Yesterday was fun. Letās cover a 3 point spread by 20 points more often.
Only thing Iām annoyed with now is our schedule. Wish it had set up better for 6 wins like so many other ACC programs, but we can still get there. Going to need to steal a couple though.

Not saying ND is winnable, but if they drop a couple more before our game then they might be unmotivated for that one. Pitt and BC being as good as they are is unfortunate

Weāre absolutely going into Thanksgiving with both UVA and VT at 5-6, sadly weāve seen how that one ends before.

UNC is beatable and seems to be in a free fall/we have their number.
Need to beat one of Pitt or BC
Steal one @ND or @Hokies

Weāll help VT forget they had a disaster of a season given expectations and then their fans will get optimistic and obnoxious again for the offseason. Rinse repeat

I think one thing to consider when discussing CTE, does his staff make adjustments at halftime?
Some are subtle but others are glaringly obvious.
He can not afford another half like we had against Maryland. The clearly made halftime adjustments, stopped making mistakes, but they blocked differently and outnumbered us on almost every occasion on running plays, we made zero adjustments. We should have put that game on ice in the first half but we failed. Yesterday was great because it was a much needed road win, but ccu is awful this year.

Iāve got UNC down as a W, I think we also beat SMUā¦ if Elliott can steal a W @ ND talk about a momentum shift. Idc how they are this year, winning that game inspires confidence in players program and fans alike.

I donāt understand the ND talk. Donāt let the NIU game fool you. Thats a team with a solid defense and a developing offense. They are also on high alert after the NIU game.
Could the Hoos win in South Bend? Sure but it comes down to who do you trust more Leornard or AC? And at this point of the season the Hoos best offensive performance came when AC attempted 20 passesā¦

Helped having Robinson back ā he missed Maryland.
Coastal was averaging about 250 yards a game on the ground through their first three games. Yesterday they were 24-82.

Iām okay with an overall philosophy of committing to stopping the run and collapsing the pocket, understanding that yeah that comes with some big pass plays as a trade-off with mediocre CBs in single coverage. It wonāt win you every game, but itāll win you some, especially if you have an offense that can do its part.

Iām okay with that as well.
Just play to the matchups. The Hoos wont play a ton of teams that can take tbe top off a D and if the DBs up their physical game thatāll go a long way

I was visiting my son in college yesterday, so I didnāt get to see the game at all, and only listened to part of the second quarter on radio. So, my question: Were we as dominant as the score indicates? Were we really good, or was Coastal bad? Should I be excited about the rest of the season, or am I just going to be disappointed?

Hoos were very good and effective especially on offense. Ran the ball like it was 1998.
Will that translate in conference? Maybe, certainly to a lesser degree.
