[QUOTE="Yaller Jacket, post: 260719, member: 705"] Two factors. Neither of these is a huge stretch either. 1) Offense must play well, but also, offense must play smart. Many of the killer turnovers have been caused by someone on the line failing to block his assignment. Someone then comes in unblocked and catches the back at a time when he isn't expecting it. The fumble goes to the back, but the root cause is the missed assignment. Cant' have any procedure penalties either. 2) Run defense. We have stunk at pass defense for so long that I can't see us suddenly better. I fully expect UNC to move the ball all over the field. But if we can return to playing good run defense as we did for most of the year, we can hold them to field goals when they get in close. If we can trade touchdowns for field goals, we'll win this game. This is more hope than expectation, but I wonder if we can find another gear for this game. College football players are all too aware of rankings and standings and so on. If you are so far from the rankings you can't see 'em with binoculars, there is a lot of glory in knocking off a ranked team. We might find an extra gear which we didn't have for Ga Southern or Duke.
