It's a relief to see this thread b/c I posted about the horrible, one-sided the officiating in the Clemson game ("Southern cooking") and got flamed. This was more of the same in a much closer contest ... highlighted by the bizarre ruling that Cam was pushed "out" by the CB. Not only was the PI on him ignored, the replay shows that his foot barely grazed the marker - the one that is INSIDE the endzone. Therefore, unless he stepped out earlier (I don't think so), the Ref was basing his "out" call on contact with inside part of the cone - which is 4-5 inches within the EZ.  Amazing that a D-1/ACC ref thought the cone was "out". There should be a league review. The fact that Greensboro didn't even look at the play is more evidence of the clownshow at Pettycoat Junction.

The bottom line is ... the defense played really well for having 2-3 starters out. The LBs are improving ... despite Army's lack of mobility against ACC teams. But the most glaring issue with this team is the OL ... which is a mess. Failing to get the running game going invites the opponent to double cover the WR's. That makes us one dimensional, and puts even more pressure on TD. He had some mistakes and is clearly not 100%, so I was impressed to see him gut this one out. We had a chance to win at the end ... but just couldn't get it done. After 6 games I don't know whether the OL's going to come around this season.
