North Carolina - Still A Danger

[SmokeyRone]

I got to give it to you Smokey... you did say from day one that UNC was garbage.

Some thoughts from UNC fans:

Miami is probably going to wear us out. They have a very well-balanced offense and like to throw the ball deep. Our defense is going to have to play its best game of the year to have any chance in this one.

...



Unfortunately going to be a complete blowout. I was hoping UNC would show something against VT. Thought they could win that and begin to turn the season around. Too late now.

I think we lose by 14 or more. But looking forward to a fun day in Chapel Hill. A little tailgating early and than heading to the woman's soccer game at 2. Then back to the car for a little more tailgating. Then walk to Franklin Street and check that out then to the game and enjoy beautiful Kenan Stadium.

we haven't tackled at a high level all year.

as a matter of fact, we didn't tackle at a high level last year either - see GT game, UMd game, Dook game as prime exhibits.


so I don't why you would expect us to tackle well all of a sudden against Miami.


the biggest problem we are going to have on D is that Morris is a dam good QB, and our pass defense is about as bad as it gets.


hope Anderson has our offense ready to score a lot of points, or this will be a bad loss IMO.

You're missing the point (intentionally, I suspect, just to be a douche...if not, you're not as smart as I thought you were). There are some teams who can do all of those things (Bama, Oregon,...) and still beat a team like UNC. We are not one of those teams.

GT beat UNC. It was a pretty close game. They could be pretty similar teams in terms of talent and execution.

We just beat GT playing the very game you said we couldn't beat teams like UNC with.

The D didn't struggle in the second half, and the offense started sustaining drives. We were behind for the entire 1st half until the late FG. If we had continued playing the way we were, we would've lost. If we play that way against UNC, we very well could lose. I don't believe that will happen because Golden is too good, and the team is better than years past. We are better than UNC, and I agree with others who have said that we won't lose to UNC unless we beat ourselves.

Revenge game for Canes.................canes by at least 13 to be nice!!!

 

[sebastian91]

Seriously?

If we turn the ball over, the offense struggles like it did early in the season, and the D struggles like it did at times against U**** and GT, yeah. Seriously.

We have an if, an and & another and. So we have to basically turn the ball over, not score and the defense struggles. Sounds like any game ever played by any team that got slaughtered. You mean if we do everything wrong we will lose. No way!

Not sure when the D struggled against UF?

When they weren't taking the ball away from UF, they were struggling to get off the field. UF had the ball almost twice as long. The D struggled a lot vs. UF.

Wow

You essentially said we can't turn it over, the D can't stink and the offense can't stink. No ****. Even Oregon can lose if all aspects of your team are failing. This is nothing new. No team will win against another BCS team if you are failing in everything.

Against UF our defense was great. We watched different games. I saw a team force a ton of turnovers, hold them to 16 points (6 on a short field because of a punt block), a ton of sacks and tackles for loss.

You're over-simplifying my intent, which is fine. I never said that I think it will happen that way. The point was that I think we're a lot better than UNC, and we'd have to ***** the bed to lose to them.

UF moved the ball, especially through the air, and controlled time of possession. The D came up very big with some takeaways, and they were good against the run, but they certainly weren't great in my mind.

LULZ at that guy. He's too busy wringing his hands and soiling his panties to see that all he's doing is trying to set himself up as a genius in the .05% chance we lose or the 15% chance that it's a close game. He's one of those dudes who says, "Don't underestimate ______(insert shtty team)" every week hoping to come on the next day and beat his chest. "See told you guys not to underestimate that ****."

LULZ at our defense struggling against uf.ag. We beat the sht out of those maggots and broke Driskell. Didn't they gain about 80 of their yards on that garbage time when we let up a little?

 

[Calicanerepresent]

They've beaten us a lot since we joined the ACC.

We need to crush them on national TV.

Remember, we are gonna be without both Derosier & Mustaffa.

Huh? How many times have I said I think we win, and should win?

Very good against the run, great at getting takeaways. The rest, not so great, but good enough.

LOL. There isn't a whole of a **** lot left.

They were able to hit some big pass plays, convert some 3rd downs, possess the ball for almost 40 minutes...yeah, the D played very well overall and made some big plays, but they gave up some plays, too.

So what Florida could be the best team in the SEC this year...... what are you saying? Miami's offense put Miami's defense in that position.

Florida's offense was on the field for 3/4 of the game and all Driskell could muster was 1Td, 2 ints and 290 yards passing w/ 50 of those yards coming from that last fluke drive that ended in Florida scoring that bogus TD to get to 16 points.

Driskell did nothing that game.... dink and dunk, Miami didnt get beat deep at all. It's not like he was "airing it out" get serious.

Based on all that Miami's defense played a **** of a game.... if Stephen Morris had the ball for 3/4 of a game he'd have over 500 yards passing w/ 5TDs minimum.

They did **** in the 2nd half though:

9 plays, 44 yards - FG
3 plays, 8 yards - Punt
3 plays, 6 yards - Punt
5 plays, 18 yards - Punt
5 plays, 30 yards - Interception
3 plays -10 yards - Fumble

I don't understand your point relative to the conversation. I never said he was airing it out, and I never said the defense didn't play well. I said that they were very good against the run, great at getting takeaways, and good enough at everything else. What's wrong with that?

i dont understand why mention the Miami's D "gave up some plays, too" part if you werent trying to imply something?

i thought you were implying that they gave up some plays as if they got exposed or something.... everybody is going to give up some plays in a game. Nobody is going to have a negative yardage stat sheet.

They played a better game defensively then Florida did.... the scoreboard is proof.

 

[jakeman1]

UF's offense was on the field so much because Miami's offense wasn't. UF's defense is the best defense Miami will see. If Miami was able to sustain some drives, instead of going 3-out most of the day, the defense wouldn't have been forced to be on the field the whole game. If they played that game last year, the only difference would have been that UF would have scored like KSU and ND, and the offense would have had to try to take a lot of risks, which probably would have ended up making the score even worse. This is no longer the defense made up of 260lb DT's and 210lb DE's. There are no 210lb LB's anymore. 3 or the 4 DB's are no longer true freshmen. It's a real team and they're solid. They can adjust to what the other team is doing now. They didn't know enough last year to keep what their original plan was, much less make any adjustments.
