Throw a damn rub route. If they call the penalty then you kick it and tie the game.
The defense was amazing today against the #1 team. I don't agree with a 2pt conversion at the end. But, it's over now. I never expected to even have a remote chance at beating this team. I hope it lifts the spirits and confidence of the team, as a whole. Another huge game next week.
Reminds me of the 1981 game, we lost 10-8Man this one stings a lot having been so close

With better offensive play calling this team could be 5-0 with a win against the #1 ranked team in the country. Give Bateman a huge raise and find a new OC
I dunno if the defense could have held them from scoring again with the amount of time that was left. But, in my opinion, the game can continue if you tie it up. It cannot continue if you're behind at the end of regulation. I'd rather force Clemson to beat us in OT.
I guess it's 6-of-1/Half-dozen the other, but, I would have opted for OT.
I dont have a problem with going for 2, but I hated that option play call. Pathetic way to lose. Let Sam throw the ball - his strength.
I know. To get to how awful it was, you need a whole long paragraph.I have no words to describe that play call.
The Yahoo! Sports Front Page has Clemson & UNC "Clemson survives BIG SCARE by UNC!"Sorry for venting here but it’s either this or a trip to the store to pick up a lot of beer. This sucks. At least we’ll be getting positive press for the next week as people talk about us hanging with clemson. Analysts are already talking about how bad that play call was.
Newsome and Brown are both quick as cats. Corrales is 6-4 and can catch in traffic. Bargas can make tough catches.Not a bad thought

Next year, the D, with several freshmen on the 2-deep, is going to be a beast.Agree we have to keep Bateman.

Roll Howell out and turn him loose.
Yeah, it does. But, put this in perspective, here. NO ONE expected the slightest possibility of that ending. I was hoping they could keep Clemson scoring under 40 points. If someone had told me that it would be tied with under 2 minutes, I would have considered it manna from heaven. If the little loose-ends can be tied-up, it will be fine. I'm more optimistic after this game than the last 2 games!!!Hopefully recruits will be thinking they could be the difference in losing by one vs beating #1.
Dammit this sucks

I am too. But it also makes the losses to wake and app seem silly. If we were 4-1 with a one point loss to clemson then we would be hands down favorites to win the coastal and probably be on course for a really solid bowl appearance. I guess this still proves we can win the division but it’s hard not to think about what could have been.
we just spent 3 hours trying to shorten the game, we can't get into a shootout with clemson, go for two.

It's still not very far from that being the outcome. Wake is for real this season. App State... I still don't understand that one. I bet ASU is in a bowl game!I am too.

Howell had a rough game and it was still close. I'm a "defense first" kind of person. I'd much rater have the best defense than offense. To be able to keep Clemson to 21 points is pretty damned good.
If anything, it looked more like Clemson isn't all that impervious and indestructible, by a long shot.
Dammit this sucks
Especially when you think about the missed opportunities we had.
An onside kick recovery away from a second chance too.
But with a much better play called.we just spent 3 hours trying to shorten the game, we can't get into a shootout with clemson, go for two.
I think the 2-point play was Longo trying to out-smart Venables, like Vizzini in The Princess Bride. I think Longo thought that Venables would first plan to stop Howell passing, and then Venables would think that Longo was trying to trick him, so then Venables would focus on stopping Williams from running between the tackles, with a secondary focus on preventing anybody open in the end zone.I listened to the game on the NC radio network because of travel. But, the play-calling had to be okay if the Heels were even within reach to win it at the end. There was no room for error to beat Clemson, and that last play-call was an error, apparently, I only heard it, I didn't see it. I was kinda ticked-off that they even chose to go for 2, but figured "wth, do or die!"
