I know TVD’s performance is overshadowing everything else, as it should - he was terrible. Realistically, man should have like 10 INTs in the last 3 starts. But we need to give the defense more credit imo. Given that our offense did them no favors, AND the tempo that UVA was using on top of that, those guys battled all game. We were great in the redzone, our DL was relentless getting penetration in the run and pass game, we didn’t give up too many explosive plays, and we got after their QB.
Some guys that stood out to me: LT got penetration often, Deen played well and brings a lot of maturity to that DL, Jayden Wayne got in the mix on some passing downs which was great to see, Kiko was awesome, JW came up clutch on some tough tackles limiting big plays when it mattered most. Let’s not forget that a BIG reason we won is bc of Kam’s pick six, absolutely massive play when we needed to build momentum. And lastly - Reuben ******* Bain. Have you seen a better freshman regardless of position here recently? Ahmmon was up there, but this dude is DIFFERENT.
Big s/o to them and Coach Guidry. We are by no means perfect - that first drive was unacceptable. Our corners leave a lot to be desired. We also NEED to fix our issues defending against tempo, but that’s also magnified when you have to keep getting back on the field bc of your offense’s deficiencies. But overall, their resilience and toughness can’t be overstated. Sidenote: Andy Borregales is a BEAST.
We found a way to win and that’s something a lot of teams in CFB struggle with. Tough decision coming up for Mario regarding TVD and our offense, this is a hinge point in our season now coming into November with a tough slate of games. I say give me Emory and maybe work in Jacurri on run downs with the occasional screen or RPO mixed in. But more importantly, give our playmakers the ball in space - we NEED to target 0, 4, and 3 more. Ray Ray needs more burn too, he’s shown it on ST, give him more pt and let him cook.
We are not perfect at all, but we’re now bowl eligible and that’s already an improvement from last season (sadly). Let’s enjoy this victory Sunday. Keep fighting and GO CANES!
