Went in to a noon away game in basically a monsoon and won by 11 with 2 of the 3 phases of the team having uncharacteristically bad performances. Self scout and get back to the lab. How about that running game eh? Eh?

I may be in the minority here. But I don’t think Williams had a bad game. I feel he actually had decent vision today.

Now, the younger guys showed out now doubt. They were great. But I don’t think Williams was bad.

I agree that all the negativity AW is getting isn't really justified imo. He is being out played by James and Walton and It's not always pretty. Last 2 games though he's averaging over 5 ypc on 22 carries and a TD. If he continues to play like that and James and Walton continue to out play him I'd like to think that puts us in a pretty good position to run the table.

Frustrating to see Denbrock go stupid with the play calling at the goal line.

The positive is there were enough mistakes that it will give MF something to use for this weeks practice in working to get better.

One game, but Walton looks like RB1.

What minutes were those?
UNC needed a goal line stop, an almost-unrepeatable 97-yard drive, and then a kick return for a touchdown to make it even briefly close. Then we took back over.
We were always going to win that game. Though it’s one we easily lose in many past years.

UNC doesn’t have a goal line stand if Denbrock doesn’t have a brain fart.

Post game win expectancy according to SP+ was 98.1%


The lowest of the season lmao

No idea about the methodology of each but it's interesting to me that our SP+ post game win expectancy has been at or near 99% but our "Did we really get beat that bad?" chart placement often puts us at middle-high but not at the top of the chart.

If you’re referring to CJ’s run on third down, he checked to that and Denbrock was pissed. According to ISD anyway.

Parker’s only does just net success rate I believe whereas SP+ includes a lot more

It’s tough to tell but i think this UNC squad would do a number on BYU.

I don’t mind their current ranking, for us, but I don’t really understand why anyone thinks BYU is particularly good.

The team and coaches are far more poised than the people who support them. Thank God for that. The response to 21-20 was to just ram the ball down UNC's throat and score a touchdown. Then force a punt. Then do it again. That's the sign of a disciplined, well coached team. You on on the road, in less than ideal conditions and take another double digit victory. I do think that Bobby Petrino gave them some things they need to get better at defensively, and that's actually a good thing.

We'll probably end up looking back at this and recall it as "The Walton Game." At least I will. Very impressed with CJ Carr, Faison, Greathouse, James, Williams, Walton and the offense. Stepped up and did it when it matters. This is as good of a second half team as I've seen. They're very good and are going to continue to improve. They're in the conversation.

Other than that, I was surprised at the amount of trash talking jabronis that UNC had on the field yesterday. They never had the lead and end up leaving their home field a 2-2 team. Some of those dudes were The U 30 for 30 worthy with the amount of jawing and yapping they were doing. Made it even more satisfying to beat them and their broken ass coach.

Had to watch YouTube highlight / condensed this morning, so I am certainly missing a few plays.
But what I saw was our offense could (outside of one screwup) essentially do what it wished, and our D had some brain farms. Overall, played a game that shoulda been 45-19 or so.... is that about right?

Just 2 or so bad drives. Sometimes offense plays well too

Man, I hope I don’t get banned for saying this, but Christian Gray is just not good enough.
