We have a bye and 3 easy games before ND….

This is was our “dogfight” and we won 41-13. This was tougher than fsu or Pitt or unc

Wake was also a "dogfight" for a significant portion of the game.
We are good enough to run the table but this does not necessarily mean it is going to happen.
On any given day, a run of additional injuries, a series of officials making bad calls against our guys in a game, can wreck us.
It is easy to pick up a preseason mag and look at rosters and schedules and listen to the clueless idiots in Las Vegas, but that is not how it works.

NC may not be cake walk and we play them up there. Petino, like Brohm can scheme it up with the best of them. Their teams always been a pain to defend.

Luckily, we have a bye week before this run of three ACC games. This bye week will do wonders for the health of our team.

But we also have had games where we don't do well coming off bye weeks.

But we also have had games where we don't do well coming off bye weeks.

Regardless, this bye week is coming at the perfect time and I think we can all agree on that.

But we also have had games where we don't do well coming off bye weeks.

Agree that this has been true over Mario's tenure. BUT, at this point we have both the Jimmies and Joe's and the X's and O's. We have the talent, versatility, and coaching to exploit weaknesses in any conference opponent. Sure, injuries primarily, penalties, poor execution could de-rail, but injury is by far the biggest in-conference concern, imo.
