UNC defense

[year_of_the_swarm]

Gave up 20 to South Carolina
Gave up 25 to Miami
24 to Wake Forest
21 to Clemson
34 to Appalachian State

Take out that App State game, and they have played a tough schedule and only given up 22 per game.

Lost to Wake by 6... App State by 3... Clemson by 1...

This is a good football team. Their early season stats aren't padded at all with FCS teams or lower level D1 teams. They win close, and lose close. Maybe they play to the level of the competition, who knows.

Gonna be a tough game.

Like the stock brokers say; Past performance may not indicate future results
BUT
Nothing I have seen from Collins suggests we have a snowball's chance

UNC has shown improvement in each game. I just don’t think we can put up enough points to keep up with them. I am not sure how many winnable games we have left this season. If we don’t drastically improve on offense a lot of them could get out of hand.

I don't expect us to win another game this year except maybe Va Tech, but they may fire Fuente before our game and who ever is interim rallies the team....

They have a true freshman at QB and he has made them a good team. Brought them back in the 4th quarter first two games. They have big linemen and decent backs. It will be test for us. They should be heavily favored.

UNC should be favored by double digits.

Their DC, Jay Bateman, is a great defensive mind. I thought the Mack brown hire was a joke until I heard he was bringing in Bateman from Army. UNC is a better team than us right now and are on a good path for future success. Right now I’m just hoping we can improve each week and stay together but I’ll be there Saturday. Go Jackets!

In FBS play, our offense is scoring 9 points per game. That’s how you go winless. That is an incredibly pitiful execution.

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

No matter what the North Carolina defense is Georgia Tech's offense wont be a threat to score very many points.

 

[Spalding Jacket]

Hopefully Bateman does well enough this season to get hired away to a big program like Oklahoma or Texas. Would hate to deal with his defense for multiple years.

I tell you what if we somehow turn things around especially on offense, and by some miracle beat the dwags, I will eat so much crow and rightfully shut up. I just made myself laugh.

This has always been a more winnable game than @ Temple. Still believe that even after this weekend.

I agree 100%. For one thing, this game matters 5 times more.

A conference game is always bigger than a non conference game

Agree, however, UNC left everything on the field yesterday in a heartbreaking loss. They’re emotionally drained and may overlook us.

Yeah, I know, but it least it’s something.

Well we have certainly given them plenty of reasons to overlook us.

One more thing, Bateman loves to blitz, wonder if he keeps at it, risking us breaking a big play vs sitting back and forcing our O to put drives together.
