I missed the 4th quarter, but before that:

Plus:

+ Al Golden: Team looked really prepared today. Over the past decade this team usually starts to get full of themselves after a big win. They were definitely dialed in today.

+ Mark D'Onofrio: We held the #20 scoring offense to just 14 points, less than half their average. They did absolutely nothing in the 1st half. That's 2 great defensive performances in a row. Do it again November 15th!!!

+ James Coley: Great play call on the screen pass to Johnson. 3rd and 17 and Duke had a convoy to the endzone.

+ Duke Johnson: He's still running. Such a special player

+ Brad Kaaya: Really efficient game for him. No picks, and other Sunny Odogwu getting beat on the sack/fumble/TD, no issues with turnovers. Those throws to Walford for TD's were perfectly placed.

+ Clive Walford: 2 TD's and some decent yac today. He's going to get himself paid next year.

+Tyriq McCord: Had several sacks and put pressure on all day.

+ Walter Tucker: The block he made on the 4th and 1 TD by Duke gave me a semi.

+ Antonio Crawford: That guy he hit in the 2nd quarter was just pronounced dead.

+ Denzel Perryman: Layed big hits, made some crucial tackles, and got himself a sack.

+ Justin Vogel: He's been more than capable taking over for O'Donnell this year.

+ Joe Yearby: Showed some more flashes of what's to come when Duke moves on.


Even:

= The Offensive Line: We had another big game on the ground, but the injuries caused some reshuffling along the line and Odogwu gave up a sack/fumble for UNC's only score of the 1st half.


Minus:

Not a **** thing.

Full recap whenever.

+ Jim Kelly - everyone stayed in their seats to honor this great Cane

+ weather- holy sh*t was it not absolutely perfect out?
 
You forgot Deon, Tracy, Artie and Corn. Some good stuff from them. Especially Deon with the forced fumbles and INt.
 
+came out with foot still on gas in 2nd half...put it away
Darling and OL

-two weeks til FSU
 
Grace was nice. Gonna be a stud. Saw some good stuff from Owens too. Kirby a little quiet today but I believe he made a stop in the backfield too.


Trent Harris coulda had like 3 sacks today. Needs to lock qb up. But has potential.
 
Vogel is a ******* beast.

Every linebacker brought it today. Perryman was on another level, but Grace/Owens/Kirby all played well. Owens is going to be something else mane.
 
Dukes block on Walford big catch was nice too.


Good stuff today. Just want that same thing against FSU and I'm happy.

Anyone else hear the announcer say Walford was better all around than Jimmy Graham?
 
I'm gonna say it.

Plus for Corch DNo today. Lol he found some talent from somewhere (body snatchers, spirit possession, voodoo). These same kids with all the bus tracks on them are playing lights out defense! Old scheme bonfire on the IM fields tonight...
 
I thought Trevor Darling handled his first collegiate start very well. Has to clean up a few things but the kid has a nasty streak & mauls people. Big boy.
 
My only complaint is that we have not been passing the ball lately to our receivers and I know they can't be happy. Yeah having a dominant running game is great but you can't just abandon the passing game like that especially with the receivers we have

Jimmy is a PITIFUL blocker at TE, so it's not difficult to be a better "All-Around" TE, but Jimmy is also an unheard of weapon at the position.

Either way, Walford bouta get to the money.

Uh, yes we can...and we should continue to do so.

The leading receiver on the best team in the history of the program, had something like 640 yards.

We've ALWAYS been a team that runs it first.

Receivers need to continue to be unselfish and their opportunities will come the more teams have to stack the box against us.

I agree that Jimmy is one dimensional, though the most impressive dimension that position may have ever seen. I just thoughta it was cool to see Clive get some love like that. He's been a rock this year.
 
Im all the way with your analysis dan. That hit that Crawford made brought a tear to my eye, i have to say that our team had me feeling fired up out there today. Fsu fastly approaches and eager to see how that games goes. Great team win today, lets keep the momentum going.
 
+++ to Philip Dorsett

tough to play WR in this offense and know you won't get many touches. He's one of the best blocking WRs we have ever seen here and when you watch a Duke Johnson career highlight film, you are going to see PD A LOT throwing key blocks
