Irish are a year away.
They should get into the playoffs this year but next year they have a great chance to win it all. Even if Price leaves with Love, Williams and Young are really good backs. The O-line is loaded. Either Carr or Minchey will have a year under their belt. WR won't be great but Michigan and Georgia proved you can win running the ball and stopping the run. The defense will be with Ash for a yor a year and will have play makers at every level. Having Miami at home under the lights will be a monster home field advantage.

I’m less confident this year than last even though talent better
We don’t really know what we have at QB. I am slightly optimistic that Angelli left and what that means for the level of performance of the underclass QBs.
I am probably the only one here, but I am actually concerned about the O-line without Jag in the two biggest games. Neither QB is a proven runner, and our offense last year could often rely on the QB to bail the line out when protection broke down. Most people forget that Angeli’s “legendary” FG drive almost turned into a strip sack before it got going.
The oline will be fine.
Absher is a very capable replacement for Jags at guard. I expect the line to pin it's collective ears back and run block like animals. Pass pro should be better too.
At QB the pass game will be better, period. Improved accuracy with more weapons, including Love, should make the offense more formidable.
With that said, 2 losses during the regular season is entirely possible.
Agree they will be fine/good. We're used to elite.
I believe they will be by end of year but the season is heavily front-loaded
wow this is so great!
You bring such important info to the board. We are all so grateful.
Your most optimistic post EVER! On meds?

That's exactly what they said in pre season 1988...

I do think it is a similar situation and I thought 1989's team was better than 1988's, however I
think we have a solid chance and I think we could meet Texas in the championship with Georgia, Ohio State and even the normally overrated Penn State as potential contenders.
Agree!
