I know, the new Captain Obvious! I think we will win, because we should have a good defense and decent special teams. I am pretty sure the offense will have execution issues with all the new faces on the field and on the sideline. But the other two phases will keep us in it and the offense should have some explosive plays despite all the new faces. We have some serious speed.
But the implications of a loss are pretty severe. First of all, the fan base would totally melt down and the calls for a new coach would be deafening. And it would deflate any preseason confidence these kids have brought to Ireland, making the rest of the way more uphill.
Lets get off on the right track and win this one, playing well and getting some positive energy into the program!
