Look who they played against this year compared to last... they averaged over 430 yards and 33 points per game in 2014 so not that much of a big difference in their offense output to be honest. Their defense has improved though

As crazy as it sounds I don't think their O is what worries me. We have a great secondary and match up well with their strengthens.
Their D is what scares me. Chizik has them playing really well and down hill. Running game and attacking their blitz will be key. I think the energy continues and we pull out a tight one.

Yep. Their defense was in the 100s last year - this year? Right around 50.

Reasons I want us to win this one:
1 F()ck North Carolina - 'nuff said
2 F()ck Gluten - hope the world sees that we were a good team with a horrible corch who never gets a corching job again
3 F()ck the ACC - bunch of slack jawed fa@@ots
4 F()ck the rest of the country for hating on us.

Honestly they're defense is overrated. Their defense can't stop the run or get to the QB and they've benefited from playing an easy schedule. If we run the ball effectively and limit the number of plays there's no way they're going to score higher than 40.

Good point - but it's an incomplete picture with this season just over halfway over.

Al Golden gone, Fans still rooting against the Canes, I swear some of our fans should have left with Golden. Some of our fans are as worst as Golden is a Coach.

I was indifferent when the season started, if they lose one step closer to Frauden being gone. When they won I was happy with the win. However, now I want to win out and finish the season strong.

No one here is rooting against the Canes anymore. Their work is done. The worst head coach in UM history has been relieved of his duties.
The OP is simply saying that we will lose to UNC. I personally cannot disagree with him, although I'm not fully convinced we lose. UNC has beaten a good, ranked team on the road at Pitt and then completely dominated Dook. Moreover, I fully expect the tobacco road mafia to be out in full effect with respect to officiating. If UNC beats us this weekend, they likely end the regular season 11-1, with 11 straight wins. That will really add to the value of the ACC championship game, as well as give the ACC a little more credibility as a power conference. As we all know, the Coastal Division has sucked for a handful of years now.
I think the offense will need to score 45+ points for us to win. I'm just not sure our offensive coordinator has enough ammo in his ****nal for that to happen.

If party size Doritos are in the mix, I believe we're giving up 500 yards. We cannot line up in a base 3-4 with heavy *** LBs asked to guard large chunks of field. They're gonna be 4-wide most of the time and they'll be utilizing tempo against us. You can't ask a heavy front 7 to play at that pace. I think having them outside zone coverage against this type of offense that makes its living off of getting athletes in space is a nightmare.
If Scott can crush Doritos under his feet, and override him, we might win. Maybe Kareem finally choke slams Dorito and takes over. We need Chad and AQM at DE. We need two DTs on the field, and at backer just Grace and someone else.
Bring in a third corner. Play Howard, Burns, and Elder in a 4-2-5 package. Walk Jamal Carter down into the box on early downs and trust Deon over top and believe in your corners because they're really ******* good. If we can do this I think we got a shot. You can't sit back vs an offense like this. You've gotta disrupt everything they do and match speed with speed. Conceding chunks of field with lumbering oafs is a recipe to get drilled.
3 CBs.
Walk Carter up into the box to support the run/cover/add speed
Rush 4 let em get up field
Disrupt their rhythm and timing

Last year we scored 40 plus but you don't think we can with better qb clay better receivers against basically the same defense when you factor who they have played? Yearby had a 100 yard game against them too last year. Kaaya has better receiving options than he had last year by far with 3 receivers at or just about over 500 yards plus the emergence of the tight ends. They may have dominated Duke but the blue devils still put up over 500 yards and 30 plus points. Let's be real no matter how bad donofrio may be Miami is not going to allow for a qb to have 400 plus yards passing in the first half. We have very good corners and safetys. That simply won't happen..
