I think this is correct. The way to beat da U is to go out and play good D then score up to our max for the year. That should do it, provided we don't have any special teams breakdowns.My opinion of how good a coach Key is will be partly based on how well he strategizes for that game.
If we don't run 25 seconds off the clock on every possession (as long as we aren't way behind) then in my opinion he doesn't have a solid plan to beat UNC.
The only way we are likely to win, imho, is to keep well below the over/under mark and use turnovers to make up the offensive efficiency differences. I think we'll score on them (their D is worse than our O), but I don't think we can stop their passing game. So we have to limit possessions and hope for a couple of timely turnovers.
But, imho, the way to beat UNC is to play good D and sit on the ball like a slug. Something like the 2003 Maryland game (Tech won 7 - 3 against a 10 win Twerps team, very close to my favorite Tech game evah) would do the job. But - again - I don't know if we can do the 2022 version of that. We'll see on both scores.,
