I'm a little worried about the Pitt game, just because it's the first true road game of the year. Those can be tricky. Kinda like eeking past ECU this past year 17-10.

That's funny, since I could have sworn he stayed an extra year after he was predicted to go #1 in the NFL draft, in order to graduate.
And then he went #1 the following year.
Where you might be getting confused is with the term "redshirt junior", which is actually a Senior academically.

Yeah Luck did stay for his senior year. He was projected to go #1 overall as a junior but came back which surprised the hell out of me. Probably a Harbaugh sell job about winning the national championship or something. It's about the only reason I have hope for Logan staying another year. That and the O-line stinking it up really bad

Whoops just checked and he was actually a redshirt JR in 2011. So he was projected #1 overall as a redshirt sophomore. That's nuts. But the point is that he turned down the #1 overall pick. We're talking about Logan having to turn down only a 1st Round pick which is definitely a possibility. It will also depend on how Logan views the O-line and WR situation for 2013. Right now it looks like it might be worse than 2012

Im not that worried about WR because I think Caleb and Knowles will be players and i'd say one (if not 2) of smiling, asante,reeves, will be in the rotation. Then you've got guys like joshua stanford, Irick, from last year, david prince and maybe one or two more from this class.
Our OL depth is scary (not in a good way) for '13 and '14. The development of Goins and Shuman are HUGE going forward.

I do enjoy getting ESPN fellaitio in the preseason. Herbstreit's little giddy preview of FSU @ us was the money shot.
So when are they doing this for UVA?
What? Oh, top 20. My bad, didn't see that at first glance.

^^ THIS -- Regardless of who is coming in, our 3-deep at WR are the only proven WRs on our roster. We also lose Corey Fuller, who many project to be the #4 this upcoming season ..
And our offensive line depth after this season looks dismal. Unless we have SEVERAL EARLY contributors, we may in a little trouble there.

No surprise .. Analysts seem to have much more wood for Clemson but they make good points .. Their offense should be sick but with our D-line does match up well against their O-line and we'll have the secondary to match up better next season I think .. Seems like CBF is already planning better to defend the spread.

I'm not so sure on this one. I love our starters in the secondary, but with all of Clemson's weapons at receiver do we have the horses in the secondary to stay with them for four quarters? I think the DL is going to need to have a big day getting to Boyd early and often at Clemson. Either that or a few new CBs need to emerge. It would be great if Cole or Aromire could step up so Jarrett can play Nickel or CB if needed.

In the ACC title game, the D help up well against Clemson until Jayron went out and then Boyd went nuts and torched Bonner and Jarrett. Hosley won't be there, but last year also had Fuller playing at Whip. Hopefully with him at CB and the rest of the secondary a year older they don't get shredded again.
Big problem in both games last year was VT's offense had all kinds of trouble moving the ball.

THIS. It seemed as if Clemson had the VT offensive playbook. Everywhere the Hokies went, Clemson was there first. They need a few offensive plays that nobody has seen, for situations where the other team seems to know more about the play calling than the Va Tech players.
