Anyone else think we beat BC by at least 2 touchdowns?

Jacory leaving was better for us. Yeah he managed the game good, but after the snap the difference seriously drop against our favor. He telegraphed passes, shorts took really long to get to our playmakers thus negating our speed/open space factor, deep balls gave too much time to the opposing secondary to make a play. When we played ND, Jacory played like a little b*** after they found out Randy was fired and I gave him a pass. Then he pulled the same nonsense against BC after we found out that we're missing a bowl game. Coincidence? I think not. I'm sure he's a good kid, but I wish we would've stuck with Marve to be honest.Marve has proven to be an absolutely terrible QB

I actually like our RBs better than last year because I like our line better than last year. Brandon Washington was a disappointment even when he moved back inside and Orlando Franklin, though consistent, didn't bring what he was expected to bring. Lulz at thisLamar Miller is a special talent but he lacked strength as a runner and was really effective when he was near-full/full speed. Duke in 3 years will better than a RS Soph Lamar Miller mark that down.While this may be true, that really isn't the point of the discussion. It's more about if our RB crew will be better this year, not 3 years into the future Not specifically faster, but he already possesses better vision, cutback ability, balance, and center of gravity than Miller had coming in. With Miller out of the way, I'm excited to see what OT does behind Mike James and I think everyone's sleeping on him because of Duke.

I think Street is getting too much respect here because he had such an awesome relationship with Jacory.I don't even know what to say to this... I've never forgotten how many times he dropped passes and didn't attack the ball like should've. Hey, if it's not in the perfect spot for me why bother? We will definitely miss Benjamin, but just like the Duke-Lamar comparison, I think Dorsett is a better wide-receiver than TB3 was at the same stage.Once again, same stage is irrelevant. We're talking about right now, not the future But ****, I only hope Dorsett is as dangerous as TB3 in open space. I don't think our WR's will skip a beat from last year's corp. Allen Hurns has good size and enough speed to get separation on this level. He also has better hands that Streeter and is much more physical. The reports on Dorsett are encouraging but I'll hold my reservations until I see him in game time. The fact that he's added more muscle and keep his quickness will bode well for him. I said on CaneInsider that Lockhart is our best WR coming in, even over Malcolm Lewis, and I'm sticking by that. You'll see more of Lockhart in goal line situations with Hurns on the edge. Young, but a lot of depth. The good thing about WRs is that it's one of the easier positions to transition to from HS to college if you can adjust to physical part of the game.

If Morris can find the guys in open space, it's game over. Because of our speed and talent, our QB has almost always been the catalyst for our team.

Solid post, although I disagreed with some of it.
 
Read on here alot. This is my first post.

I think that we can beat BC by at least 2 TDs. But I wouldn't be shocked if we didn't considering how many new starters we will be breaking in.

IMO the only true playmaker we lost last year was L.Miller. T-Benj. and Streeter were good players and we as Hurricanes fans have been spoiled by so much greatness that when a guy puts up decent number in Orange and Green we want to crown him. But the reality is this look at the Land Scape of College Football. The numbers that Streeter and T-Benj put up are nothing. Almost every team in the nation has guys with equaled production to those two. **** they didn't even lead the conference with their numbers. If we don't have a single guy on this squad who can put up 700 receiving yards then we are screwed.

I am a big fan of T.Benj and Streeter but neither one of those guys dominated or played flawlessly enough for me to believe their production cannot be replicated by someone on our current roster.
