[QUOTE="Techster, post: 827279, member: 360"] Some quick hits on the defensive side: If you're gonna give CGC sh!t for stinking it up against NIU, you have to give him credit where credit is due: Our team has made improvements over the last 2 weeks that I didn't think I would see. Hindsight is 20/20, but Clemson will probably be viewed as a lost opportunity. That said, I think the Clemson game gave our guys the confidence that they can stand toe-toe with anyone regardless of the outcome of the Clemson-NC State game. UNC is a VERY good offensive team and CGC's defense just wrecked them Speaking of wrecking things, CGC came to GT with a reputation for high level defenses. We've heard over and over that CGC's defense can just wreck opponents. This game was the first game where I sat there said to everyone: THIS is the defense CGC has been setting up for. Getting to the QB, and making plays behind the LOS. Quite possibly the best defensive game from GT in over a generation. We did it against a future high round NFL QB. All parts of our defense worked together as sum greater than its parts, but that front 7 had one of the best games I can remember from a GT defense in a LONG LONG time. I was livid when we had an unsportsman penalty on the Howell sack...I was screaming that our guys needed more discipline because that sack gave UNC the ball back. I thought that may have given UNC momentum back, but luckily our defense amped it up. Howell had time, but our secondary did an outstanding job of giving our front 7 time to make plays. The kids are growing up. Look at who made defensive plays in the backfield. A good majority of them are lower classman. Charlie Thomas and Quez Jackson are JRs, but Jared Ivey, Josh Robinson, Domineck, Kyle Kennard, JaQuan Griffin, are all sophomores and freshmen. This defensive front is only going to get more talented with future recruiting classes, and they are only going to get better with experience and development. Charlie Thomas was an absolute MONSTER: 2.5 Sacks, 4.5 TFLs. WOW. Freshman Kennard with 2 Sacks and 3 TFLs. WOW. This bodes well for us, and is going to be a problem for the rest of the ACC. After the Clemson game I felt a bit better about our chances against UNC. After this UNC win? I have optimism that 6 wins and a bowl is VERY attainable. [/QUOTE]
