Can we win the NC with our D?


Nov 30, 2015, 12:00 PM

I think we can. I know we have weaknesses: LB depth, tendency to give up too many big plays (seems to be the norm not an aberration), and no RB being a threat to take it the distance (though I love Gallman).

Still, every team in the country has weaknesses.

Oklahoma seems to be playing the best right now, but they're certainly beatable. The same with Bama and Michigan State.

I like that we get a long break after hopefully a win on Saturday. We need rest bad and it may help us more than the other three teams I see in the playoff. All three seem to be hitting their stride while we've struggled some the last 3 weeks. Hopefully, the long break will kill their momentum, allow us time to catch our breath, and maybe give Joseph and Williams more reps at LB so they could be ready to step in at LB if needed.

Let's take care of UNC first - don't act like........

that's a sure win because it isn't. If we don't play consistently well on both sides of the ball this Saturday we can kiss our NC dreams goodbye. UNC will be no pushover.

Will be tough. I see a close game.***

Probably not, but it should be enough to beat UNC

Not playing championship defense right now but like you said, if we play mistake free on offense (which we also haven't been doing) we have a chance to beat anyone 2011 style by outscoring them. LB depth is definitely a huge issue. I love BB and Goodson and they are pretty good against the run but they are below average to bad in coverage. They are just too slow. We really need a hybrid LaMarcus Joyner type of player who can step it up and do it all in nickel situations. I thought that guy was going to be Kearse or Blanks when the season began, but neither of those guys have been able to execute on that kind of level, mostly from a football IQ standpoint not an athletic standpoint. We are just going to have to do our best to work/scheme around our weaknesses and if we start getting beat, make the adjustments and take something away and make them counter. Coaches really need to be on point if we want to have a chance at stopping UNC and not rely on the offense outscoring them.
