I would think Clemson. Milton has to prove he can play QB. If you watch the game keep an eye on WR Squirrel White. Surprised Darnell Wright is playing at RT.
I think it'll be a good game. Clemson is about a 6 point favorite. Not a lot of games jump out this year outside the playoffs. NCCU win was about the best one so far.
I guess that is the glass half full way to look at it. 4 straight losses to end the season is a rough way to go out. I will stand by my thoughts earlier this month.. He is 71 and actually looks older. He has done his job in getting them back to competitive in a very soft ACC. I think the program is in the perfect spot for him to step aside and inject some youth into it.
I mean, it's UNC football, I know what to expect. I predicted 8-9 wins and they won 9. He's not leaving with Drake there -- I expect him to step down after next season.
They're not going to get rid of Warren, whom is Chizik's right-hand man. The problem is the DL. Hard to ask the DB's to cover for 8 seconds when there is no pass rush. 8.5 sacks in 14 games? Yeesh.
The DL has been an issue for years even with some top recruits but the DB play is still an issue. Too many guys missing assignments, being out of position, and just not playing well. The 2021 NC State game caused me to expect changes.
Thought Mack made a mistake after 2021 by not making more D side changes and also on the O side to include the OC. That is a lot ot undertake but think it was needed.
Secondary is obviously an issue, but nothing will change until the DL starts to get some push. No pass rush and letting 1 guy run for 139 yards on just 13 carries, isn't ideal. They've gotta get better in the trenches if they want to take the next step. Can't stop the run and can't run the ball.
I agree about the pass rush, but I do expect the DB to be in the vicinity of the receiver. To many times receivers running downfield with no one around.
Long way from being over. Clemson has ran 87 plays. I’m afraid TN defense is really tired.
Except for Turner who looks like he is on the JV at Charlotte Catholic
Clemson front 7 is really good. TN OL doesn’t get enough credit. TN Center is what makes the offense go. Cooper Mayes has been really good this year.
Happy New Year. What did everyone think of the Semifinal games. Thought they were really good. Glad TCU won and was hoping tOSU would win. Bennett being the gamer he is pulled it for the Dawgs
If there was a 12 team playoff this year Alabama would be very hard to beat right now. Alabama,Clemson,USC,and TN didn’t deserve to be in the 4 team playoff this year with 2 losses over TCU and tOSU.
