Tar Heels vs. GT game thread

[WoadBlue]

Elliott back in because Ruder went to the locker room.

 

[KOOL123]

Radio saying Ruder in the locker room

 

[WoadBlue]

Jump ball - and ARW comes down with it.

 

[WoadBlue]

Brown running like a beast levels a Jacket DB.

 

[KOOL123]

I have never seen a team have so many injuries the last 2 years...End of the day this has to go back to the strength and conditioning coach....

 

[WoadBlue]

Settle for FG.

We had a number of injuries in 2013 and 14, I think. I linked to an article back then on the Stanford S&C coach who had very low injury totals every year.

 

[WoadBlue]

DL looked like Clemson on that 4th down.

 

[WoadBlue]

Carter breaks one all the way to the 2.

 

[WoadBlue]

That should be over ruled and called a TD.

 

[WoadBlue]

Fedora always out smarting himself.

Elliott should have passed to Tucker

 

[WoadBlue]

Antonio Williams TD run.

 

[WoadBlue]

ARW is mugged, but he still makes the catch.

28-28

 

[KOOL123]

We never get a review

 

[KOOL123]

Game on now

 

[KOOL123]

Fumble Fumble

 

[WoadBlue]

Ruder in a sling.

 

[WoadBlue]

Fumble Fumble

You called it.

 

[WoadBlue]

Holcomb has caused 2 fumbles. If we had 3 more like him, our D would be very good.

 

[WoadBlue]

Tucker fights to make that a 1st down catch.

 

[WoadBlue]

Should have thrown to Bargas, who was open.

 

[WoadBlue]

GT gets this 4th down and then takes it in.

35-28 GT

 

[KOOL123]

Ballgame

 

[WoadBlue]

Fedora finally plays freshman QB to see him look very good, and then get injured.

Fedora is cursed.

Just UNC football brother...

 

[WoadBlue]

Holcomb is a superstar.

 

[WoadBlue]

38-28 GT

Let's see if we can score in 50 seconds.

Words cannot describe how bad Nathan Elliott is. I know I know he is a good kid and nice young man and yadda yadda yadda. He CANNOT play QB at this level He just is not good enough and this being Carolina we HAVE a kid come in ,Ruder, who Rallies the team ad shows some promise and BOOM HE is out and in a sling. Bring on Kudzu Elliot... he just will not go away .....and Boom again the critical error and then another critical error and another loss. There was glimmer of hope and I know our d cannot stop a cold but we seemed to have a decent chance at this game. But alas this is Carolina football... finding new creative ways to lose every week

The 3 TOs you created nearly got it done. Tough game and when you can give up 460+ yds rushing and almost win....well....there's some positives within. Good luck rest of the season!

The best luck we could get is Fedora fired.

The ACC needs GT to become bowl eligible, and beat UGA.

On the bright side, Ruder looked good. Between him and Fortin our QB situation looks like a bright spot for the future. I just wish the staff would have gotten them some playing time sooner. We might have another win or two.

Honest question and I’m not trying to pick fights. But how would you have handled the QB situation this year?

 

[tarheel0910]

I would have started with Elliott probably, but once it was obvious that he was an ineffective QB, I would have made a switch. You could tell Elliott wasn't going to be the guy in the first half of the Cal game. As far as Chazz, I didn't see anything special from him last year and the shoe thing didn't help. If the freshman that replaced Elliott was playing well I would have kept Chazz out. I might have tried to work him out at another position though.

So roll with Fortin from ECU on?

Yes. Assuming he looked as good as he did in the VT game.

The first 3 quarters at Cal, the entire offense looked hopelessly inept. The Occam's Razor: bad coaching.

 

[ticket2ride04]

Interesting. I’d say Chazz looked better last year than Fortin did against limited reps against a bad VT. I still would have held out for Chazz. But with this team’s luck they would all of gotten hurt one way or the other

 

[uncboy10]

Pull Elliott's scholarship and let him know he will never play another snap at UNC after 2018. Inform Fortin and Ruder that they will be battling it out for the starting job in 2019, and hope they don't transfer out.

 

[TarHeelMark]

is Fortin done for the year?

What unbelievable bad luck we have. Two freshman qb that show promise and they both get hurt in their first game. Unreal.

 

[Realfreedom]

Play calling with Elliot is garbage. We know his limitations. Stop running the option or QB draw with the kid. It all falls at the feet of Fedora.
