I continue to be perplexed that we wasted a Carney "game" on 1 play.  I think it would have been better to use Villari to take a knee than use a game for 1 play--even for a TD that increases our lead from 59 to 66.

And then to use him against Pitt for, what, 7-8 plays?

I do NOT think that Fran should announce Carney as the starter this week.  But I DO think that Carney needs to get the start against UNC to see what can be done.  Let Rickie have the 4th quarter if we are down.  That seems to be the only quarter that we move the ball anyway... let's see if Carney can get us more than 3-10 pts in 3 quarters of play.

The problem is that UNC's defense is pretty good.  I am not sure that is a great first defense for Carney to face .  ND and Miami on the road are tough tests to start a QB in as well.  So I can totally see it being the RIckie show for 3 more games barring injury... with no ability to even TRY Carney because it wastes his redshirt year.

If so, realistically, having screwed this up so badly, Carney should probably just start the BC game no matter what as Game #3.
