Guys, this season is not lost! This loss today was absolutely crushing. I was down and angry for a bit and was saying to myself what’s the point of this season anymore? And then I realized , we still can be 8-4 or even 9-3. I know we all wanted at Top 25 ranking or a BCS bowl game but honestly, at the start of the season did any of us REALLY expect that THIS year? Probably not. If I had told you all we would be 4-2 at the halfway point we would all be ECSTATIC. We just got a little over hyped on this team for this season. I think this really bodes well for next season. If we ended at 8-4 or 9-3 99% of would absolutely Happy at the start of this season.

Figure we win the rest of the home games (attend the games and it’ll help) that gets us to 7 wins. We beat Wake Forest and we have 8 wins. We might be able to pull a win at BC and that’s 9 wins. This season is not lost. We gotta believe.

Also, we need to learn to defend the run and learn to tackle like yesterday! Don’t give up on them now!

They would need to make huge changes to beat bc unless Dillon is still hurt. UNC n lousyville are winnable and so is wake but I could just as easily see us losing. UNC is now the biggest game of the year.
 
We are just unlucky. Both Clemson and Pitt face 4th down in late 4th quarter, both gambled and made 1st down. If they failed, the game would be over for them.
 
We expected 4-2. Let’s not move the goal posts now.
 
any team that gets a 75 yd run is good look good running the ball even if 20 in a row go for 2 yds.

We also expected losses to Clemson and Florida State. They split those games and should have won both.

The book on how to skin us is written now. Run it down our throats and we'll crumble.

Now time for Babers and co to earn their scratch.

Tactical changes and better execution are obviously needed.

We'll see what sort of coach and staff we truly have over the next few games.

Yep. Need to stop the run. Which most likely means a scheme and personnel changes st Lb

We had 8 in the box. This has less to do with scheme and more to do with who is the box. We need to get more size/strength at LB. And we need Safeties that can come down hill and make tackles.

Yup. I hope it gets better.
