Carolina vs Clemson ACC Championship game thread—Saturday 3 December

[blazers]

Too early to start talking "next year" but this is as good as a Longo offense will ever be. Amazing QB and a guy like Josh Downs, fine tween the 20's, but horrible in RZ vs decent defenses.

Downs is gone next yr, meaning we're gonna be mediocre unless Mack does something drastic on the D side of the ball.

 

[strummingram]

It might be premature at this point but I'm ready for a new HC

2nd that

It was a piss-poor gesture to begin with. He got NC HS coaches to like UNC again? Yay! When he's gone, then what?

Retread, nostalgia hires are rarely, if ever, a good decision. He gave them a little boost.

This almost looks worse than NOT going to the championship game at all.

 

[blazers]

LOL at your last sentence. UNC isn't going to do anything about it.

Women's soccer and lacrosse say hello.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Going to be tougher next year because senior receiver Greene will be gone and there is a very good chance Downs will be taken early if he puts his name in the draft

Yep... look at the last 3 games and how poorly the Heels offense has done in the RZ... it's been pathetic.

Maybe, but we are not far off.

Longo has to have superior talent to be successful. If he doesn't, then he just looks pretty average. His offense and play calling aren't good enough to out coach.

 

[strummingram]

Prediction: this team will look completely different next year and may not be for the good

What a change that will be for the fanbase that accepts mediocrity! lol

What the hell does that have to do with his post?

Major revenge.

 

[strummingram]

It's funny when I remember MB saying that "next year will be our year." Really? How? Your shitty coaches can't develop all this amazing talent you're getting. It's too easy for any decent team to scout your simple schemes.

 

[blazers]

Their backup qb finally has another incompletion

 

[strummingram]

I was afraid of a humiliation game... it's here!

 

[tarheel0910]

They've just given up at this point. Could at least play for pride.

 

[strummingram]

I have NEVER seen a more pathetic defense.

 

[gkss]

Mack is a class act-no question there. Great recruiter, program builder. He has done what they wanted him to do. He won’t be here too much longer. I appreciate what he’s done.

You have to have some of that in order to play for it

 

[uncboy10]

I'd take the ten million and go play for a competitive program.

Yea but can we get a good kicking game?

lol

I think Drake Maye's stock has plummeted in the last 3 weeks. No one is offering him $10 million bucks to come play QB at their college.

They are and they will. Give him an elite OL and he's the best in college football.

Nobody can look good at QB with a unit of matadors protecting them.

 

[strummingram]

The truth is... they were extremely lucky in every single game they won this season, and those weren't very good teams, either. They were even beaten soundly by a, supposedly, inferior team at home.

This season was a mirage. In fact, this whole Mack Brown 2.0 has been a mirage. I hate sounding like WoadBlue! dammit!

 

[strummingram]

Okay... well, then let him go and set records elsewhere. It will be BAU in Chapel Hill regardless.

very poor tackling in space, poor angles, and not physical up front.

 

[uncboy10]

Watching this game, I'd actually be surprised if he is back next year. He's risking his pro career by playing behind this line for another year.

With an "elite OL" most any QB can do well. Look at Cade Klubkin here! You think Clemson is paying him a million bucks?

 

[strummingram]

That ACC trophy looks like a friggin water fountain!

Don't we have a lot leaving after this year? It would be a different line. Still probably suck, but maybe not suck as much.

I'd actually be shocked if he doesn't play at UNC next year. That pick 6 alone was enough the say "I can't leave the team after that performance." The bowl game is probably another L

They always suck.

 

[strummingram]

I will say that I think Drake Maye absolutely SHOULD haul ass and play elsewhere. He's going to get killed if he stays at UNC.

This ruse of Mack Brown 2.0 is about to have the bottom fall out

 

[strummingram]

What a freakin' waste. They have played like fresh shit in August for 3 straight weeks.

At least this game was NOT close and not a nail-biter!

 

[gkss]

Reality is, Clemson is the more balanced team-and deeper too. Defense is good, and with a change at QB(which should have occurred sooner), they are a top 5 cfp ranked team- imo.

 

[tarheel0910]

From a purely business standpoint, Drake should skip the useless bowl and enter the portal tomorrow.

 

[uncboy10]

Tulane has a better football program than UNC

 

[strummingram]

I can't wait to see the players that "opt out" of the bowl game they ultimately lose.
