Scariest Game 2012
Jul 30, 2012, 2:19 PM
|
|
Looking at the schedule, there are 5 games we can all agree could go either way: Auburn, FSU, Ga Tech, Va Tech, USuCk.
Out of the other 7, which are you most worried about?
For me, it's hands down BC... Here's why:
1. It's BC. We just don't usually play them well. All-time, the series is tied.
2. It's AT BC. We all know remember the horrible game the last time we were up there...
3. It's after FSU (our most important game of the season as far as ACCCG hopes) and right before Ga Tech. Holy Trap Game, Batman.
4. BC is supposedly getting better. They've got plenty of issues, but pretty much all they lost is Kuechly, so they do have some experience.
5. BC has a bye before us. So not only do they always play us well, but they have 2 weeks to prepare.
Again, which of the 7 games (Ball State, Furman, BC, Wake, Duke, Maryland, NC State) are you most worried about?

I hope so

But last year was close, it's after Va Tech, it's a short week, and even though it's a different team entirely, the 2008 game will be hanging over everyone's heads...

NcState , returns 4 oline , QB and top corner in the league
SC , really good qb that runs and dline is loaded with pass rushers not to mention our long suffering oline
GT , can we ever stop the option and can we coach our dline and oline to get off their olinemen blocking down field

I think y'all have named the 2 most apparent trap games.

It'll be their chance to beat a top team and our chance to remain ranked.

Doesnt BC lose their top running back as well? I dont think he played last year due to injury, but before that he was pretty good.

Montel Harris?
Jul 30, 2012, 2:36 PM
[ in reply to Re: Scariest Game 2012 ] |

Yeah he was kicked off the team for repeat violations of team rules of some kind... I think a few months ago now
But considering he didn't really play last year, I wouldn't consider him as losing a starter

Of those 7 NCSt by far

There's another trap game, we have a bad habit of overlooking teams before USuC. They have a great secondary, and arguably the best QB in the ACC.
BC lost Kuechly, Montel Hariss, and several coaches. I doubt they replace what they've lost.
I don't like Thursday night games either but I think NCSt is the best of those 7 you listed. I would have put GT on the list of "we should win", not go either way, and then put them at the top of the "scariest game 2012" list.

as I mentioned above, Harris only played in 2 games last

year, so idk that I would consider him a "loss" in that respect.
Finch and Williams were pretty good, they combined for 1222 yds on 281 carries (4.3 avg). Not crazy good, but they're both juniors so they have experience

them once since 2007. I do have high hopes now that we have Venables, and it's a home game this year, but I don't think we can dismiss them at this point.

Starting last season this is a different team.
Jul 30, 2012, 2:51 PM
|

We'll whip BC, Wake, and NCSU.
The only games we should have any concerns about are:
1) FSU: Atlantic Division might rest on this game in Tallahassee
2) South Carolina: Cause we're sick and tired of losing to redneck trash.
That's it. Spot the freeeeeaking ball.

Wake Forest......I think Coach Spaz at BC is the best......

......defensive HC in the ACC, but we should have too much athletic ability for BC. But it might be closer than any of us want.
