Pretty much a punt but we are playing very soft on offense. Really disappointed bc we're obviously looking ahead to USC. Good thing defense is stepping up

Play calling awful. Just run the ball or short pass to the boundary.

We still have trouble blocking when it's an obvious running situation.

I have never seen a sloppier team across the board. Offense is soft, defense is getting bailed out and ST is ugh.

North Carolina is more banged up than we were in 15'. Dropping like flies.

Most of ND's break away runs this year have been to the outside. Not too much up the middle. Get to the end zone any way you can.

Okwara doesn't keep contain. Surratt runs for 16 yards on 3rd down.

Defense has been awful. They're not stepping up, UNC just can't get out of their own way.

By far our worst game we've played I think. Especially since UNC is awful. How to you give that up on 3rd down

Coach C said in power hour that they are likely taught to not look for the ball. Time to change that thought process.

This is disappointing. The game could easily be 14-14 now (if not for the fluke fumble by UNC). UNC is missing a ton of players, but we cannot put them away.
