Looking ahead to Louisville, NC State, and Pitt...

[A Clockwork Orange]

These games are going to be incredibly difficult. We play our easiest game on the road and play three of the top five rushing defenses in the ACC. We're one of the five and Clemson is the other.

Pitt has a dynamic offense, and NC State is very solid. We seem to always play poorly at Louisville. There is a realistic and not pessimistic scenario that this team could lose all three. I think Louisville is their best chance to win six, but none of these games will be easy.

I have faith in the offense and the offensive line to move the ball and to play ball control coming out of the bye. I hope the defense is up to the task.

Just watched the NCS L'ville game. Cunningham didn't handle pressure very well. Also, NCS Oline was not all that impressive against a 3-man rush.
Would feel better if we had them in the dome.

Can’t wait to be in Louisville in 2 weeks and watch Tucker break the single season rushing record and watch us take the win to get bowl eligible!!!!

 

[cusefan88]

Cuse generally plays tough against NC State. Even though they are ranked I expect Cuse to be in it.

 

[Cuse'91]

Has to be Louisville; fresh team coming off 2 weeks rest, vs struggling team. Plus - Cards look like they lost safety Tre Clark to serious injury last night; key cog to their defense.
Just leave no doubt, and get the 6 win monkey off the back.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Checking the rule book as I am not sure that's allowed.

I think kicking you the grundle is legal, however to the dick I think is 15 yards. We now bring in rules expert Gene Steratore…

L'ville has to play Clemson next weekend. Clemson is not the Clemson of last season, but they are still big, talented, and very physical. Hopefully, that plays in our favor coming off the bye.

Louisville seems very similar to us, offensive strength is running the ball but struggle when it comes to passing.

One thing I like is Louisville has been more undisciplined and turnover prone than we have been.

Watching the LVille Clemson tape Id imagine is going to be very beneficial to our staff to see how the Cardinals handle the admittedly depleted Clemson front and look for chinks in the armor, and also how they respond to the legs of Shipley

if we’re gonna beat em, I’m pretty sure we’re gonna have to do it on the ground.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

When we do that, will it be intentional or will we be just a bit off while aiming for the grundle?

Intentional yesterday seemed to work much better than grundle before, so... intentional. Final answer.

 

[cuse62]

When I read that we are playing 3 of the 5 best rushing defenses in the last 3 games, my thought was thats because they haven’t played us. After the game I hear the Pinl Panther’s Chief Inspector say,”Not anymore!”

 

[sufandu]

I want us to put up 350 on the ground against Louisville and then have Dino give a wink toward their sideline.

I’m hoping Louisville beats Clemson and lays a huge f-inch egg against us

That's where I am too. All things being equal I think SU wins. It being away from home is the big question mark for me.

 

[anomander]

I think we have a really good team who’s record doesn’t do us justice. I’m worried the most with Pitt just because they can air it out and some of the guys in the secondary will give up some long passes. But who knows , you have to factor momentum, and we have a ton of it now. I would be much more surprised if we lost all 3 instead of win, same with 1-2 and instead of 2-1.

 

[upperdeck]

Cunningham got punished vs NC st.. Followed by Clemson this week , We need to take advantage of that.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

NC State has looked consistently good on offense, about 30-ish ppg against their best competition. Their defense is solid too.

In our favor is that we are the sixth straight week they play coming out of their bye. Injuries begin to add up late in the year

 

[FrancoPizza]

I’d feel better if our D wasn’t leaving practically every downfield BC receiver wide open. Seems like an ACC qb would’ve exposed the secondary big time. I’m hoping they were somewhat intentionally left open betting the PWO qb couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. I truly hope so.

 

[kcsu]

I hope Cunningham gets hammered by Clemson. He is a handful.

 

[CapitalO]

With 2 weeks to prepare and heal some injuries Babers. White. & Gilbert create the scheme and the players execute = mission accomplished ( SU ) leaves Cardinal stadium 6 - 4 and become bowl eligible.

 

[David332]

All three of these games are winnable, Miami just proved that. I’m convinced it’s a matter of us playing against ourselves and not our opponent. When we are clicking we’re dangerous for anyone in our conference. Our D also consistently keeps us in every game.

Right on

Not saying we dont have work to do in the back end but Flowers runs pass every defense. They've been trying to hit him all season and their QB's over throws him.
