Mike Ryan predicting us to lose again before the ACC CG?

Do you feel it was a big game minus the title? They pulled one out against the might cavaliers of Virginia... I get it. **** pathetic we've been in this **** conference as long as we have and don't have a title to account for it. You people can think what you want of elko at asstomouth but in the ACC he was in the running yearly at puke and left them with a decent squad. Mandy left us with ****. If you don't realize that or don't believe it than you're just lying to yourself. We had a DEAD PROGRAM prior to Mario getting here. Now people wanna say Mandy can atleast win the big games... ***** pathetic

In the running for what yearly? Elko/Duke finished 6th in the ACC and won 4 games in the conference the year before he left. In 23 it was FSU, UL and no one else.

Manny was our worst HC. Worse than AG and Shannon and I’ve maintained that every time the topic came up, but he won the ACC - the same thing we are desperately trying to do for the first time ever. We’ll see how big of a game it is in about a month if we make it there.

Won the ACCCG with 5 losses.

Don’t know enough about VT to say much. Watching Duke. If we lose to them at home, it means we probably went -3 in TOs or some obscene, God forbidden injuries happened. I think an aggressive Dawson with the right personnel groups can do work against Duke *with Nickel under center*.

If they commit to numbers in the box, they don’t have enough DBs to win matchups unless we are tunnel visioned.

If they stay relatively even in the box and play wild across gaps trying to wreak havoc, Fletcher and Mallory will do to them worse than I watched GT’s Maddox run on ‘em.

I like the math for this game. Of course, anything is possible and sometimes we’ve sucked at basic math.

Thank you - all makes sense.

I would love to get up on them early (e.g., 14-0) to be able to dictate pace and force them into pass situations/take them out of their heavier-run lean, if possible. On your Nickel point, it would be great if we could get guys rested in the fourth quarter of this one (wishful thinking, I know).

Know we have the stench of a loss on us currently, but if Mario truly learned anything from SMU and Louisville last year, is that it's time to let it rip - whatever that means in the context of this year's team. Here's to being able to do basic maths.

Congratulations to him are in order for that big time win against the PowerHouse Virginia team... I've got a crazy feeling that if that used car dealer had the opportunity to go to the national championship he probably switches roles. I guess clearly he's a far superior coach.

lol I wasn’t saying he’s a superior coach. He’s right where he should be. But we better not sleep on him. The way this defense is playing, anyone can beat us unfortunately.
 
This team's overall response to losing Toney I thought was quite good. Came out flat for sure, but the response all game was good. If we think the ND loss is more of a letdown, I don't think so. I think we come out prepared on Saturday for the noon kick

We're about to play two teams that are a combined 13-5 with 4 of those losses being one score. Believe it or not, we're not at the coasting stage of our schedule. We're at the toughest part. Everything is on the line in these two games.

Miami better play like they're trying to get into the ACCCG game and playoff and not like they've already been earned, because they haven't.

They could technically still lose one of their last 3 and still get into the ACC championship. Personally I think we run the table.

Lu, does VT matchup better against us? Know Duke's strength is our strength in run D, but is there something VT has shown that's giving you more pause (acknowledging they just got beat 51-28 by SMU but I haven't had a chance to watch the game, so genuine question on where they could potentially be able to twist the screws on us)

Experienced QB who will likely have his best game v our D
That right there is enough to get my attention!
