Will Rick play scared against UNC?

Guarantee we run the ball on first two plays. See what happens and go from there. But I hope we spread it out more and have RBs catch the ball out of the backfield.

That would be a helluva start. 2 plays stopped at the line and then an incomplete pass in the flat to complete the 3 and out. Bright side will be the Vogel 70 yd punt.

This is an interesting game for a few reasons. First, Rick and our offense just got their asses thoroughly kicked. Second, UNC has had big problems stopping the run since last year.

Does Rick react by going in a shell trying to eat clock, lining up in a lot of I-formation, or does he come out guns blazing, spread em out and work the pass and tempo and run the ball from spread formations?

I hope he doesn't think he's just going to line up in I-formation and run it down UNC's throat because they have such a bad run D. I think we tried that last year and failed miserably. Pretty sure the teams who have had success running on them have done it more from spread formations than from I-formation tight sets. Baylor put 600 yards rushing on them out of spread sets in the bowl game.

I hope that FSU beating doesn't give him the yips and make him fall deeper into the dark world of conservative play calling.

Better hope like **** that the line does a better job and BK has early success or we're in for a ton of I-formation. I don't have a ton of football knowledge but it doesn't take that much to know to spread out the defense.
 
If the offense is struggling would Richt pulls Kaaya for Rosier? If Brad takes a hit to the head or throwing shoulder there may not be a choice.

You son-of-a-*****. Rosier?! Still refusing to give Ryan Williams his chance to lead us to greatness?!

MR needs to know when to run tempo.I just dont understand how you do it after a long drive against your defense.He got away with it vs GT,but fried the D versus FSU with his 3 and outs in 90 seconds.Balance!!!!!

Just got a little confused about which defense he was trying to tired out.

I doubt Rick pulls Kaaya. But he did play musical chairs with his QBs last year, so you never know.

Rosier? Oh, my mistake. I meant VT2.

Kaaya pulled early medically. Roiser throws two picks. Vinny Testaverde Jr saves the day with 4 fourth quarter TDs! One each to Coley, Richards, Njoku, and Hendron!

Wouldn't that be a great story?

I'll eat my words if I'm wrong, but 1st play will be a throw. NC expects a good running game from us. That said, I'd rather we win than worry about what the strategy will be.
 
Came to CiS and found exactly what I expected. The Hurricanes fan base is a bunch of bleeding vaginas.
 
Considering we haven't had much success running the ball out of the I, let's hope we see a ton of Kaaya in the 'gun. Walton and Yearby scored TDs out of the shotgun against GT, Walton's overturned TD last week was out of the gun. Let's at least keep them guessing.
 
Best thing we have going is that them goats slapped us in the face with their D!cks until they blistered. Errrrtbody should be foaming at the mouf to inflict violence upon them.

Why would it matter what the first play was?

If the defense keeps playing like it has, conservative play calling wins the rest of the games in the season. If Richt just calls three straight run plays in the red zone and kicks the field goal instead of putting ball in the air, Kaaya doesn't throw the INT and we win even with a godawful offense. It's boring and painful to watch, but when a defense is dominant, best way to win is not shoot yourself in the foot. I don't want to watch something boring but coaching 101 says winning is more important than being entertaining.

we're not beating VT or UNC with 19 on the board... IMO

I think Richt rebounds this week!

After his bad losses against UF, they beat KY Jelly like they stole something the next week!
