Other Games Week 10

[WoadBlue]

For the ACC, the most important is VT at Louisville, in a battle between 2nd place teams. That's right sports fans, all those who took comfort that Brent Pry could take a decade to dig VT out of its hole, because he certainly is no Mack Brown, either have not looked closely at the standings or else are now wide-mouthed in surprise. Without a single recruiting class to stand next to what Mack has brought to Chapel Hill repeatedly, Pry actually has the Hokies playing up to their potential - in the middle of his 2nd season as HC anywhere. And that is a most salient point in evaluating each coach: Pry right now in his 2nd season at VT still has less HC experience than Mack Brown had before he ever coached a down for UNC in first go around - when Mack led UNC to back to back 1-10 teams, worst in school history.

Of course, the Hokies have done something fairly common in ACC football history: win within the league and look like absolute crap vs. OOC teams. So VT being tied for 2nd in the ACC right now really makes the league look bad. And the fact is that now, easily the best thing for ACC football is for FSU and Louisville to win out and square off in the ACC Championship 12-0 vs. 11-1. If that were to be the case and UNC could finish 10-2, then UNC would get a bowl really worth playing.

 

[WoadBlue]

Dook and Wake slugging it out. Both D Front 7s are standing up blockers and making big hits. If our DL played like that, we'd have at least 1 more win.

 

[Kool1234567]

Rival game plus both QB are garbage

 

[sctarheel30]

Wake pissed that one away

 

[WoadBlue]

Dook hits very short FG with time running to win by 3. Dook is bowl eligible.

Also played last night was South Alabama at Troy. The two HCs, USA's Kane Wommack and, especially, Troy's Jon Sumrall, are G5 HCs being touted by many as perhaps ready for bigger jobs.

oldest is a junior at vatech…he could see an acc title game before carolina and that is wild af to both of us haha.

as soon as they made the change at qb, they’ve been better.

 

[WoadBlue]

BC hangs on at the dome to beat reeling Syracuse 17-10. Orange look headed of another losing season. Will they finally fire Babers? Can they afford the buyout and hiring a new coach worth having?

VY defense now looks good. That cannot be because of a QB change. It may be that it has taken Pry this long to undo what he wanted undone and then get in place what he wanted. And he now has. team playing well. Add better talent to that, and VT could be winning another ACC championship while Mack keeps talking.

 

[WoadBlue]

ND at Clemson starting now. Tigers have 10 guys who are on the 2 deep out of the game with injury.

 

[WoadBlue]

Clemson OL is anything but fully healthy, but it is pushing the ND DL off the ball.

 

[WoadBlue]

Tigers lead Irish 24-6 midway through the 2nd.

 

[WoadBlue]

2nd Half opens with ND getting away with very obvious PI. Then Come-on WR Colins is hot in the hands with a pass that he pops up into the air and is picked off by ND and run back to the 2. ND scores TD.

That is the kind of bad call followed by fluke that has killed Clemson all year.

 

[WoadBlue]

I do not care how many good plays Mafah makes, he is always just one more snap away from making really bad play to lose a game. Tigers up by 8 with ball on ND side of field. Mafah running and maybe a half yard short of 1st down. Loosely carrying ball and fumbles when hit. ND recovers.

 

[WoadBlue]

Ole Miss tipped TAMU's last second FG attempt to hang on to a 3 point win.

Arkansas upset Florida in OT.

Lucky for Mafah, the Clemson D again rose up and shut down ND to secure the W. Trotter was a beast all day.

 

[WoadBlue]

In the battle of Inferior Teams That Beat UNC, GT won handily over UVA 45-17.

 

[WoadBlue]

FSU leads Pitt 10-7 at the Half.

Louisville all over VT 27-3 in the middle of the 3rd.

 

[gteeitup]

mizzou would beat us and kick our ass…that just doesn’t sit right.

 

[gteeitup]

dpi and not dpi is wild…i’ve seen db’s look back and not look back and both or neither get called.

 

[gteeitup]

we aren’t ready for state at this point…they are way more physical and way more creative, on both sides.

something is really going to have to change to get these wins from here on out.

 

[WoadBlue]

Moo looks about to send Miami down to more defeat.

I was just thinking the same thing. Clemson's win over ND could fire up the Tigers to close out on a big roll. Same with Moo beating Miami. And if Leonard comes back for Dook, they too will have a big spark. And all 3 want to beat UNC badly.
