BCS NC hunt, ACC Coastal, momentum/ranking/relevency all at stake.

Some fans seem a bit preoccupied with the FSU game, but this is a huge one.

A loss puts us right back in all too familiar territory, where none us us want to go. GT and VT don't play Clemson or FSU, and thus really have a one game head start on us in the Coastal.

I think this is a huge test. A real contender on the national level dominates GT, and doesn't let a slow (and small, they look small) D, and a pattern offense devoid of real playmakers, with a pedestrian runner/terrible passing QB, beat them.

Unless Morris plays at his worst, I'm sure confident we roll.

Looks like Coley's O is getting in stride, we have playmakers all over the place and a deadly run, short pass and homerun passing attack,

and our D is light years better than anything we have seen in many years. On D, we have a pass rush, run defense, improving coverage, and a real turnover threat.

ST's are a strength and not a liability (besides the blocked punt vs UF and a missed FG at USF) we have TD threats on punt and kick returns, great punting, great kickoffs (seems we can kick it out of the endzone anytime, and our coverage has been very good at stopping returns inside the 20).


I say we roll, force turnovers and keep GT out of the game.

Good coaching goes a long way towards stopping GT's chop block and crack back, outdated high school offense.

Felt confident last week, just as confident this week.

Sure we could **** the bed, but so could any other team in the country.

Really think it would take Morris playing awful, or going out early and Williams playing awful, for us to crap the bed. WAY too many threats on offense.

D would have to collapse, and O would have to go on a turnover/3 and out spree.

I think we are a LOT closer to an old skool Canes blowout than a Shannon style collapse.

GT plays Clemson

Didn't know that. Seems like GT, UNC and VT NEVER play FSU or Clemson.

I do know that we can make GT dissapear off the radar with a win tomorrow, send them back to battling for 3rd in the Coastal where they belong!
 
Stacy Coley bout to tear these bees a new *******, and announce to the world he's all growns up.

CANT WAIT
 
I just see it as any team that lost to Miami last year, is a 0% threat this year. I think that this team is to disciplined and focused to have games where they have lulls against inferior teams.

First ACC game against a team that is desperate. We better be ready to play. Just saying. Go Canes!

this is true. we better bring it. I think we will

Good news is if they "bring it", and we show up, it won't matter. Very inferior team. The days of the Shannon/Coker "They lost last week so we can't win" days are over!

I really want to believe that they are over that hump of losing to the UVAs of the world but I am still hesitant to dive in. it is obvious that we are leaps and bounds better than last year...but we sucked last year so the question that still remains is how much better

yeah but no team is more improved then Miami is this year defensively.... GT's team is completely inferior from a talent stand point so regardless of how much it says they have improved, i dont see it on the field.

I think we are much better and are clearly better than GT but to say that just cus we won last year means its an automatic win this year is retarded
 
GT plays Clemson

Yeah that is their cross division rivals.

So they play every year?

Yes. Like we play FSU, GT plays Clemson every year.

Did not know that. And VT gets a free run for like 6 years at a strectch.

Well, let's put GT into that 4th position in the Coastal then! (2nd ACC loss, you know they tank the Clemson game, and probably one more down the road and it's 4-4 and hear of them nevermore!)

Looking at where the teams are this year, that Miami beat.... i'd say that simply going by if we won last year, we are going to win this year is 100% right on the money.
