Our DL was just pinning their ears back and getting after Brice. Literally, did he throw it downfield more than 15 yards at all, aside from the late interception?Which is pretty much what OP is saying. Don't let our performance against Duke lull you into thinking UNC will be a cakewalk.
We're not to the point where we can drop a game and have all the talking heads say they just weren't paying attention. They'll say we suck and all our victories were flukes.
It was effective in stopping Duke, but you did see Duke gash us on the ground a few times cause of the lanes that opened up (Jennings is awful at the 2nd level... he is a poor man’s Pinkney, without the instincts. If he doesn’t make a play coming downhill and filling a lane, he is worthless). Phillips had a tendency to get pushed upfield past the QB, which will open up running lanes that Howell can take advantage of.
I’m happy that our young CBs got significant burn this game. Idk if Couch was tested at all. I kind of hope he matches up with Daz N all game. Couch looks to have the skill set best suited to slow Daz down. Blades and Ivey would get roasted.
