The 9th ranked Canes should use the underdog status as motivation to go out and show the world and Virginia Tech that they have been disrespected and disregarded, and they can win. Believe it or not, I have seen some steady improvements in the Canes. On offense, the connections with King and the passing game are obvious. What isn’t obvious, is that I saw both King and Cam do a better job of running the IZ and OZ the way the RB is supposed to. This patience will pay off. I also saw some surprising changes in offensive play calling and scheme.
On defense, I really don’t like our scheme at all, and the players aren’t as good as they think. That said, I like the way the defense played in the fourth quarter when the Canes were down by double digits, and would like to see that particular defensive scheming more often during the course of the entire game, especially on third down.
One game at a time. We are 6-1, and haven’t put together a complete game yet. When everything comes together, look out
