What a difference a year makes. 2-2 last year with an ugly win against So Miss, an ugly loss against Texas A&M and possibly the ugliest loss in memory against a bad Middle Tenn St team vs 4-0 with 4 solid wins from both sides of the ball. The 4 wins aren't the typical so so wins against lesser opponents. They are all solid. The A&M win was actually better than the score indicated. I am still proceeding with some caution but I am stepping on the gas a little more every game. LETS GO CANES!!!!

I don’t think we really know what we’ve got with this team, but it’s been a long time since we started this well. In the past we’d win this game, but there would be legit concerns. Today it’s what? I guess I would have like TVD to complete 80% against Temple. And fewer penalties. It really nothing to complain about, and that’s progress.
 
HC and the coordinators. They are absolutely on point and focused. Putting players in the right position, calling right plays at the right time, etc…..

Can’t say enough good things about Dawson and Guidry.

Just watching the game today, I thought the players had a little bit of a letdown or whatever you want to call it.

I’m the first one to blame the coaches and not the players. I thought the players were a bit sluggish today. First road game in miserable conditions. Dropped passes, misses tackles, low effort on some plays.

Mario and company were in complete control. Should have won 60-10, but still a dominating performance. If we played this same game last year, we win win 16-10

If they wanted too they could have gotten 55 today, Mario gave Temple a pass today

lol we're the same person. As you know for whatever the reason since year 1 and that is we have always struggled in the ACC
 
Texas A&M is the only test this team has seen so far. We blew out the other 3 like we’re supposed to. GT is a step up above those 3 but much lesser than A&M. UNC will be the first real test on the road. They have a top 5 pick at QB and we’ve struggled big time against them in recent years. If this team can get healthy and stay relatively healthy, 8-9 wins definitely is a possibility. Haven’t really proved much yet. Our offense definitely looks better no doubt. The secondary and pass-rush scares me the most on this team. Getting Kinchens back can help the secondary some but the corners definitely look suspect. No pass-rush against bad teams is scary. Mesidor and Deen should help but even without them, we should’ve been able to get consistent pressure. The DT group is definitely better than the edge group.

We need to play to our level rather than down to theirs. Story of our ACC existence.

8 wins is a huge disappointment at this point with the way we’ve played thus far. That means 4-4 the rest of the way.
