To be fair we were up on a really good Florida State team in the 3rd quarter in 2023 until the defense shat down their leg



Yeah I wasn’t necessarily saying that in a negative for that instance.

I’m sure he knew what he had with the offense and thought “well they are going to do this to a lot of the defenses we play they can’t be THAT bad”.


Unfortunately only the first part was true

Remember what he said before the 2023 opener? He was feeling confident then too

He was not confident last year opening week. Y’all memory is showing.


He hedged on the secondary before both 23 and 24. And for good reason.

This year you can tell he trusts them and the defense as a whole.

Kelly is speaking the words that he believes people really want to hear. He struggles finding the words that actually mean anything.

I’d feel confident too if I had an 18M roster.

It’s fricking game week and we got posters just shitting on the coach already in every thread. Some people in our fan base are miserable and embarrassing.

Oh I think we can win, don't get me wrong. But we'll have to overcome an O-Line that I just don't think will be quite ready yet. I do think maybe Clemson has a similar issue so that may cancel each other out.

But he does know he has the best defensive talent he's had since he's been here and it's not even debatable. So that would help my confidence to.

LFG!!

He was pretty damn confident in 2023.

If the number of going from 5 million to 18 million is close to true, I imagine he should be

Similar to the last three season openers.
He knows the odds are in his favor, he will one day be correct.
