What's the toughest game we will play this season and why?
Jul 10, 2015, 7:24 PM

I'm kinda leaning toward GT since they always seem to play us well and that offense can be a pain.
I would say Louisville but I just think they lost a lot last year if I remember correctly and it being our first true test, I think we will be pumped up for them .

I just think that their overall experience from last season will make them better this year. I hope we are not too overly confident when that game rolls around.

GT lost all of their starting backs and wide receivers. I think our toughest game will be FSU. Usually is.

I feel like the ND game will be tough. its early and the team will have had 10 days in between real games. The extra time off could help just as much as it could hurt. And the whole cheating luck of the irish thing.

Probably because I live 30 minutes from the Notre Dame campus, but I think that the Irish are the real deal and will be the toughest opponent. If I wasnt inundated with daily Irish propoganda I would probably say going to The Oven on Thursday night.

Jaylon Smith is unreal at LB. might be the best ILB prospect I've seen since Patrick Willis.

I think Louisville will be tough, only because the guys will not have gelled yet. After that ND and FSU.

Agree with Louisville. Plus, this game will be

far and away the biggest home game on their 2015 schedule. We'll get everything they have, fans and team alike, and we'll still be a little raw on the lines.

FSU. Even if they lose 2-3 more to criminal activity they are deep on talent like us. ND is 2nd. L'ville lost too much to keep it close. We beat L'ville by 14 or more.

Sure Louisville lost a lot, but I still worry about rolling out Mitch Hyatt against their aggressive blitzing scheme. They're going to attack the left side all night long with various stunts and blitzes, and I worry about how a freshman will handle it.
Watson didn't exactly look comfortable against it before he got hurt last year.

Louisville for several reasons:
Jul 10, 2015, 8:44 PM
|

Thursday night and it's at their place. So our guys have to travel 439 miles to them on a short week already.
They may have lost a lot of good players but their D-Line is pretty much intact and very good. The loss of Battle does not help. Hopefully Mitch Hyatt will be up to the challenge by short week three.
Lakip had their number last year but probably won't be playing.
Why I think we win: Watson and our skill positions on offense... if they play as good as they are capable Watson won't need more than we already have there. I'm predicting Ben Boulware will the Defensive player of the game. He was all over them last year and will be biting at the bit to play them in their house.
Just my thoughts on the subject.
Aiki

They recruit well. On the road. Pretty good QB. Coach under fire. A lot of peeps seem to be taking this one as a sure win. Not me. That's a tough game.

Will be interesting to see if they finally make some headway and challenge for the Coastal crown.

I'd say the national championship game. Maybe Ohio State will be the 2nd best team in the nation? Not even sure that's stretching it if Deshaun stays healthy.

faster, stronger version of Connor Shaw. David Williams, Earl Campbell in waiting. Dante Sawyer and Marquevios, this years version of Clowney and Quarles. Hoke, Clone of Ellis Johnson. They will be unstoppable.

The positioning of the GT game is what concerns me. Clemson could be emotionally and physically drained after facing ND cuz I expect it to be a hard-fought battle with ND for 60 minutes and a game where the fans are living/dying with every single play.
I like it when we get an off week prior to GT for extra prep, but we don't get that luxury this year.
And I'm sorry, but Lou's schedule and all the players they lost... They aren't going to be a good team this year. I think 7-5 is the best they will do.
