How about some context?
We went in to Virginia Tech and beat one of our rivals. We dominated them offensively and defensively. We altered the scheme and played a more traditional version of our defenses. When we have done that, the defense does look top 25 caliber.
VT is bad and downright horrendous offensively. Brewer is not even a Kirby Freeman/Kyle Wright level QB, but it really doesn't matter. We blew them out from start to finish and they are a D1 team with a victory over Ohio State at Ohio State. It's as complete a win under Golden that we have ever had. There's pieces to be optimistic over. If the staff can show a final willingness to make changes, maybe they have finally learned their lesson. I know this was exactly what we fell for against Duke, but this is VT and that's a different animal.
I'm skeptical, as all of us should be, but this gives me at least a glimmer of hope that may very well blow up in my face but it's something.
North Carolina will have a similar caliber of athlete to us. Let's see how they do against a team like that.
