Not a fair comparison of teams. Mr. Average Josh Jackson was our QB.

He was supposedly recruited by Michigan as an athlete instead of a QB, which made me think he was athletic. I never believed that after watching him play. He had no arm strength and was a below average runner. He honestly just wasn't very good P5 QB. If he was our QB last season we don't even go to a bowl. With him at the helm of this team this season, I'd say the ceiling would be six or seven wins tops. IMO comparing this years team to that one doesn't work because we're way better at QB. I think even the UCLA transfer would do better than Jackson. I guess I really wasn't a fan.

To be fair, VT still won 9 games that year, which was pretty all right**

9 in '24 prolly = a extension early in '25. (works for me)...**

Personally I think the distribution of outcomes in 2024 looks like this

Lots of #20-25 teams by season's end are 8-4 or so, not a huge stretch**
Synaesthesia • 06/11/24 05:53 PM ET
With relatively good health in the right spots? Yeah we can pass that
