On to UNC

Listen, Sam Howell may be a highly regarded FR QB and he may have excellent skills, and he may end up having a great career at UNC, but our defense is going to kill him.

Like really. I don't expect him to finish this game.

I think they only have 2 scholarship QB's since Fortin transferred, they might have to finish the game with a RB at QB

This game will give us a glimpse of what to expect with this staff. UNC WILL follow UFs gameplan. Will Enos' gameplan look more like our opening drive against UF?? or the fourth qtr??

Miami players are ALL ****ed and angry at the loss to the Gayturds...
Manny said they were ****ed and angry, and he liked that. Attitude is we left our game out there. What is a better way to get that jazz back?
When our Canes cut loose it will be a **** of a game, and I will be there cheering on our Canes, and opening some 'WhopASSS"..
Payback from years ago, and put Mack Brown on top of that........we need to go beserko, and get all those feelings out.....
We are ready......

This has all the makings of a tough game, but it really is a must win.

UNC probably doesnt have a player that would start for us. They have won two ACC games over the past two years.

I just want to win. I will be impressed if we blow them out

This better not be the making of a let down we have not won anything yet to have let down games. If our kids fight like they did against uF we roll them

Florida Game is Over guys time to focus on UNC!

All these Florida threads making my head hurt it’s over we took a L let’s get focused on the next opponent.

We will see how UNC plays this week.

What do we know about Mack Brown coached teams?

What about Mack Brown?
He’s won a national championship and has won the Big 12 south division 6 times. He will definitely try to outcoach Diaz, the rookie HC, in this game.

What’s his coaching staff like?
Offense:
QB/OC Phil Longo Air Raid Only been coaching at the FBS level since 2017. Prior to that He had recording breaking QB play and offenses at every single place he has been. Spent his first FBS seasons at Ole Miss where he produced two top 10 offenses in both seasons across various categories. ( Coached Shea Patterson and Jordan Ta’Amu)

TE: Tim Brewster (Coached Algee Crumpler, Bo Scaife, Antonio Gates, Tony Scheffler, Nick O’Leary, Jace Sterberger)

WR: Lonnie Galloway (Great Resume lots of receivers that he’s produced from Tavon Austin, Kevin White, Mario Alford, Jaylen Smith)

RB: Robert Gillipsie (Sent 10 Running Backs to the NFL)

OL: Stacy Searles (we know the deal here)

Defensive Coaches:
ILB/ Co DC: Tommy Thigpen (Coached: Kelvin Hayden, Tommy Richardson, Durell Mapp, Bruce Carter, Quan Sturdivant, Marc Paschall, Josh Bynes, Craig Stevens, Darren Bates, Neiko Thorpe, AJ Johnson, Jaleen Reeves-Maybin, Daniel Bituli, Quart’e Sapp, Cole Holcrumb)

OLB/ST Scott Boone: experience low but produced some decent LBs at Arizona

CB: Dre Bly: First Coaching Gig. Was an all-pro corner. Could end up like a Mike Rumph of UNC.


S/ Co-DC Jay Bateman: First Power 5 coaching job. But had been coaching for 22 years at smaller schools.

Thoughts on coaching staff.
I think Mack Brown had a healthy dose of veteran coaches and new coaches on his team. A lot of these guys have developed a great deal of talent over the years. Mack Browns record alone at Texas was great and his last few seasons can’t take away from this guys accomplishments. His winning percentage was over .8 after seasons at Texas.

I think he may turn UNC into a regular 8-9 win team who can pull upsets and the occasional 10 win season here and there but they won’t recruit the guys necessary to make UNC nationally relevant.

UNC Roster Thoughts

QB
No idea how Sam Howell will look. I’ll be watching that South Carolina Game closely.

RB
Michael Carter was gashing us last year for some runs. Antonio Williams as well. They’ve good two good ones here.

WR:
I don’t recall these guys making any plays last year.

OL: Was horrendous and probably UNC biggest weakness.

Entire Defense against us last season was garbage.

Game thoughts new year new teams for both squads. I don’t think Mack Browns unit has the players to hang with us just yet. However those RBs were extremely athletic

Miami forced 6-7 turnovers and scored on 3 of them. It’s hard to repeat that effort. I don’t think UNC could be worse but I’ll go with a 35-20 type of win if UNC keeps the turnovers down and settles for field goals. They were driving on our defense, which as of now was better last season. Turnovers did them in and killed momentum.

But give me 35-20 Miami for this game. Also we had defenders bouncing off of their players last year. After the Florida game they may get lucky that way again this year and probably get a easy score or two like the Toney score. But the defense holds them up the rest of the game.

I’m thinking we win 31-10, UNC will struggle to score as will we but our defense will give us plenty of short fields to work with.
