Always a tough job these days of high scoring offenses and rules favoring the offense. Scoring plays can always look preventable and some infuriating. Bend but don't break can be tough to watch as well.

Fans really don't see everything that happens on television and the DC often gets blamed for player mistakes or good offensive play.

We entered the season with uneven talent and many new players unaccustomed to playing together, many in a new scheme. Most observers had serious concerns about every position room except except lb.

ER has had his good (UNLV) and bad (Stanford) high profile moments, part of the territory. That said, we are holding own in the ACC.

His game planning and play calling has been solid, if not great. We may also be getting better.

Given what he has had to work with, a good first effort. Looks like he will only get better, notwithstanding the challenge Miami represents.

Another year or two of good recruiting and coaching and we might have something special.
