UNC 2024 Post Game

[travgt01]

Third and one to put the game away and we get a substitution penalty out of a timeout. Mind blowing. Someone needs there *** chewed out for that.

One has to think that the UNC fanbase is calling for mack to retire and Collins gone by now right ?

One of the best parts of the end for me was Geoff leaving an obviously injured safety (Allen #29) in the game despite the fact he had a timeout left. Next play Jamal outruns the poor kid who limps to the end zone. Typical Geoff idiocy.

Freddie Kitchens as interim coach might be worse than the Mack/Collins combo. I'm sure this is Mack's last season though.

I think they've been full steam on him retiring since the JMU debacle.

Did anyone else find it odd that

Plenty of people do the muddle huddle...refs choose when to call it...like late hits...cheap shot on Pyron OK...flow of play tangles on sideline...flag

Can we also talk about injuries or some of the fake injuries? Something doesn't sit right with me

Crazy game.

One like this hardly ever happens ….

UNC just announced that Tylee Craft (#13 the kid with cancer) passed away this afternoon. RIP. Way too young.

We otoh always make things harder than they should be. For me, it's a 60+ year curse.

371 yards rushing. 505 total yards. 41 points for the good guys. Go Jackets!!!

With stats like that, you think we would’ve won by more than a whisker. Two average teams trying to lose a game it’s not fun to watch.

Oh, we definitely were pulling the Lane Kiffin there.

What matters is we are 5-2.

So much to clean up. Don't understand why Pyron isn't allowed to pass. Making teams respect that would make his short yardage package so much more effective. Hope King is ok. At least we won't be getting a big head after ththigame.

Nice job by the OL and our running game. Ultimately that's what won the game.

If the four star QB recruit who’s in his third year here now after throwing it fine as a growth isn’t throwing the ball it’s because of EXTREME coach conservativeness, not anything else. We’ve seen that conservatism even with King this year. But we have to break the pattern

It’s not even like most of the throws they call for King are technically difficult

I’m glad we won, but the 4th Quarter metldown still happened and can’t be swept under the rug. The continued questionable(politely saying it) game management is only mounting in concernment and the offense continues to look stale and predictable.

Our defense is not awful. The offense and special teams put them in some bad positions. The run defense is quite good, while the pass defense is still probably below average. They got lucky on some drops, but the defense also forced turnovers and made (mostly) timely stops. They even managed to hold it together to force a FG at the end.

Birr is simply not reliable. Our Special Teams unit has not been boring this year. We’ve gotten blocks and onside kicks, but also given up touchdowns and missed a lot of kicks. They are a roller coaster ride. I’d rather just have a boring special teams that’s consistently OK than whatever this is.

That brings me to my ultimate point. This team is so inconsistent. It feels like it takes a quarter for the offense to wake up every week. The only thing consistent about this team is its inconsistency. That’s worrisome. We are 5-2. That’s our best start this late into the season since 2014. It’s very possible the inconsistencies are growing pains, but there have been enough head scratches this year, that I can not say I have full confidence in what we are doing.

Lastly, we need King healthy, but if he’s not, we need Key and Buster to trust Pyron. We have put ourselves in position to have a pretty nice season, but our margin of error is razor thin, especially against 3 of our final 5 opponents.

Yeah, but we won. We're 5-2. I'm happy.

 

[dressedcheeseside]

41-34, on a game that we should have dominated.


However…we are one game from bowl eligibility. Let’s get healthy quickly.

@PVdad pat on the back to your son. We needed him today.

I’m sorry to say this, but getting in a toilet bowl is no big feather these days.

 

[Randy Carson]

One other point: I was not happy seeing our defensive guys flopping on almost every play in the fourth quarter. Sometimes they even seemed to be confused about who the designated flopper was. And then they get up and walk off the field? You ever have a muscle cramp in the middle of the night? You can barely walk on it the next morning.

We're not playing soccer.

I'll admit I didn't have JH to the house with 16 left on my NINGO card.

Playing for OT but JH busted it.
