Cupcakes

Ask Bobby Bowden or any other coach how they would like to start their season. Their response would probably be to start it easy. Face off against a lesser team to iron out the kinks. That seems to have been missed on soon to be gone athletic director Dave Hart.

The Noles start their season on the road at Death Valley against Clemson that has had our number in recent years. No cupcake here. A loss right off the bat puts the Noles in the hole early.

Other Nole opponents seem to know that. Maryland starts their season with juggernaut Villanova. Va. Tech will have to play tough against East Carolina. The Hurricanes take on Marshall and the Gators face feared Western Kentucky.
