Duke Gameday...

The thing that bothers me the most is the lack of physical hits on defense. I thought for sure our defense was going to step up, at least their physicality, after that nonsense hit to Cooks head.
 
Team looks slow today overall. Too much partying and celebrating post Clemson. They are just not ready.
So many issues to fix: Rickie needs to know when to throw it away. Why throw it from the 4 when they are not consistently stopping the run. D-backs are getting abused. The D can't tackle. O getting dumb penalties.

Come on Orange, you can do WAY better than this in the second half. It's not over.
 
I want to Jakhari or Carney out there for 2nd half. Collins doesn't see the field and has no feel
 
I'm going to zag

I'm not fully convinced on Angeli

(he's obviously better than Rickie though)

I think Clemson is really really bad and quit on Dabo
 
Angeli was a.bigger loss then I imagined This is now a 5-7 team.,Collins isn’t the answer. Carney will play at some point and Collins will transfer.
 
I think this game shows where the program is. We are growing, but great programs with culture play more evenly from game to game. This is not the same team I watched at Clemson last week. Offense has an excuse, but the defense was flying around against Clemson. Being on field level it was evident. The effort just doesn't seem there. I know Mensah and Brewer have something to say about that, but pretty embarrassing performance. Just shows we still have a LOT of growing to do as a program. Most of the talent are underclassmen. I'd really like to see a nice response coming out of half.
 
If he was good I practice they wouldn’t have gone out and gotten Angeli

You always improve your roster when the opportunity arises. Did Sellers look any better for us in practice? It's hard to say what you've got until somebody plays in live games.
 
The energy in the dome from both sidelines has been wildly different since they ran out of the tunnel. Almost like Duke is the best team and country and Cuse knew they didn’t have Angeli and looked defeated from the start. Weird
I know how deflated I felt as a fan, it has to have an effect on 18-24 year olds.
 
This isnt on Collins. They should be running more to open things up. I love Nixon but this game plans been confusing. No designed runs, not enough willis and nixon
 
It’s amazing how this season has gone from:

Preseason - “Getting to a bowl game will be a successful season”.
After Clemson (and FSU loss last night) - “The ACC is wide open. We actually may have an outside chance at getting to the ACC Championship”.
After the Duke 1st Half - “Welp, so much for this season. At least Angeli will be back next year.”
 
I do remember us coming back down 21-3 against V tech last year, and that comeback didn’t start until like 5 minutes left in the 3rd. Yeah we might not have a QB but I trust Fran will at least go out fighting
