the toughest games next year IMO. We will beat USuC by 40 next year, so not even counting them.
Toughest starting at:
1. Notre Dame- They looked really good against a solid LSU team. I think their QB Zaire looked like a stud and will be a tough dual threat.
2. Louisville- Tough defense and offense on the road. Their QB has a year under his belt now, and the LB Burgess is a stud. They lose Mauldin I believe so that should help.
3. Tie FSU/GT: FSU because they lose a lot but still have plenty of players to step up. If they get Braxton Miller which sees unlikely unless Darnell Dockett's tweet means he's dropping some loot in a trashbag on his doorstep. GT because Thomas is solid and their scheme. Both at HOME

Against UofL, and GT even if it is in DV. Those Cards have revenge on the brain, and that stadium is a nice environment. I think it will be hard to play there and the fans will be riled up.

You were right the first time.

Everybody is being kind to UL for not reminding them that our backup, injured qb played without taking a single snap during practice that week.
Had neither Cole nor DW been injured we would have beaten them by four scores.

The key to all these games will be us.If we play our game we will be a tough out for everyone. The defense will have to set the tone early.Because our O will be high octane.

Agree with most.
But LSU was bad this year. Not much to brag about in Notre Dame. SC has beat us 5 of 6 years. Discounting them could be a mistake. Hope the team doesn't. They will improve.

Louisville might very well be our toughest road test, losing only Parker and Dyer off the offense, and Mauldin on defense (unless I missed someone). Then again, barring injury, our offense will be better than what they faced in 2014.
Notre Dame game is going to be epic, simply because they have the name and they will be returning to the Valley for the first time in a LONG time. They lose a lot on offense, to include 3 OL, top TE and a WR. Defensively, they dont scare anyone, finishing 61st in rushing and 81st in passing. If DW stays healthy, Clemson will roll ND.
FSU is always going to be tough because they recruit so well. GT is always going to be tough because of their scheme. WE slowed down BOTH of their offenses last year, we didnt lose because they beat our defense. They beat us from our offensive downfalls. I think our offense is heading in the right direction, having come together our last two games, and the infusion of new talent will only make us better, that and a healthy DW. I would look for our first two games to be a springboard.
