If we win 21 points instead of 28, is that struggling?
Nope.
Look at the schedule, moran.
We play our first ACC game in four days with only 2-3 practice days available.
If I was coach, my goal would be to control the game as soon as possible and get in all the 2nd and third teamers in as soon and as often as I could.
My goal would also be to get the first teamers out as soon as practical.
This game is not about “making a statement” or “showing Butchy boy up”. It’s about getting the W and resting the starters, preventing injuries, and getting ready for the ACC schedule.
It’s get the win and get ready for the meat of the schedule. If you don’t get that, you don’t get strategy. I could care less if we win by 22 or 52.
