I think Kapilovic did a good job with what he had.  Their QB was limited to throwing short passes that would be easy to complete.  They didn’t trust him to throw downfield and I think were afraid to use long developing plays with our strong pass rushers.  Fedora said after the game the wrinkles Ward added with 2 weeks to prepare surprised them and basically shut their offense down the whole first half.

He was able to make adjustments at halftime that improved things, especially running the ball, but their offense scored 20 points in regulation.  In these days of high scoring offenses, that isn’t so bad.  If UNC was able to run a couple decent drives late to close the game with the lead, I would agree.  He made a few strange calls late that really helped us.  The QB runs, some foolish passes, etc.

I say Ward won the first half and Kapilovic won the second but those clutch late stops for the Syracuse defense give Ward a small advantage.  Kapilovic had a lot of talent at his disposal at the skilled positions and I think the Tarheels are getting better on both sides of the ball.  Would not be surprised to see them beat someone good soon.
