If Adams does not have a 5 yd hole to run through, he cannot go anywhere. The offensive line is getting manhandled again along with some more bad play calling.
The UNC defense is concentrating on Josh.

That was all OL. You call a play expecting your line to beat an inferior team up front on 3rd and 4th and short, and you don't do it.

Playcalling, schmaycalling. UNC has a subpar and injury plagued unit and you can't beat them? Bull. No excuses for a unit that wants to be considered elite.
I agree with you brother. It's been like this for how long now?

Nice play call on 4th down. Hopefully that will be a turning point.

I'm impressed with Book's accuracy so far. While he's no stiff, he's definitely not the runner Wimbush is.

146-7 edge in total yards in the first quarter. Time to punch in a score.

He's more willing to throw the dang thing. Not so hesitant.

I'm still very happy to see him break off
4-5 yard scrambles. Keeps the chains moving.

I would be very surprised if UNC's defense is not pooped out by the fourth quarter

Ian Book looks a LOT more comfortable as this drive goes on. Settling into the position and finding his marks.

I wanted to see a replay too. Big guys can hopefully take the hit and still make the catch.

We have to be exhausting their defense we have had the ball for 11:37 minutes in the first quarter.

That was PI, but Mack still should've caught it. Can't get knocked around by a guy who's like 60 pounds smaller than you.
