Never in my life would’ve picked us to hold them to 23. Defense was amazing. Only gave up one home run and forced them to try to execute perfectly every single time
If you want a couple positives to consider:
* this year’s team hasn’t pulled any Bowling Greens; there was much fan wailing about GSU and it was drama-free
* last year the team struggled to get to 6 wins despite having very good injury luck.
The offensive regression and tales that it was...
The ACC’s problem this year is that one of the top two teams will lose their last game and nobody else is good enough to leapfrog them. Miami could maybe sneak in if they lose a barnburner to SMU but that seems like the only path to 2 teams.
GT put up 400 yards and almost 250 on the ground. We’ve obviously seen many defenses stop GT’s running game - IMO that tells you something about how soft the offenses Duke played before that were. They don’t have the level of physicality some other defenses do. SMU nearly put up 500 yards...
Looks like unsurprisingly Duke’s defense wasn’t what it looked like against their initial soft schedule.
Miami doing the Miami comeback thing once again.
This is a bit dated of an example, but it's Disneyland vs Six Flags.
Go to Six Flags and it's a constant stream of "how can we make the most money off you this trip." Customer service is an afterthought, just get you to spend the money. Max revenue per visit, with lots of promotions to get you...
The offense hasn’t been particularly turnover prone which IMO offsets some of the field position woes in terms of the yards vs points gap. It’s not like we’re giving points away that often before the last two games.
The offense grinds but it rarely explodes. The more you have to grind, the...
There were a bunch of three and outs in a row in the middle of the game and Pyron’s arm seemed very off and the run game was doing nothing. The stats for that chunk of the game would be as bad as the emotion test.
I don’t think the general temperament of the one or two day after discussion is...
If you just go with the stats despite a continuing trend of “they don’t score as much as you’d expect based on the stats” you’re putting a lot of faith in the idea that the stats are capturing everything relevant.
I don’t think any current model fits every team perfectly. Efficiency is...
Yeah, the frustrating thing about this season is that it feels like:
* we should’ve beat Duke and UNC by more
* we should’ve won at least one of Syracuse and Louisville
* we should’ve scored at least one TD against VT even with backup QBs (Pyron had passed for 250yds+ the week before and in his...
“Not trying” and “failing to demonstrate that anyone (any money) cares” are good ways to make sure you get voted off.
If GT gets relegated that will suck. I won’t really care if the AA goes bankrupt at that point. It would probably happen anyway, it’s not like the balance sheet was gonna absorb...
