Miami opens as 11pt favorites

We get a long week, game is at home and UNC has a defense that couldn't stop an offense with this kid at QB

UNC is horrible, but that number is huge given the fact that their strength matches up against our weakness. That number should come down as time goes by.

What does that mean? What you huh'ing? If it's the strength v. weakness, they are a good passing team with a mobile QB. We have had trouble stopping that sort of offense ever since Folden's been here. We've yet to face a diverse offense like that this year.
 
UNC

Scoring Offense: 37.4 PPG (20th)
Total Offense: 442.5 YPG (47th)

Scoring Defense: 41.3 PPG (125th)

I don't get it either. They don't run the ball especially well, and they are terrible at stopping the run. If anything, I'd say it's a plus matchup. The opposite of Nebraska.

Remember last year when everyone thought our defense was so much better early in the season? Then, we faced some teams who could pass the football a little bit, and they started gashing the **** out of us. This is a diverse offense with a mobile QB. That's the type of offense that has killed us in the Folden days.

If we bottle them up, then I'll buy into the improvement of the defense. Not buying into Folden, but if we bottle up UNC, then I'll buy in that the defense is greatly improved.
 
I keep saying, Vegas seems to have us pegged. The line has moved significantly in several of our big games and aalways in the direction of the winner.

Nebraska, Louisville, Duke, GT, and VT all had opening lines that swung +3-5 points during the week that ended up being the right direction.
 
I hate double digit favs with Gorlden as corch. Would be nice if this moved under 10 pts.

We should beat them and out gain them by around 100yds. I just don't think that will translate into more than a 8-9 point win.

This will be a very interesting game. We should score 50+ on this D. The thing is will Coley slow the game down to protect our D.

Will UNC stack the box and make Kaaya beat them. Chess or checkers. We will see.
 
I think we continue to showcase duke like Thursday night. Meaning sustained drives taking up a nice chunk of top.

This will be a back and forth game but lower scoring than most think. I really don't know what d will show up, or rather if the balls to call an aggressive game will, but man it would be nice to go into the bye with a repeat performance from the d. It would make the 11/15 game much bigger.
