UNC Massively Underperformed Week 1

[JD08]

I didn't watch. How long did they have their first team in?

 

[U Wouldn’t Understand]

I almost forgot, UNC just LOVES Corey Gaynor. He was a captain and their starting Center.

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

I didn't watch. How long did they have their first team in?

Almost the entire game.

We should win by 10+ at home, but obviously that’s not how sports work. They’re a thorn in our side

Don’t specifically know, but being that it was a 35-24 game going into the 4th, I’d say until the early 4th at least.

• Going into the 4th, UNC was only up 35-24. A less than two-possession game against FAMU.

So.. 11 points is a less than 2 possession game huh? Not quite 2 TD, but more than a TD and FG.

But yeah they didn't exactly look dangerous.

Technically it would be a TD with a 2 PT conversion and a FG lol

Here's the thing... that's who UNC is. They'll look really bad against lesser opponents and then do some damage to coastal teams. Don't take too much from week zero games

 

[JHallCanes]

Sam Howell was a problem for Mannys D

It won’t be an easy game but I don’t think we will have a problem in that one

Lol, by "damage", you mean like run for over 500 yards on them? What a nightmare that was.

 

[CaneInHeelCountry]

A big part of that is them beating us the past three years. Mack had Manny's number.

That, and they've recruited well since Mack's return. They've had top-15 classes the last 3-4 years, and have been ranked closed to us (sometimes above us) over the last 5 years or so.

 

[CaneMutiny06]

It was an embarrassing defensive performance given the circumstances.

I like Gene Chizik as a DC, but they’ve got a long way to go to shore up that defense. And frankly it’s bizarre because they’ve actually recruited pretty well on defense under Brown.

Their offense looks crisp and my guess is they’ll get enough out of it to be a 7-5ish team based on the schedule. Don’t know if the heel fans will be satisfied with that.

 

[Gables Canes]

UNC's defense looked like swiss cheese.

 

[88]

The fact Manny got pushed around by Brown... he's been horrible for a long time now.

 

[Ironmanfootball]

I thought the FAMU QB played very well for what he had to work with. He was a decent player.

Dude was MONEY putting the ball wherever he wanted with little effort. He looked really **** good.

 

[Allabouttheu95]

I think FAMU’s offense is going to light up HBCU’s but yes very concerning if I was heels fan given how much talent mac has accumulated defensively

 

[Ironmanfootball]

Week 0 games are stupid unless you're playing in Ireland or Hawaii.

UNC punted twice, no turnovers, I think 2-of-3 on 4th. Starters in until about 8m left?

Their D looked like Manny's- 1- a couple of dumb penalties on defense kept drives alive, 2- gave up some 4th downs, 3- not enough pass rush with the front 4 so forced to blitz and left MOF open for an avg QB to look like an NFL'er

To that point we are 11-14 lifetime against them. Outside of Manny getting smashed the last 3 yrs they’ve still been a historical pain in our *** and I have a hard time wrapping my head around this program having an overall winning rec against us given the amount of times we’ve played them… (add Maryland to that too 8-9 overall)

 

[JD08]

Almost the entire game.

They have App St, GA ST, ND, and VT between now and our game here in HRS.


This could be really good.

You're going back to the 60s and 70s for those all time head to heads

This could be really good.

And we get a bye before playing them that week.

Not taking them lightly but I think their streak against us ends this year.

It helps us that Diaz is living in Happy Valley this season. That's one thing we got going for us.
