ACC Games

[ball915]

Which ACC game did you walk away feeling like we looked far superior and felt good about the way we looked?

For the “doesn’t matter as long as we get the W crowd” this post is intended for exactly you. We were favored by double digits in 7 of the 8 games and did not cover one game comfortable with maybe the execption of a 2-10 FSU. We had the better roster than all
8 teams by far and were in first half battles with all 8 teams. Yes we pulled away late against some average ACC teams but the writing has been on the wall all season.

Look guy I don't know what to tell you. It's about the roster. Recruiting! It's about getting Miami guys. It's about the toughness, being fyzical, and ELITE human beings. How you do anything is how you do everything.

Off the top of my head I can only think of maybe 3 ACC games where we really looks like we didn't belong: 2016 VT, 2022 FSU, 2022 Pitt.

We really should have an ACC trophy case. But how will we ever make room with all of our second and third team all ACC selections year after year?

We had the superior roster in all 8 ACC games and Vegas agreed.

“Shut up mope.”

“It’s only year 3. Mario needs 8 years to get rid of the culture issues and have only real Mario guys.”


We didn’t comfortably win a single ACC game outside of FSU. Some of us continuously pointed it out, and got mocked.

While Miami had higher ranked recruits, GT and Syracuse had players with more "care factor"

Don’t think our issue was our guys not caring. If anything I’d argue it’s an area we’ve improved in.

Idk that it’s caring. I think the defense is so confused on what they’re doing or just put in such bad spots, they can’t just play and it looks like they’re in slow motion.

Don't forget all the Greentree All Americans we have every year

I don’t know what any of the spreads were, so I am going to just ignore that. We only looked like the better team against fsu, Duke, and wake.

“Care factor” is a Mario buzzword. Win football games against less talented teams. GT absolutely played like they wanted it more.

I’m sure our players care, but I’m also sure most players that take a beating for our school care out there.

I would debate Wake...we were up 20-14 with just over 8 minutes remaining because of a Powell pick 6. The last 8 minutes Wake imploded

A memo our guys failed to grasp all year is that we were going to be everyone’s Super Bowl and get their best shot

We were losing to Duke at halftime

 

[Meast21]

Whats your point? We had #1 offense is country and horrible defense so every acc game was a fight. We already know the defense was pathetic and cost us the year.

And a much higher football IQ

That’s true. I’ll take it down to 2.5/8 I suppose.

We were a mid-tier ACC team with an easy schedule and above-average qb.

All I know is I will not be buying into anymore pre season hype or mid season hype from this program ever again. Miami could go 10-0 but I guarantee they will lose the last 2 games or drop one they have no business dropping. Now they are about to get jumped in the rankings by a 9-3 Clemson team. Absolutely unacceptable and Mario is on notice. I don't care what anyone says, he is on the warm seat and it's getting hotter. Especially when he wins 6-7 games next year.
