What about UNC makes you think they will be a challenge? Is it them needing 2 OTs to beat App State? Maybe the hype around Drake Maye even though hes thrown 5TDs and 4INTs this year? UNC has beaten a bunch of mediocre teams and not in impressive fashion.

Tyler threw for 500 yards on them last year and they barely beat us. And we all know how absolutely horrible of a team we were last year. I see no reason to believe our matchup this year will be competitive... I'd love to hear why you think it'll be a challenge though

You’re severely underestimating how good their Offense is & I’m guessing you haven’t watched them play this year.

They’re a very aggressive Offense that has a multifaceted attack in both the run & pass game & loves to stretch the field with the Deep ball.



Their WR trio of JJ Jones, Kobe Paysour & Nate McCollum will be a tough matchup for our CB’s to deal with, they’re all good route runners & they don’t drop passes. Plus they use their TE’s a lot in the seams as chain movers, another matchup that our LB’s & Safety’s will have to step up to slow down. Omarion Hampton is a good North & South runner that doesn’t go down on initial contact, he’s got good balance.

And if you’re just looking at flat stats it would be easy to attempt to downplay Drake Maye, but anybody who has actually watched him play (with objective eyes) will tell you he’s easily a 1st round draft pick & one of the best pure passers in College Football. His arm talent is spectacular & can hit every part of the field, plus he’s mobile enough to pick up yards with his feet when the pocket breaks down.

I understand the Super Bro homer take of thinking we’re just going to steamroll everyone & maybe we will, but I can assure you, if you think we’re going to go up to Chapel Hill & just beat’em without much resistance you’re in for a rude awakening my friend.

I’m not saying we won’t win or we can’t beat them, but from a matchup standpoint, they absolutely present challenges for our Defense & will attack our Secondary’s weakness. The DB’s will have to play at their best to keep them at bay.

Now one big advantage in our favor is their OL is fairly garbage, so we should be able to get after them with the pass rush & exotic look Blitzes we run, but we have to be careful not to be too Blitz happy because Maye is one of the highest graded QB’s against the Blitz.

All of this sounds good. I swear it really does. But you cant just act like "flat stats" arent the direct result of what's actually happening on the field. As good as you just made that passing offense sound, its culminated into 5 passing touchdowns in 4 weeks against mediocre teams who have a combined record of 9-11. Half of the games Maye has played this year hes thrown multiple interceptions. I do think hes talented, maybe a bit overhyped though.

I dont think we'll treat them like Bethune Cookman, but I do think we will control the entire game pretty handily. They still have to play the other side of the ball and I think if it came down to who stops who more often, we win that consistently.

Flat stats remove the context of situational circumstances that differ with each variable.

It’s the reason why people think LeBron is better than MJ without factoring the differences in eras, style of play, spacing etc. I digress, but the point is, if all you’re doing is saying that Drake Maye has only thrown for 5TD’s & 4INT’s, therefore he’s not that good or their Offense is not that good either, then you’re making a flat stats argument which leads me to believe you haven’t actually watched them.

You’re entitled to your opinion I got no problem with it, but I’m just telling you UNC will not be the walk in the park you think they are. We haven’t faced a passing attack this aggressive yet & it’s still unknown how our CB’s will handle a WR group that are big time playmakers. The margin of error will be far slimmer than what we’ve played through these first 4 games.

What situational circumstance is responsible for Maye and this high powered offense throwing 5TDs and 4INTS in the first 4 weeks?

End of the day, im sure we'd both be happy if im right and we handle them easily. We'll revisit this 10/14 evening.

I’m late, but this is disingenuous as ****. Had no idea Tez Walker would be playing and he isn’t mentioned AT ALL in any of the conversation we had. We had Maye in a box the entire first half and then he just started throwing to Tez and that was the “challenge”

The combo ACTUALLY mentioned in this convo, of JJ Jones, Paysour and McCollum had 73 yards combined the whole night.

I’m sorry Sir but you’re late and the response time has passed. You’ll need to wait until next year’s episode.

Let me know when you’re available for comment. Your boy Maye is average.

I don’t care about maye. I was supporting @Memnon ‘s posts which were right as usual. He said they’d torch our DBs and they did. You were arguing otherwise IIRC. Our secondary isn’t that good. It’s also Clemson game time right now so I care less about UNC

I was arguing that Maye and that UNC offense is suspect and it is. Neither were good VS us either, it was solely Tez Walker. And they were exposed tonight. Now back to the Clemson game we go.
