I don't think the game is a gimme for UNC. They have to show up and play their game, and play well. I think they are getting 11 firstly, because of the stylistic match up between our D and their O, and secondly due to our offenses inconsistency with converting short yardage situations (and...

Fits my general impression of our defense.

Wow I was thinking we would open as 11-point dogs and voila.

Nice post ja. I am worried we won't be able to slow down the pace without getting the Bback going. We need to be able to get those 1-2 sure yards to move the sticks and eat clock consistently. UNC's defense isn't the greatest. They have, however, had an extra week to prepare. Will be pumped up...

We protected well yesterday and receivers held onto the football. That helps a great deal. I found yesterday particularly impressive because our running game wasn't working (unlike in 2014).

Kind of reminded me of Shawn Jones in this regard. When nothing was there he'd make huge plays with his feet. Looked like a 3-yr starter and senior (who is also quick, fast, and accurate w/quick release).

No question the D is better with PJ and we are better inside the tackles with Mills. Hope they are healthy and ready to go!

I agree the defense did not get any better this week. Very disappointing. I don't know that we can be a good defense this year but I think we can and should improve as the year goes on. The only guy consistently making plays out there yesterday was Gray. Other than that a few cameos by other...

Dude it's like 4-5 people. Open their profile, hit ignore user, no more wading through.

Observations: Offense: The good JT....'nuff said. WRs with a good showing. No drops, tricky routes, winning balls. Jeune is evolving into a beast. Stewart is a vacuum cleaner in tight quarters with his hands. Clinton Lynch being Clinton Lynch Pass protection was pretty good. Duke is a good...

UNC is a nightmare match up for us right now. They are rested, at home, and coming off on a bye week. Their QB can throw, they run a frenetic pace, and they have eye-candy all over the place. We have no pass rush and a back 7 chock full of guys who fall for eye candy. In addition to having an...

Duke's kick off unit is either awesome and/or our return unit is horrible

Marcus Allen plays well when healthy also.

Roof was hired on 9 January 2013. 2014 was first recruiting cycle (K-free, Simmons, Merriweather) r-so/tr-jr 2015 second cycle (Glanton, Cerge-H, Sellers, St Amour) r-fr/tr-so 2016 third cycle (Branch, Adams, C. Martin, J. Woods) tr-fr Edited to add Whitehead was a desperation transfer in...

59th in team sacks in 2013 119th in team sacks in 2016 (so far....it ain't over yet) None of us can say "who is right" at this point in time. We can only judge if people are advancing a reasonable argument. I feel like my argument's as reasonable as any others in this thread.

Merely in favor of seeing what the D looks like when the DL Roof recruited are mature. 2-3 year proposition max. Said dump the guy if it doesn't work out. Could be wrong for sure. Will be FIRST in line to own up if I am wrong. D is frustrating as hell to watch right now. Frustration breeds...

We are tied for 119th in team sacks. I believe what my eyes tell me when I watch film. I see guys struggling to get off blocks. I see blitzes being picked up because OL's aren't worried about double-teaming our rushers. I see QBs with all kinds of time completing passes for first downs. Pelton...

Yeah, the Mocs don't have ANY disruptive DL: The Mocs have as prolific a defensive end starting duo as there is in the country in preseason All-American Keionta Davis and fellow preseason All-SoCon Vantrel McMillan. Source...

-6.5 at the moment.

Err, show me how Adam Braithwaite is acheiving his results with DL who aren't disruptive. That's what the challenge was and you know it. Also BS on your claim I am 'blaming' our players. They work hard and they are D-1 caliber guys. Anyone can see we do not win one-on-one battles on the DL as...
