Not sure why this was down-voted (I think it is a fair assessment), but I brought you back to positive leg land.
The O feels much better when you you have the D to help it.
I know she keeps saying that, but that might just be to protect your ego.
TOP has to factor in too. Just having an offense that can stay on the field is keeping the defense from getting gassed.
42-3 - 1998 Gator Bowl - living in Raleigh, the memory is burned into my scalp
That said, I highly doubt Mr UNC Football Fan remembers they had a team 20 years ago, let alone the scores to any of the games

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. Okay, I revise it for you. The facts indicate it's certainly not an insurmountable challenge - and given the number of slots to be filled by the changes and the caliber of competition that filled those slots, it was a fairly minor challenge. And one might be able to argue that the additional work actually worked out to VT's benefit.
The point is that in the end, the facts show that "scheduling" is largely irrelevent in a discussion of the pros and cons of 9+1 vs 8+2.
Yeah... unlike UNC, we've been scoring a lot of points this year because we want to, not because we have to. There's a big difference
I believe there's a 45-3 loss to UNC somewhere in our shared history.
TL;DR - Too Lazy Didn't Research
Seriously. The O feels much better when you you have the D to help it.
Not to bring up bad memories that we've blocked out, but I can think of at least 5 games that have made me feel worse than any Loss to UNCheat without putting much real thought into it. #1 Fuck Matt Ryan Game, #2 USC Game, #3 Stanford Orange Bowl (Because I drove down for it) #4 Danny Caught that Ball Game #5 Whatever happened on 9/11/2010.
Which game do we think they're referring to as our worst loss?
edit for grammar
I actually agree with Walter on this one. BC is shit-tier on offense. Tenn still scored a lot of points. I know we fumbled a lot, but that doesn't all of a sudden mean that game was a net positive for the defense, it just means that they weren't as bad as it seemed. ECU scored some big plays and also is just a bad team in general.
If we shutdown UNC I'll see us as a top tier defense, but until then we are a good defense that has to prove itself.
lol nope, have to reply again, because I just read this quote again....

# | With UNC's Fast-Paced Offense on Deck, Bud Foster Expects to be "Playing Against Ourselves" Worst loss by what metric? JMU was pretty bad. BC 07 regular season was pretty bad. LSU 07 was pretty bad. Do they mean margin of victory? What year was it in?
That last one about losing the first half would make sense if it said "Liberty, which they actually lost the first half of their fumbles this year to"

# | With UNC's Fast-Paced Offense on Deck, Bud Foster Expects to be "Playing Against Ourselves" Hey guys. Hey, yo, yeah, we didn't deserve Gameday that weekend because of the MSU OSU game. They didn't have to respond to us at all but they did anyway.
The media down here is still talking about their win over FSU. They really haven't begun to focus on our game, yet.
This is really setting up nicely in our favor. And let me remind you, there are still over 1700 tickets available for purchase for this game, and this is a game that VT usually brings a sizeable fanbase. You could see a 70-30 crowd split in their own house, which would be deflating out the gate for them.
677-261
Fans like this are why I hope we absolutely destroy UNCheat. Last time I checked, defense is a monumental part of football and not having one is a huge problem.
sometimes it seems like it.
Someone slip this under Bud's office door.... please
Might have more luck if it was in Swahili
First thing I think of is....

I wonder if they realize that Foster is playing a lot more zone defense this year? They are assuming we will send 7 every play and leave their WR's in single coverage all game long.
They're predictably riding high off the FSU win (and have apparently forgotten about their first quarter against JMU). Hopefully their players are equally dismissive of us.
They had 10 points entering the 4th quarter at Lane last year. Someone had mentioned a good dose of Hood, but he didn't find the endzone until Q4 either.
It's also getting freaky when the page loads, but the images are slower, so the page keeps jumping, and I keep seeing the same map, but suddenly different comments.

I will not value time of possession.
