Re: TNET: How UNC stopped the Clemson offense: Dare the Tigers to run, then stop it

Agreed. Holding anything back for the playoffs wouldn’t be the best idea when we’re struggling and need to use it. If we lose, we might not make the playoffs. You have to get there first. I really doubt that’s what the coaches are doing. It’s probably more that as the O gels, they are able to open up the book more. However, the more the starters play, they’ll get there faster, which takes me to the next point...

Our biggest mistake so far IMO is that we haven’t played the starters enough. We shouldn’t be pulling them as early if they need the reps to get the plays, timing, and chemistry down.

Furthermore, I think we have the talent and depth across the board to adapt to any defensive game plan and expose their weaknesses. There is no need to disguise anything from our book. When we get the chemistry down (should’ve gotten there sooner btw), it’s pick your poison for Ds IMO.

When breaking down the stats of this game, I would say that they were almost even, to close to say either team had an advantage or a disadvantage. The butt kicker in the entire game is this, we out talent the Tar babies player for player at every position, but looking at the game stats you would think that the game was played by two evenly matched teams, and that is far from the truth bc it isn't even close bc the facts are we do out talent the tar babies across the board man for man, so what happen?

Dabo knew what happen, and he stated what happen as clear as he could, and I'm assuming that most thought he was making an excuse or attempting to take the heat off himself. He said that we were flat out out coached, and he was telling the honest truth, and with him being the HC he is part of that coaching, and not for a second was he pointing any fingers to take any of the responsibility away from himself bc he knew they had been out coached and Dabo admitted that. When looking at how the two teams match up talent wise, we were flat out out coached. Mack Brown got with his coaching staff and they came up with a plan that would equal the talent out by focusing on taking away our best players and they done a good enough job at that to give them a chance to win in the 4th Quarter, and they were almost successful!!! We were out coached, and the stats says that the better team was held in check, and the only way to achieve that against a better team, is to out coach the better team. Give Mack Brown a Ton of credit, he done his job, and he done well. Here are the stats that says that he done his job at equalizing all that talent of the defending NC.
