For the rest of this season, we are a 17-24 point per game offense against anyone with a pulse for a defense. We really just are.
We aren't winning a shootout against UNC - their defense is no worse than FSU's.
Their offense is much better than ours. Our defense may help, but will crumble late when we get behind and we've left them on the field too long, and the second loss looms.
We aren't winning a shootout against VT's defense off a short week and another home loss.
Taylor will eat us up enough and our 3 n out offense with frustration mounted penalties in all three phases will continue the crumble tradition.
We are pretty evenly matched with ND, and that ain't saying much.
UVA, PITT & Duke are our possible wins for the rest of the season. We'll lose at least one of those too, because Miami.
NCST? nope. They're jelling and no worse than FSU, UNC, VT on balance. We will be spent and probably have lost at least a few key defensive players to injuries at that point. The crumble will complete.
CMRekt, Bard Romo, No-line. Not a great formula.
Romo can please go pro this year.
So far, no good.
CMRekt was holding out on the playbook, LOL.
This game was THE test, even if FSU had been at full strength...which they clearly weren't.
That makes this situation even worse.
I wanted to believe, but the high ranking was eerily familiar.
We beat the cosmetology schools, handle the middlings early most times, get all swoll up, then exposed, then crumble...Recruiting suffers in a changed recruiting world where: our now officially ancient tradition means nothing to kids who want to play for real winners - so we scrap for a smattering of the talent pool enough to be dangerous, but never really deep..
If you want to call harsh reality jumping ship? Evidence speaks for itself.
If Al Richden proves me wrong in the next 4 weeks, I will eat my **** sandwich and take my drubbing.
If he don't, then I will be even more sad, but continue to love my school and the program, but temper any expectations for the future.
Same Old. Sh$% with a better looking defense. so far. Great.
you must see the world through a totally different lens then just about everyone else. The only reason we are a 17-24 ppg offense is because of the overuse of the RPO. if we mixed up the offensive play calling we can be a 30+ ppg offense. difference with UNC and FSU is that UNC and Miami isnt a rivalry so neither team will bring 110% effort like you would see from an FSU Miami game. ND isnt good and neither is NCST. VT is a quality opponent and we will see how we match up but we will lose alot more games then we should because of our offense as opposed to our defense like in the past
"The only reason we are a 17-24 ppg offense is because of the overuse of the RPO."
- yet you admit that we are a 17-24 ppg offense THROUGH the biggest symbolic, no holds barred test of the inaugural season of an offensive masterminded coach (with a virtually guaranteed coniuation of that vaunted prowess)... and see a big part of the problem with the cutesy RPO.
There's no indication CMRekt will deviate from its use, as he has a No-line, an immobile qb, backs who are really only capable of a few good runs per real opponent game, a team that still gets penalized for the dumbest S#$% at the worst times, and isn't nearly as gifted a playcaller as we wanted to believe with all our renewed hopes.
When I can predict our playcalls on the formations we line up in, you think Kellyesque defensive masteminds can't?
" we will lose alot more games then we should because of our offense as opposed to our defense like in the past" -
Agreed. and that still sucks.
UNC doesn't need to bring the same intensity as FSU did. They just need to play like they do. They can afford shootouts because they can shoot it out.
