A Potential Scenario

[JD08]

We keep saying that every other year.

Hope u right though.

They haven't beaten us at home since 2016.

This UNC hype is something else, breh.

This UNC hype is something else, breh.

I live 20 minutes from their campus and there’s more hype for them on this board than here

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

The potential scenarios I dream about involve a few Victoria’s Secret models and a tub of crisco, not Sam Howell and Mack Brown

OP- get tested asap, brother!

Manny is our coach

I agree. I was using them as a hypothetical as they are potentially the second best team in the Coastal. But unless Howell is equal to Prime Vince Young or 4th year Colt McCoy, Mack Brown is not getting anywhere close to the NC tournament. He could get the Tarheels to 9-10 wins; but that is his ceiling.

UNC will not beat Miami at the Rock.

as long as it isn’t 4th n 17

Good call. The best K&P is "Lightning in a bottle". Hands down the best!

They haven't beaten us at home since 2016.

They should beat us about once a decade or 15 yrs.

 

[JD08]

They should beat us about once a decade or 15 yrs.

So we're good for the next 14 yrs. I like the way you think.

 

[Miami[]_[]Smoke]

Unc would still get in over us, along with other teams probably. they beat us head to head With the same record

Let’s suppose Sam Howell is all they he is hyped up to be and more, and an unbeaten Canes slip up at home 28-24. Carolina is our only loss, and UNC goes 12-0 to win the division.

Miami goes undefeated the rest of the way to go 11-1. They fail to win the Coastal as UNC goes 12-0. Then the Tarheels get blown out by Clemson in the ACC title game.

Does Miami leapfrog UNC to get to the national championship tournament, presuming there is a spot for a 1 loss team?

With UNC losing Charlie Heck their starting left tackle it's going to expose Howell to a lot of sacks especially going up against us.

 

[canecrazy23]

UNC is a well coached team, but I don’t think they are good enough to go 12-0. They will be fortunate to win 10 games. IMHO, UNC has a lot of holes to fill on offense and defense. I like their QB, but not much else. UNC lost a lot of good experience on the OL and DL, and I am not convinced. I still like the Canes from a talent perspective. The Canes should win that game. It all depends on the coaching and player preparation

They lost their starting LT and that's going to hurt big time.

 

[imyrhuckleberry]

We are not losing to UNC this year . . .

 

[305407cane]

Unc is giving me Nebraska vibes. Freshman phenom quarterback. Good not great record and all this hype. I hope they fall on their face

Are they trending as a dangerous team in the future? Yes, no doubt. But....GR15 every down plus Roche and Phillips will give Howell and UNC fits like they've never seen. If it weren't for horrendous kicking, we win that game last year. Secondary will be more experienced, too. We've seen the kid before. He'll get his but we won't go down 14-0 right off the bat due to blown coverages. Bandy, love him, but he was horrendous that game.

And I didn't even mention King and Lashlee.

If if we have a loss prior to this game....we can and should win it.

Prediction: Miami 27, UNC 20. GR15 strip sack to seal game.
