9 wins out of 30

I would’t, for reasons already posted.

I could see 6 wins on that schedule: USF, CITADEL, Temple, Pitt, UVA, NC ST. Maybe throw in Miami, but I think us beating them that year was basically a fluke. Oliver was more than capable of leading the offense, and we never got to see if Knight would have been any better. Had Camp and Carter at WR, had Cottrell and Dontae Smith at AB, had Mason, Howard, and Malloy at BB. OL doesn't take a nosedive. Defense plays about the same as they actually did in 2019, possibly better with coaching/scheme continuity. I would not have expected to have a 3 win season under CPJ.

We’ll just have to disagree.

That's perfectly fine, no way to really find out who would have been right.

- Didn’t beat USF the year before. No reason to assume a win there
- Was 1-3 against Narduzzi. Hard assuming a win there
- Was 2-3 against Mendenhall. one win was a miracle. Game was in Charlottesville. No reason to assume a win
- had lost 4 of last 5 to Duke. Game was on road. Only scored more than 25 points in one of those last 5 games. No reason to assume that’s a win.
- The Citadel might have actually been interesting. The only 3O teams we played against under CPJ were AF who totally shut us down offensively and Wofford who outrushed us and was within 5 points of our 2014 team in the 4Q.

There is no reason to assume Woody would’ve done any better in 19 than 18. 2018 was the worst Points Per Play defense we have had since at least 2003.

I would guess 5 wins in 2019. 2017 redux.

Personally, I think WRs are trending above average, except Norris(?), that doesn't play physical at the catch point and doesn't work back to the QB on certain Routes and doesn't seem to play physical, he seems to shy away from Contact and doesn't "want it bad enough".

You are dead right on this one. So why do we keep targeting him so much. Are he and Sims buds?

I have no idea .....

On the 2pt conversion we used #9 (Boyd) he's listed at 6-2 & 212lbs, but looks like Camp(WR) size-wise from last season, I'd like to see him get Norris' plays on those underneath Routes that might require more physicality or the confidence to withstand a potential hit and hold on to the ball.

Little things like this is what drives me crazy (not recognizing which guy is more physically suited to achieve the goal), that and missed assignments.

All Plays that are called are done so with the expectation that they work, so rarely have we called a crazy play, we just didn't get it blocked.

I think he hurt his foot and either ended his career before 2017 started or couldn't shake the injury and retired at the end of 2017.

He was diabetic (Type 1 I believe) and his foot would not heal properly- and it would have been a repeat of that with another injury.

-USF - right, but then the 2019 GT team beat the 2019 USF team, who was awful.
-Pitt - 2019 GT played Pitt within 10, with a competent offense and probably about the same defense, we would have had a good chance of pulling that one out
-UVA - 2019 GT nearly beat 2019 UVA, so again, better offense with the same defense gives us a good chance of getting the win.
-Duke - I actually didn't suggest that CPJ's GT would have beaten 2019 Duke. Though after they beat us by 18 points, they lost their next 5, so who's to say?
-The Citadel would have been an assured win. 2019 CIT beat 2019 GT with GT basically trying to lose the game.
My speculation is based on my assumption that we would have been miles better on offense, with little to no change on defense, which would have at least kept us in games, with at least 3 additional wins.
