Good schedule imo. Byes well placed weeks 7 & 12 before UNC & the Big Game, no btb road games outside of the pacific time zone, only 2 btb road games period (SDSU/BC weeks 4 & 5 and Louisville/LSJU weeks 11 & 13 with a bye between). We'll set up for a make or break season with no excuses to barely squeak into a bowl game. It's do-or-die time

How long will they keep us hanging before they announce which day the North Carolina home game will be? That seems like a new low to have the *dates* as TBA for 2 of the games.

I'm not sure about ripping off the Tennessee Titans, oh well...

The schedule is not great but at least it's a relatively good draw of opponents.

Syracuse, in contrast, plays four teams that were in the playoff this past season, with none of those games at home, and they also play at Miami.

The UNC-Cal game is "Oct 16 or 17", and Louisville-Miami is set for Oct 17.

So either UNC-Cal is on Thursday night, or it starts at 7:30 Pacific time on Friday night after Louisville-Miami.

Every game on the schedule looks winnable and losable.

toughest games L'ville, then SMU (home), then MN (home), then a bunch of winnable games.

1 challenge - BC, 2nd away in a row at a tough place to play, but it's just in the right order - early enough to still be whole, late enough to have sorted out the kinks.

8 wins, min.

Don't forget that Wilcox is still our head coach. You know, 6-win Maximum Wilcox.

Our o coaches are vastly superior to any he has hired before. I'm overweighting that.
