Do we have better OL and rb than louisville?

If there's anyone on the D with some balls and they step up (as much as they can), our O vs their D is a wash against their O vs our D. Lets see if this young team shakes last week off, or if they have a hangover still from Chicago. I think we win a very close one.

We win against BC and it was and is a big win. I know BC isnt very good, but we arent either. Huge win, and I expect us to lay an egg against KSU because that is what we do after big emotional wins. We got manhandled. Next up is Bethune, and Im expecting a game akin to the one we played against them last year. I would say a 38-10 win isnt exactly impressive especially when considering it was the DUKE show. I def expected GT to come beat us up with their option. I never doubted we would score points, but I did think we would lose a close one. We won. Next up was NC State. We were 3-1 and the old Canes this past decade drop this one after somehow avoiding the let down at GT. What do ya know we win. We were 4-1. I dont think we had a let down by the way against ND. I think a better team just beat us down.

Here we are prepping for UNC. I know history says we drop this game. I think we will score a few points. I think Unc will score a bunch of points. This is a game we can win. Obviously it is a game we can lose. I wish I had a crystal ball to see the future, but I dont. I think the sharps are on Unc, so I expect about a 2 td loss, but can visualize a 31-31 OT type of game that we lose bc our fg kicker has gone mental.

I think you're partly right about the ND game. They are a better team, but I fully believe it would have been a much different, much closer game had the dropped TD's not happened at the onset of the game. Between those, and the Morris TD that was called back for holding, the offense lost all rhythm. I still don't think we would have won, but it would have been a respectable loss anyway.

As for UNC, you're right it's a game we can win, but I'm not so sure we will. They are probably the best offense we've faced, so I expect them to score every possession they have. Any possession the D holds them to 3 I'm considering a victory. If our offense sputters at all we lose by a few TD's.
