll give it 50/50 odds for ND)

@MSU (Loss)

Purdue (Loss)

Stanford (Likely ND win)

@UNC (Likely Loss)

@Washington (Loss)

Pitt. (Loss)

@BC (Loss)

Navy (Win)

Syracuse (Win)

@USC (Sure Loss, 100% certainty)

So it looks like anywhere between 4-8 and 6-6 for this year, in your wildest dreams though you cannot expect more than 7 or 8 wins.
