They outgained us by 352-244 yards. <br /><br />It really was not THAT bad last year. Nicks killed us and Crane sunk us. Both are gone and its a new day!<br /><br />So, if we limit turnovers, establish a run, not be too dependant on the pass, etc. (all tall orders, I know) we can knock these guys off! Maybe.<br /><br />BC 31 - UNC 17!<br /><br />In fact, we are favored! <br /><br />here is blurb from a gambling site:<br /><br /><i>The Tar Heels come into this match-up on a roll as they have won three straight including wins over nationally ranked Virginia Tech and Miami. This game should be all about defense as North Carolina’s is one of the fastest in the nation, while the Eagles D can grind it out with the best of them. <b>BC is a 3 point favorite in front of the home crowd</b> according to our NCAA football betting lines.</i>mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-53145399653506406442009-11-18T17:47:54.448-05:002009-11-18T17:47:54.448-05:00Here I thought I was the last old fogey wishing fo...Here I thought I was the last old fogey wishing for the I formation. I have always just assumed that I just didn't know squat (which is highly likely), because it seems that with the O-line's size we should be able to go I-formation and just move the pile five yards, almost at will.mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-36738605679387407312009-11-18T16:22:18.169-05:002009-11-18T16:22:18.169-05:00My take on his question -

But I feel like he's done fine. It's so hard to tell, considering the inconsistency of Shinskie but much of that has be expected of any QB who took off that much time. Overall, Tranq limits his crazy calls and keeps things "by the book" enough that people seem to talk about the players' play more than the play calling. And he wasn't too set in his ways to implement the bazooka, which shows he's willing to call plays to his player's abilities instead of force his players to his system.<br /><br />I would like to see more I formation with a full back clearing out holes for Harris. That usually works for BC, where I cringe everytime I see Harris 7 yards deep and a defense stacking the line.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852682232912278307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-61546455547497165162009-11-18T16:09:01.113-05:002009-11-18T16:09:01.113-05:00At this time last year, before the second last gam...At this time last year, before the second last game against Wake Forest, I feel as though we were all pumped up.<br /><br />This year, in our second last game - which is at home and Senior Day - I feel that we are really flat.<br /><br />I realize that we were in control of our own fate last year, and that's not the case this year. But we're still playing for 8 and 3, hopefully on our way to 9 and 3 (with an outside chance of winning the division) in a "rebuilding year" - are you kidding me?<br /><br />UNC pasted us last year - they were literally laughing at us - that alone should be enough to stoke us up for payback.<br /><br />Let's go BC - remember 1984 in Foxboro. Let's show these guys a little something on Saturday, just like NC State.<br /><br />GET FIRED UP - COME-ON - LET'S GO!!!! I'll be there EE, Row 4, 34 and 35 - dead on the 50 yard line. Mid-50's partly sunny - no excuses!<br /><br />Be there or be square - these guys deserve it.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.com
