Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 788153, member: 2265"] ...it is hard not to draw the conclusion that we are, unhappily, in the bottom half of the ACC with MD, NC, NC State, Pitt, BC and Virginia. We are dead last in scoring offense and ninth in scoring defense vs conference opponents. We may be in the bottom third. The good news is that all of our remaining games except FSU are with teams on our level. Wake Forest – This is a good offensive team. WR Campanaro is the leading receiver in the ACC and Tanner Price is the 4th leading passer. They also seem to be improving on defense. We will have a tough game in the Dome. Only injuries and Nassib/Lemon heroics stopped them a couple of years ago. This game is no longer one to put easily in our win column. Maryland – This is the one team that I think has been overrated all year and is now being exposed as a poor one. I think this is a winnable game but it is an away game and the Terps have a bye week this week and will be prepared for us. They have 5 wins and only need to beat us to qualify for a bowl. Dangerous game. Pittsburgh – The Panthers are underachieving again having lost to Navy and now stand at 4-3. They seem as erratic as we do. We will learn a lot when they face Ga Tech this week. I still think we can beat them in the dome but no game is safe Boston College – It is quite possible that both teams will need this game to qualify for a bowl. I really don’t know what to make of BC (or us) so I think this game is a toss-up as well. We have to win three of these games and while doable it will be no cakewalk. If we have any more blowouts Shafer will have to take a real critical eye to teh staff and make appropriate changes. Perhaps even if we get to a bowl changes will be wise. [/QUOTE]
