Tuggle Starts and Students Move-in

Today is move-in day on Chestnut Hill which means footballs right on it's heels. I would love to steal atleagle's season prediction plan and call it my own, but credit is due that this was all his work. Before we start though Tuggle has been tabbed for the starting role Saturday, though expect to see a fair amount of Shinskie and maybe Marscovetra as long as Spaz and co. don't mind burning a redshirt year.

and on to my take on the Season

Atl's Worst: 5-7 W/ wins against Northeastern, Kent State, NCState, CMU and UVA
I don't like to be negative but this is a little positive (pun intended) for a worst case scenario. I'll give us the nod against the 2-win FCS program as well as UMD but the Kent State game isn't as much of a lock as I'd like (nor is the UVA game). I think NCState will have a better year than expected and CMU has a sweet dual threat QB that could give us some fits.

My worst: 2-10

My best is 13-0 w/ an ACCCG win over Ga Tech to be honest, we could be great, no one really knows at this point. On a more realistic note my best case scenario calls for a loss to FSU, as much as I hate them their defense is designed to stop a pro-style offense and the away team always wins this series. The ND and Va Tech games will be tough but rivalry games like those always seem to bring out the best in BC.

My best: 11-1 w/ an At-Large BCS bid

What I really think will happen:
Northeastern: Basically a 5th scrimmage 1-0

Kent State: Better than expected but still a blowout 2-0

Clemson:A very tough game but Clemson has a weak o-line and our D-line could really harass them and prevent them from getting the ball to their stud skill position players. On defense their strength is mostly along the line which matches up well with our phenom o-line. It could go either way but I think this is the 1st loss of the season. 2-1

Wake Forest: Wake is really strong at some positions, and just as weak as we are at others. Look to these matchups to be the key difference as BC takes a tough home loss during parents weekend. 2-2

FSU: We don't match up well and the away team always wins. 2-3

VaTech: Young team against a top 10 team in Blacksburg. 2-4

NCState: Tough tough tough game. It will be a nail biter even if Russel Wilson is hurt look to Harris and Haden, if they play well we get another win but I predict a win @ home to prevent a probable 6-game skid. 3-4

Notre Dame: Unless they come out really flat after their first loss of the season against a very good USC I don't see us continuing our dominance. 3-5

CMU: Spaz preps for Lefevour (or however you spell it) and BC handily winds. 4-5

UVA: BC gets on a roll and takes our next win 5-5

UNC: A very talented team this year, they take it 5-6

UMD: A battle of the dregs of the ACC where the Atlantic proves itself superior 6-6
