play action.

Style points matter

If we take care of business against BYU and Miami it won't matter. If we lost to BYU and/or Miami it won't matter if we beat UNC by 11 or 18

 

[Dale]

They would have put on 600+ yards of offense if it wasn’t legally required to rain every North Carolina area game

 

[jerseyborn1971]

15th straight win by double digits
5th straight game with an increase in running yards.

Correct. Undefeated and it doesn't matter.

 

[Tejas]

There you go, never a doubt

 

[Meatloaf]

A win is a win

Yeah, but I’m greedy when it comes to Irish football.

 

[irishff1014]

We got the win and the running game showed up with Walton and James. That’s what we need to see moving forward.

Outside of that everything needs improvement

Lack of focus this game. Sleepy noon eastern, maybe a little headline reading. Got to tighten up for BYU

 

[greyhammer90]

Was Moore in on that last defensive snap?

Early game, sloppy weather, not a highly ranked opponent.

It was a good win that has a lot of teaching points for the staff.

 

[RudyVerse]

Was Moore in on that last defensive snap?

Was looking for him but didn’t see him.

On that note no idea why KVA, Boub, etc are in on a play that cannot impact the game

 

[lcbiiimd]

5-0. Beautiful. Only question is will they move Miami ahead of us if they beat Clemson worse than we beat NC?

 

[NDPhilly]

- We were due for a sloppy road game, in the rain against Belichick just makes sense

- The OL coming together for a great performance + Jonaz establishing himself as RB1 is more important than the leaky coverage on a few drives. They’ll be fine on the back end, but our offense is now complete if they keep this up.

- Add 2 FGs (at the end of the 4tg and the goal line stand) + subtract the KR TD and this is a 43-19 game which is more representative.

- it’s good to have some adversity ahead of BYU

 

[Bane]

That timeout from BB was petty and MF is a better man than me because I would have gone full Cristobal and launched one to the endzone.

 

[IrishBoognish]

Biggest takeaway. Our defense is good, but not elite.

Disagree

There were some bad decisions in the rain that made this look worse than it was

Take the FG near the half

Keep Nolan and Jonaz in... (Jonaz especially) and this is a different looking game

The offense, as great as CJ is, didn't do the D any favors

 

[pumpdog20]

I'm gonna guess AW stays in the rotation, and it will feel like giving away drives.

What’s up with our secondary play today?

What’s up with our secondary play today?

Petrino is the first offensive mind we've played and he realized that Shuler can't guard tight ends like that. Honestly might be a blessing that this team exposed this before a game we could actually lose. Talich on their tight end and no rain and this is an easy 38-10 win.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Positives:

CJ managed to have an excellent game despite the god-awful weather.
The run game has finally come alive. It needs to be the Walton/James show from this point forward.

Negatives:
Pretty much everything else.
Defense had far and away their worst performance (yet somehow still managed to hold them to 285 total yards).
Sneed and Ausberry were DREADFUL. I lost count at the number of times UNC got first downs, because Sneed didn't play contain.
TEs were dreadful today. Probably the highlight of their day was James Flanigan recovering an onside kick.
Special Teams, barf.

 

[Crazy Balki]

What’s up with our secondary play today?

Supremely soft coverage and some poor angles from some of the LBs.

 

[ACamp1900]

For all the JG, AW talk,… Sneed is really the only guy I’m truly deflated on,… my goodness dude, just keep contain and do your job. A couple years ago I thought he was the chosen one

I am a fan of Sneed for sticking with the program and he stepped up in some big spots but I don't need to see him against Miami, which pains me to say.

 

[tko]

So did Dunham get in?

 

[IAIrish]

They didn’t respect Thurman enough in the game plan. This was so obvious to have Talich man him up all game. Instead he’s won 70/30 reps against a much smaller Shuler

You have a safety created in a lab to counter te's like Thurman and nothin... why??

 

[IAIrish]

Would be shocked if that’s not a concussion for Moore, Stanford is ass so we can probably get away without him next week

Of course, cuz I'm headed to SB next weekend...

 

[Dizzyphil]

Talich's interception, while great.. was a third-down 'punt'... I'll take it. The D needs to work on TE routes.

I pray for the bed sheets of all IE members tonight.
I pray that @GrangerIrish24 had a delicious piece of cake for Mrs. Granger’s birthday and then proceeded to get annihilated drunk.
I pray for BB,s sore back carrying around those gorgeous milkers.
