Defense is TRASH. We should put up 40+ without an issue. They will be one bad turnover away from getting run out of the building the whole second half. Save this post.

I think both teams score 40 at this moment. That could change depending on what I see from the Miami defense once we open the season.

UNC has Pre-season all American and potential 1st round pick in the 2021 draft in Chazz Surratt back for his senior season. A proven leader on defense and two decent recruiting classes. (I don’t follow UNC recruiting)

But I expect a very fun competitive game and hard rock stadium to be on fire!

For sure. I want a top game on Miami’s resume. We need the coastal not to be dumpster fire. Miami has a the outside chance at the playoffs.

In the playoff era I hope all the coastal teams are fringe top 25ish teams.

Hope UNC knocks off Auburn and then comes to the rock ranked top 10 and Miami beats that ***.

D line is gonna be young and unproven. LB is decent with experience. Secondary isnt great. They have a kid who transferred from VT to play corner but he’s nothing special. Wanna know how to get run out of the gym? Give King time and eventually have to blitz from the second level to get any pressure.

Not trying to put orange and green glasses on, but I think you are vastly overrating UNC. UNC was at home and required a miracle 4th down to play to beat one of the worst Miami teams in recent memory. UNC is coming back basically the same team, while Miami is much, much better. Between us and them, one of the teams has a QB with the 4th best Heisman odds. Hint- its not UNC.

I understand your point, but at the end of the season UNC would’ve beaten us soundly IMO.

I do think we beat them in Hard Rock.

It’s time for Canes fans to acknowledge that UNC is not going to be a cake walk. I fully expect our matchup against them to be for the coastal. We’ll both be in the top 20 by the time that game rolls around.

The positive is we get them at home.

I just dont get the FSU hype this year. Countless predictions of them beating us this year. I get Terry and Wilson are back but I dont see them being a factor at all this year.

Countless people watched us play last year with our new head coach....many don't expect much improvement, despite OR because of a new offense that will have to gel. When you can **** the bed against FIU and La. Tech....pretty hard to complain much about any prediction against you.
 
Last years great Virginia team the coastal champs get no respect. What a pathetic division.

I think the Hard Rock will be cooking and we roll, similar to the irish

The last game at Hard Rock will have been 3 weeks prior. Fans will be ready to see a game. I think your prediction may be closer than you might think, especially if we're both undefeated.

I just went to check out out their defense.
The linebackers appear to be studs and all upper classmen. Surratt, Gemmel, and Fox. (He was a DE but the injuries forced him to play LB.

Gemmel balled against Miami last year. Dude had 14 tackles. Fox had 3 sacks against us.

DL: SR Tamon Fox? Overall a weaker DL.

LB: SR Surratt, JR Gemmel, SR Fox ? (Dont know if LB or DE but still a stud)

DB: This is a very experienced group.
SR DJ Ford. Returning starter.

SO Storm Duck returning starter

SR Kyler Micmichael, Top 50 overall prospect. 8 corner in class of 2017 from Clemson in the transfer portal.

SR Patrice Renee tore his ACL against Miami.

SR Myles Wolfolk balled against Miami. Suffered a season ending injury in week 4 also returns.

Renee and Wolfolk were doing pretty good against us.

Overall
They’ve got one **** of an experienced back 7. Some solid starters. For the ACC. They had all those injuries on defense is probably the only reason they went 8-5.

They are probably going to land preseason 15-20 range. With a matchup against top 10 Auburn in week two to show who they really are. Beat AU and I think we got a solid group coming to town.

So two DBs who have legit experience and then two guys coming off terrible injuries. One guy who hasn’t proved anything at the D1 level. And another who was average at VT. I see your point but by any standard that is a very sketchy backfield.

I haven’t been impressed any their LB play outside of Surratt. And like I said about the D line is they are very inexperienced and don’t have any proven talent.
 
2020 UNC schedule
Game 1 @ UCF
Not a slouch team. They get to face off against another super sophomore QB in Dillon Gabriel. That boy won 10 games as a true freshman. This low-key is a good game for both teams. UCF has 17 players on the pre-season All-AAC team. Probably going to open this as a top 25 matchup between the two. UNC is likely to be 15-20 range. UCF probably in the 20s. This game should tell me all I need to know about UNC football for the season. Regardless of what happens at Auburn.

Game 2 Vs Auburn in Atlanta (Auburn Home Game)
If they beat UCF they get the opportunity like Oregon had to beat what is likely a top 10 Auburn team. Can they do it? Or will they ruin it like Oregon? Is Bo Nix that good? All these get answered during this game.
Game 3 vs JMU W

Game 4 vs GT W

Game 5 @ UVA W
Bryce Perkins was a stud. UVA has a solid OL coming back and solid LBs. But no QB = L to me.

Game 6 vs VT W
The strength of VT this season is the defense and specifically the back 7. They have a QB who doesn’t turn the ball over and is efficient. The difference is they get VT at home. If this was @ VT I’d call the upset in Blacksburg.

Game 7 @ Duke W
No QB. Crappy team.

Game 8 @ Miami L
Battle of the coastal. L to Miami at home.

Game 9 vs Uconn W

Game 10 VS Pitt W
Pitt will be solid this year. SR Coming back. I’ve giving UNC the benefit of the doubt at home. If this was away I’d say a L.

Game 11 @ Boston College W
Losing AJ Dillon is a blow. Scrappy team. They have another very good RB though. I think 2020 UNC May have the confidence flowing and go up there and win.

Game 12 vs NCST W

My thoughts on their schedule. I believe they will be a good team this year if the hype and Sam Howell is the real deal. I think he’s legit and legit QBs don’t lose the toss up games.

They are outmatched talent wise at Miami and Auburn. I see them anywhere from 8-4 to 12-0. How they handle the first two top 25 games which are very tough. Will show me what they are made of. Win the first two I think they are going for 10 wins. Lose or split the first two and they could go from 8-4 to 9-3 IMO. Still a solid ball club.

Not going to crown them until after the AU game.
