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.

Seriously every time they go to the Carolinas in October the weather is horrendous

What a poverty league football program - should be shut down at basketball schools like UNC. Stadium is a shitbox, sound system sounds like the speakers blew out ten years ago so they overcompensate by supersizing the amp and turning it to 11. FFS they were out of hotdogs and beer at one concession BEFORE halftime - "y'all ever play a football game here before" to the smiling idiot telling everyone in line they were out of dogs and beer - joke right over his head. Bathrooms? We only need a couple of those for the dozens of people we expect to come watch the foosball. Its like they have never sold out before and have no idea WTF to do about it.

So annoyed we didn't beat the brakes off of those prissy bitches. Thought our boys looked lethargic - can't blame them. Not the most focused effort but controlled the game. Wouldn't be a game in the Carolinas without a shit ton of rain.

Noon kick is such a lame ass move by the ACC - when is the last time we had one of those? ACC is just run by idiots that hate money.
Damn, I couldn’t have said it better. We live in the area and I told my wife I’m never going back to that shit hole. Who builds a stadium that has ground level seats?? If you’re sitting at the 50’youre 30 yards from the sideline.

Right. I didn’t question that

“Where is the flag? Not who is it on I can tell it’s on Flanigan, like I don’t see a ref flag?”
Sorry misread, it's thrown by the Referee trailing the play when he's between the 15 and the 10

It's all AI slop, right?

It must be to be live grades but even the “official” on Sunday seem off. I never used to notice a substantial change again on Monday afternoon which was the case here. Like they weren’t even close to each other.

Wasn’t the behind the scenes crew absolutely gutted when the company was sold?

Sooo yeah I’m pretty sure the non-paywalls stuff is terrible now.

Their stadium absolutely blows. There was almost zero coverage from the rain in the concourses, and very few screens to watch any of the game when the rain was at it's worst.

A few sweet bars though.

After the kickoff touch down the TV showed the crowd celebrating and it looked like one could get some decent rain cover under a great "set".
