Miami and FSU are both at the bottom of the ACC in defense. Not exactly what was envisioned for either of them when they joined the conference,. Not like bullying Big East teams is it? Tech's defense is more than acceptable it has been good enough to win in this conference but those stats...

Smelter scored too soon on that reverse. He should have stopped at the one and just lay down. TIC

He is more than just decent but hard to tell behind that line. He had all day to throw most of the time and they have very good receivers but perhaps not with the big play ability of UNC's Downs. I was very impressed with the offenses of both UVA and UNC...the defenses? Not so much.

Against UVA they blitzed, with very limited success. UVA has a veteran line that is outstanding in pass protection but the Cavaliers could not run the ball with only 21 yards rushing.

Good question and one that I am not qualified to answer but I do know that the rules totally favor the offensive lines and the development of quarterbacks and receivers is such that even the very best defensive backs are at a huge disadvantage to the point that games like Tech and Clemson last...

Unfortunately, one reason why UVA churned out over 500 yards total offense and their share of the 62 combined first downs is the Cavalier offensive line is far better than ours allowing the Cavalier quarterback to look over the whole field and find someone open. UNC is not a good match up for...

A "little high" is it? Depends on what kind of game it becomes. A track meet or an old fashioned bend don't break 80's style meat grinder. Last week's UNC - UVA game is what the Tar Heels like. UNC won 59-39 with a total of 98 points scored and UVA was throwing into the Carolina end zone at...

In some ways, this game may say more about Clemson than us. Their quarterback is not going to take them to the promised land and I guarantee you North Carolina State and others are thinking the Tigers are not so mighty anymore. That said, the Tiger defense is every bit as advertised. We will...

Fix the offensive line and you will have "fixed" the offense. If the receivers start dropping balls in the end zone like that boy did in the Alabama game well, that's between them and the quarterback.

UNC is entirely capable of "boat racing" us IF Howell has time and we allow Downs to get loose deep. Pressure on Howell is a must but it would seem the Tarheels do not have their customary bevy of running backs so maybe we can slow them down. Surely, we can do better than UVA did tonight. UNC...

"Hopefully, this put(s) the QB debate to rest..." Alas, it is likely only starting to heat up. The first poor game Yates has will result in the mother of all quarterback debates on this forum.

Clemson has "top ten" talent but a mediocre quarterback who lacks confidence will negate a lot of talent.

You had to go and remind me. Now I am depressed all over again.

To be honest, I am surprised that DJ's rating is as high as is listed. Both Howell and Pickett are great quarterbacks but both of them have a pronounced tendency to hold the ball in an effort to get the big play. With receivers like Downs, I can hardly blame them but when we play UNC and Pitt...

"Yates is better than DJ." Just ask any Clemson fan and they will agree.

A lot of winning football is about confidence. This is the kind of game that our guys can look back on and build on it. Hell, if we can go toe to toe with Clemson in Death Valley, we should be able to be competitive or win against UNC, Pitt, Duke, Boston College, and even Notre Dame and Miami...

If we had, Tiger Net would have had a nuclear meltdown and Dabo would have been firing everyone in sight.

I tried to tell ya'll that Yates may not be the most physically gifted quarterback but he is unflappable and knows what to do with that football. He makes quick decisions and can run just enough to keep defenses honest and the boys rally around him. He is sort of like Joe Ham when asked about...

Yep that's him. We have to blanket him because Howell looks for him all the time.

The last thing we need is a shoot out. We can beat UNC but not by letting them go up and down the field with Howell throwing darts to number 11. I forget his name but that dude can scoot.
