Easily one of the most experienced teams in the country. 5/6 of their receivers are at least 3 year players with 2 seniors and a fifth year. 4/5 of their starting o linemen are at least 3 year players with the only other one being their sophomore center. Tight end is a 5 year senior. QB is a 5 year senior. Running back is a junior who is backed up by a 5 year senior. 2/4 in their d line are 5 year seniors with the other two being a junior and a true frosh. All but one of their starting dbs are 4 year players and that one guy is in his third year. They only really play 2 freshmen overall. What they lack in true talent they make up for in experience. Great roster management over there that we should look to achieve in our future by keeping players around for a 4th and 5th year because it obviously makes a difference. You cant keep losing good players just when they are starting to become studs. Gonna be an interesting game because this team likely wont beat themselves.

The “won’t beat themselves” narrative has been popular because you assume Bronco is a good coach (and he is) but pretty surprisingly they have one of the worst turnover margins in the country so far and also 68th in penalty yards per game.

If the ACC wants them to win, you can bet their penalty number will be greatly reduced.

VT had one of the worst as well. That worked out well for us.
 
Contrast that with us:
44-true or RS freshmen
35-true or RS sophomores
17-true or RS juniors
13-true or RS seniors

Of the seniors-7 are starters (Finley, Shaq, Pinck, Osborn (only offensive senior starter) bethel, Patchan, hill)

IMO, when Manny refers to the “disease”, a big part of this “disease” is the culture UM football created starting sometime in the 2002-2005 seasons. We created a culture of “selfish” players, meaning players that only wanted to use the UM name as a jumping point to get to the league.
