After seeing the running game explode with the young guns like Teller and Smith enter the game, do you guys think we could possibly see Searels trot out a different group of starters this week? I understand that they might not be as trustworthy in terms of assignments and reads, but that was the best I've seen us blow the opposing defense off the ball in a long time.

Teller & Smith looked good out there making holes for the running backs. they should be kept in the rotation to gain more experience .
I would like to see teller and Farris start at the guards with 2 TE s and attack the edge with Edmunds to start the game and keep doing it until they stop it!
Gibson (T), Teller,(G) Wang (C) ,Smith (G), Hansen(T) to start the game in Chapel Hill, look to get some push right off the back in the game and force the Tar heels to reset their defensive scheme. Then Lefty go throw the book at them. When our running game gets going, it opens up the TE and WR for Brewer to work his magic. One request though for this game, Lefty, please throw the middle screens out of the playbook....
I could see all of that except Hansen. He's done alright (especially for a walk-on who was playing defense a month ago), but he's definitely had his struggles. Let's not go overboard here. McLaughlin will be holding down that RT spot for the foreseeable future.
I'm gonna go with
Gibson - Far Left TE
Teller - Middle Left TE
Smith - Middle TE
Conte - Middle Right TE
McGlock - Far Right TE
I say go with whatever's working. If Searels sees something in practice that translates to playing well on gameday, and it does well on gameday, then I wouldn't change a thing. Apparently he sees that the offensive line that he puts out to start is what he feels is best for our team. We just need to MASH UNC back to the hole that they come out of for gamedays.
