UNC football is still here! Last year, Carolina truly competed in 10 of the 12 games. Butch laid the foundation in 2007 for the program, and this year we have seen achievement. Who would have thought...
1. We would lose TJ Yates for 6 games,
2. We would lose Brandon Tate at mid-season,
3. We would have Cameron Sexton, our third string quarterback leading the Heels,
and
4. Our record after 9 games would be 7-2?
Our matchup against Maryland could make the difference for the Heels between the Gator/Chick Fil A/Music City Bowl vs. a BCS Bowl. If we lose, I don't see how we can compete in the ACC Championship. If we win, we still have a chance to win the Coastal division.
Let's beat the Terps on Saturday. We've played much more consistent than Maryland this year, and I believe that we have more talent. What bothers me is that we haven't won in College Park since 1997. We need to break these losing streaks and stop piling them on to the lost years between Brown and Davis.
We actually need Va Tech to lose another game before beating Maryland will help. VT plays at Miami Thursday night. If they lose, they will have 3 losses and Miami will have 2. We win the tie-breaker with Miami because we beat them. Go Canes!
ReplyDeleteThe Ga Tech game showed me that killer instinct that was lacking for years. When GT had hope, we squashed it by making plays and not turning the ball over. I have been impressed with our offense's ability to prevent turnovers (other than Paulus in the VT game).
My gut tells me that Miami will beat VT in Coral Gables this Thursday. VT is vulnerable, and Miami has shown some resilience this year.
ReplyDeleteI want to win that Maryland game real bad. I'm pretty sure Butch will have the team thinking of Maryland, and only Maryland, this weekend. The games against Duke and State may be our weakest on our schedule this year. That frightens me for only one reason: letdown. State and Duke would love to prevent us from playing in the Championship game.
