The battle of the Blues game thread: Duke vs UNC—Saturday 2 October 2021

Catch the ball walston

 

[strummingram]

Total head-scratcher play call

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nice scramble by Howell for 8 yards but a failed third down pass results in another Tar Heel Punt and Duke has the ball again hoping to get even closer.

 

[strummingram]

Need that TO

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

On a tip pass Kelly intercepts for Carolina as the defense steps up yet again

 

[sctarheel30]

Anyone in the stands that can somewhat block come down please

 

[strummingram]

complete waste of an offensive series

Sam never gets rid of the ball

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Offensive line has not opened many holes nor have they protected Howell who continues to take needless sacks instead of throwing the ball away. Carolina is forced to punt again after the turnover and great field position yields negative yardage.

 

[strummingram]

UNC is consistent... they cannot play 2 halves with the same amount of success.

 

[uncboy10]

Need to hurry up and put this one away

 

[strummingram]

Good stop by the defense!

 

[sctarheel30]

Good stand D

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Duke gets a quick 4 first downs but on 4th down Moore is stopped cold as the defense bends but does not breaks. Kudos to the defense…

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Offense has been AWOL this half. It is time to have a time consuming drive to eat up the clock

 

[strummingram]

That's gotta be the 3rd or 4th missed receiver

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

A Carolina first down finally

 

[strummingram]

4th sack for the dookies

 

[strummingram]

5th sack, back-to-back sacks!

 

[sctarheel30]

Sam doesn’t even have time to try and throw it away. Damn oline y’all suck!!

 

[uncboy10]

At this point, I'm almost relieved by how bad the OL is. There's no gray area left. I can't see any possible way Mack doesn't fire Searles.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

No protection leads to two more sacks on Howell who will need the whirlpool after this contest

 

[strummingram]

This team is maddening!

 

[sctarheel30]

Dline looked good there

 

[strummingram]

Give that Heels' D line some credit!

 

[strummingram]

Cutcliffe loves going for it on 4th down!

 

[gteeitup]

i’m late to this party…should’ve stayed at the restaurant with the view i had.

how’s the o-line look?

I think they've switched centers 3 times, I heard.

 

[strummingram]

I realize it's just the 4th quarter, but I never imagined that UNC would hold a team to only 7 points in 3 quarters.

 

[sctarheel30]

Good lord everyone moved except the center lol

 

[sctarheel30]

If Howell makes it through the season healthy it will be a miracle

 

[uncboy10]

I think DJ is gonna be really good if we can put a decent OL in front of him

 

[strummingram]

DJ Jones made a good little run, there

 

[sctarheel30]

Has hood played today?

 

[sctarheel30]

I think DJ is gonna be really good if we can put a decent OL in front of him

Reminds me of javonte

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Defense again holds

 

[strummingram]

If Howell makes it through the season healthy it will be a miracle

I don't understand most of the times they run him.

 

[sctarheel30]

Wow under the center….where’d that come from lol

 

[strummingram]

THERE WE GO!!!!

 

[uncboy10]

Reminds me of javonte

Similar physicality for sure. Obviously we don't quite have a large enough sample size yet, but he could very well end up that good if it stays hungry in the weight room.

Nice run by Chandler. Wish he would've just come here out of high school... Doesn't seem like the type to skip a bowl game...

 

[strummingram]

It's amazing how the line looks totally different from one series to the next.
