It's been mentioned before, but with the talent we have in the secondary, and the new talent we're breaking in at linebacker, it makes sense that on defense we're going to use the lbs to try and stop the run and pressure the QB and trust the secondary to not get beat. I think that can work.
On offense, we're not likely to have an offensive line that's going to steam roll and let us do whatever we want, whenever we want. So I think we're going to have to look for explosive plays - this is where having a QB like DeVito that can go long and looks to throw downfield helps, and when having +speed guys like Jordan and Benson can make a difference. Grinding out long drives down the field probably isn't in the cards, but that doesn't mean we can't find ways to score.
Our kicking game should be good. Our punting game isn't likely going to be as good as it was with Hof back there. I'd like to think we can find some dynamic returners.
It'll be nice if UNC helps a bit. They've dealt with stuff too. They have limited depth too. It'll be weird for them too.
Things will probably get sloppy. Big mistakes that break the game either way won't be a total surprise. This is always my strategy, but I'd want the ball first, get a TD, and put UNC down ASAP.
