I’ll preface this by saying to refer to the thread title. UNC is/was the better team all around and in no way am I saying the below changes that. We are a flawed team in key areas.
I think back to 3 plays where luck went against us or the ball bounced the wrong way and it seems to happen way more against us than in our favor. That may speak to the coaching, talent, awareness, etc. but I think it’s worth noting.
Play1- First drive- pressure forces Maye to make a poor decision. DP2 is waiting like it’s a ******* a punt return to pick it off and try to take it to the house. JW comes flying in not knowing and tries to make a play. Ends up tipping it away. Loss of field position + points.
Play #2- Maye is standing in his end zone and Bain has a free run AT HIS BLINDSIDE. Maye holds onto the ball it’s a safety. But no, he fumbles in his own end zone and a UNC TE I believe picks it up and runs it for a minimal loss. 99% of the time in that situation it’s points for the other team be it a safety or TD for the defense. Loss of points.
Play 3- Poor snap to TVD, ball ends up at his feet with a RB standing next to him. 2 guys have a chance to fall on it. What happens? It gets knocked around and UNC recovers. Potential loss of points + field position.
Factor all the above in with the coverage busts, turnovers, penalties, etc. and you will continue to lose games in painful fashion. Not sure what the solution is but next week the season has a good chance of continuing its current nosedive trend.
