Tar Heels versus Tigers official game thread

[strummingram]

well, then he throws THAT bullseye

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Turnover gives the Heels a opportunity--got to get 6 this time.

 

[strummingram]

TD for MW

 

[WoadBlue]

Technically, we are now back in it, thanks to Jones making a huge play on D.

 

[Littlejon]

Ok, I know MW has his faults, but THAT is one thing he brings to the table. Good run to get us on the board again,

12 points is not insurmountable!

 

[strummingram]

Here's where I really wish we hadn't gone for 2-pt conversion earlier

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Williams scores on naked bootleg and UNC is back in the game 35-23. Note Williams took a good hit on the score.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

U tell me to step away from the ledge because I say the sanctions have zero to do with this game? Check yourself there pal.

Depth has zero to do with the outcome tonight. We are simply outmatched man on man in a lot of key spots. Clemson is very good and we can't seem to maintain any drives on offense which is keeping our defense on the field for extended periods. We aren't getting a push on D which is allowing Watson to do whatever the hell he wants to do. Take that uphill climb into consideration and then we have a head coach who makes a fake punt call like that.....we need all the help we can get right now.

You're right in that depth had nothing to do with the fact that MW can't hit the broad side of a barn tonight but depth can certainly help protect him and depth can help keep the defense fresh. Depth isn't an excuse but it contributes to the lines on both sides getting gassed. Clemson is #1 for a reason and we are seeing why.

 

[TarHeelMark]

No we we should've gone for two there and try to get within two scores.

 

[KOOL123]

The boys are still fighting....,

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Gotta contain Gallman guys!

 

[gteeitup]

geeezus

 

[strummingram]

We need a turnover again... bad

 

[uncboy10]

Going to need at least one more turnover

 

[TarHeelMark]

D is exhausted

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Need a hold here defense

 

[HeelFan58]

Watson 1 run too many

 

[strummingram]

is that a fumble?

 

[Littlejon]

Ok, good to see Watson walking off. I want to beat them but don't want anyone hurt.

 

[TarHeelMark]

is that a fumble?

Looked like he was down

 

[strummingram]

I think the defense is out of gas now. I haven't seen them this exhausted all year.

 

[toophly1124]

All but knew that would be a run and they still get 10 plus .. Bugs me

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Tru I don't disagree that depth helps in football. My point is exactly what you just hit on. Our shortcomings in this game have zero to do with that. Line play, marquis Williams disappearing, play along, etc are much more relevant. Our lines on both sides have their hands full but they've also given marquis time on some throws that he frankly hasn't even been close on. Regardless, it's an uphill climb in this game. Our inability to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns killed us.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

One quarter to put it all on the line

 

[Littlejon]

Defense is looking gassed now. Call an is having his way every time he touches it. I sure would love a TO about right now.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Somehow we gotta hold them to 3, and still keep a sliver of hope alive.

 

[anon_i4zuby9r2e1zz]

hold them to a field goal, still will be a 2 possession game

 

[notashelbyfan]

D is tired

 

[uncboy10]

Tackle the ball. Nothing short of a fumble is getting us back in this game.

 

[notashelbyfan]

We need a turnover

 

[WoadBlue]

Our D is simply too tired now to do anything.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Turnover is our only hope here

 

[TarHeelMark]

Dag! A chance at a pick six

Alright, I'll agree with you there. It was going to take a nearly perfect game to pull out a win. So far, its been far from that. Marquise has played SUPER TIGHT all night.

 

[geo1464]

Great season to build on for next year never thought we would be here.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Clemson ' s sweep play has worked almost every time

 

[DeanFor President]

Just a little too fast for us. But we are close. Realllllllll close

 

[notashelbyfan]

Sorry QB play tonight has beat us point blank

 

[TarHeelMark]

Yeah something to build on. We were picked for what... 4th or 5th in the Coastal? Nobody thought we'd be here.

 

[HeelFan58]

Defense might as well not be on the field.
