What to expect this season

[Rocky77]

I think the season is going to be one of our best from what I hear. It looks like BJ is comfortable and that we are pretty solid on receivers. We have solid RBs to get the pressure of BJ. The only thing im worried about is O-line bc they are considering of using a kid that weighs 245. If the O-line does not pan out this season we dont really have to be that worried bc BJ can scramble. But this can hurt our running game if the dont make holes. But if BJ gets injured we might me screwed.

Defense looks pretty solid and looks like we might have another top 25 defense. But the only thing that might be a problem is depth in CB.

The only team that I might worry about is WVU because they have strengths that hurt our weakness. For example they are going to throw the ball a lot and if one of the CB gets hurt this season we might have trouble. Also our O-line is new and the have a solid D-line and a beast DE.

I think Scott is going to take A LOT of pressure off of BJ. If he can manage the games and not turn the ball over, BJ won't have to be the whole offense, he just has to do his job and we'll be tough to beat. I worry about our defense against a power running attack. WVU is good and will be a challenge, but, the individual matchups are always pretty even with them. Cuse with a power running attack could give us trouble as we're not nearly as thick in the middle this year as we were last year (though I have high hopes for Grissom if he can get and stay healthy)

If you dont have a solid Qb is hard to win games unless you have a beast RB and as of now we dont have a Proven one  right now. And the only things Ive been hearing about BJ is positive and you also have to consider that he has had different OC ever year since Freshman year of Highschool

[Ricky the Bull]

Because of solid backup QBs, BJ's ability to run will make up for the OL inexperience if he gets pressure.  Added to that, we now how experienced sch.olarship wide receivers that are now available outlets.

I expect us to not look lost. I expect a complete game plan by coaching. I expect a respectable defense and balanced, conservative-leaning offense. I expect us to compete for a big east championship, though I wouldn't set the bar as win-or-else. Here's to an exciting and hopefully impactful season.

I expect BJ to play great and our running game bea threat!

Also expecting a TOP 10 Defense !

I think you VERY much underestimate our secondary.

Agree. As long as the QB doesn't have all day we should be fine. It sounds like the CBs had a very good camp and we know what we have at safety. For those that don't follow Twitter, JP Peterson at 1010 has dubbed them "Team No Fly Zone", really hope they live up to it as well as Jerrell Young's bold prediction.

Scott hasn't yet broken the starting lineup.  Hopefully the running game does well and takes pressure off the QB.  But don't put it all on Scott.  The O-line needs to do their part in this as well.  There is no history there for Scott.  Yes, he looks like a beast in photos.  We shall see. 

I'm concerned about the O-line.  Reading the last report from Vero it sounded like there were 3 or 4 injuries already with the head injury to Popek the most worrisome.
