Fun fact I just learned from ISD but Nolan James has the highest success rate of any RB in college football. So you basically have one guy that will always "get you something" and needs to be in on 100% of 3rd & short / red zone situations. He has positive EPA on a whopping 67% of runs.

And then you have Walton, who is 5.8 YPC and is probably your best bet for a home run hitter.

Don't overthink it, give these guys at least 80% of snap share moving forward.

Yeah I'm guessing next year Walton is RB1, James RB2 and Osborne is RB3, Williams and Young will be playing somewhere else.

PFF updated the pressure rate on Saturday from 29% to 45%

So that’s notably better than instant reaction

They also massively change the grades for the RBs. Definitely something fishy going on with the “initial grades” as they are deplorable this year

Feels like we pull one of these dumb noon ACC starts about once every season or two. And it's not unusual for us to come out flat.

Remember NC State in 2024 when there was a two-hour rain delay and then Estime broke one on the first play back. And the last time we went to Clemson and the offense just blew chunks all day. Pretty sure those were both noon starts.

I feel like smarter people than me have said that noon is actually a better TV window than 3:30, but IDK about that.

I was at that wonderful NC State delay (and the BK throw in a hurricane game). Estime's hotdog fueled domination made it worth waiting around. Carolinas are cursed lands for ND weather.
