Tar Heels vs. Yellow Jckets game thread

[bobby121567]

Must agreed cannot blame the refs for this serious rear end beat down. The refs did not cause the penalties, the refs did not drop the passes or throw bad passes, and the refs did not give up 8 and 9 yards a carry to the triple option. Tech is just taking to the Heels. I do not care who the QB is because if the defense can't stop the Tech's offensive machine it does not make any difference. UNC just needs to score and regroup at halftime.

We get y'all's point about the refs. But if they make the right calls. We at least get a FG on that first drive. And if they call one of the block in the backs that was clear as day. They they are at 2nd and 15 to 20 and have to throw. Maybe we are up 17-14 at half. Non calls do matter. Yes we are getting are asses handed to us. At least the kids haven't given up like I did.

I gotta say... that GT punter was the most amazing thing I saw! How that kid kicked that ball 50 yards is a mystery.

 

[TarHeelMark]

halftime adjustments... this is where you earn those dollar bills, Mr. Chizik

adrenaline rush?

 

[HeelFan58]

We are averaging 8.1 per carry????

 

[berry30]

I must admit, it was looking pretty bad for a bit there. Offense needs to give the D a break and let them rest by getting first downs. 2nd half should be Hood, Hood and Hood. Don't fix what is not broken.

Go Heels!!

 

[TarHeelMark]

why does Switzer not return kickoffs as well?
Is it that much different between punts?

 

[TarHeelMark]

ripped the helmet off... 15 yards! hellyeah

 

[WoadBlue]

A penalty on GT?

 

[strummingram]

We have a chance in a shoot-out... it didn't look like we were going to counter with our own scores

 

[TarHeelMark]

dang! just about tied it up...

 

[TarHeelMark]

21-17.... c'mon D, you have to prove your worth now. MAN UP!

 

[WoadBlue]

MW shown for what he is on that possession. He ran well, and he missed a wide open Howard, and he also overthrew Davis in the end zone.

 

[geo1464]

He was open dam

 

[bobby121567]

Good to get points. But we needed a TD there. I may end up drunk by the end of this game. And my Carolina football is going to be flat. Hope we made some defensive adjustments

 

[strummingram]

oops...

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Good guys open up the 2nd half with a field fg so it is now 21-17. Now it is time for some serious defensive adjustments.

 

[berry30]

??????

 

[strummingram]

Onside kick???? Fedora... PLEASE!

 

[TarHeelMark]

I hope like hell that I'm wrong but that onside kick is going to bite us in the butt.... not a good gamble when we have some momentum

 

[gteeitup]

so we run the ball to control tempo and get back in it...then we throw it around and now settle for 3.

surprise onside is a pretty good call...i might have called it later, but still showing confidence in staff/team.

 

[bobby121567]

Look at that lucky shit.

 

[gteeitup]

and they keep running downhill

 

[strummingram]

I hope like hell that I'm wrong but that onside kick is going to bite us in the butt.... not a good gamble when we have some momentum

Going to? It has bitten. That is a prime example of how that coach is a liability.

 

[TarHeelMark]

I know this is simplistic thinking here but we have 11 and they have 11, so why do we keep biting on the pitch man and leaving somebody wide open? Put a hat on a hat...

 

[CREST1983]

GT is a bunch of punks...they don't block straight up they go for the defenders legs! Why is this not a penalty when they go down at the defenders legs and hold them by their ankles

 

[TarHeelMark]

Look at that lucky shit.

almost every GT pass completion is some form of lucky BS... gawd I hate that shitty offense of theirs

 

[WoadBlue]

Crap - when Thomas can complete a TD pass

 

[BillyL]

Well, that sucks . . we sure as hell made it easy for them.

 

[strummingram]

Johnson could beat Fedora blindfolded.

 

[TarHeelMark]

yeah, that onside kick was a real smart gamble now, wasn't it? we just gave back all the momentum we had by giving them a short field.... damn that was stupid!

 

[CREST1983]

Johnson could beat Fedora blindfolded.

I hate to tell you that is Ciziks defense that is getting shelled...not Fedora

 

[berens007]

I don't hate it - not like we look like we would have stopped them if they needed to go 30 more yards

 

[TarHeelMark]

we need a nice long TD drive here.... answer

 

[strummingram]

I hate to tell you that is Ciziks defense that is getting shelled...not Fedora

No kidding. We never had a chance to stop them defensively. So what does Fedora do? Kicks an onside kick and give them an even shorter field to regain momentum. It was one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

 

[WoadBlue]

If MW had touch like Trubisky, Hollins would have a TD.

 

[TarHeelMark]

argh! Quise keeps overthowing open WR's!

 

[strummingram]

If ANYTHING, that onside kick gave the defense a break in that they woul dbe on the field for a shorter period than giving up 80+ yards and taking 8 minutes off the clock.

 

[strummingram]

Gone be a shootout!

 

[TarHeelMark]

Despite some missed passes, Quise came to play!
