Week 8 ACC/FBS Games for Oct 17-21

What is this going for it on 4th down inside the 10 against Florida State. That’s not allowed. You always kick that. (Sarcastic font)

Tonight's results are showing how inept we have been. I am seriously worried about getting 2 more wins. We have made NC and FSU look like the 72 Dolphins. Duke and lowly Virginia have shown otherwise. Every team we play seems to be on the upswing (even Pitt) while we are regressing.

 

[SU91]

But, but, but a Top 10 team on the road with an NFL QB, we are not being realistic. Some even called me “delusional!”

Same dude said I was “miserable” when I commented that I didn’t think our online was very good again during the first four games. You know, we were 4-0 and going to the NC.

 

[qdawgg]

We’re all watching other teams being competitive with the tougher teams in the ACC and what I’m afraid of is, Wildhack has zero clue. We can all see we’re not going anywhere but doesn’t matter what we think.

 

[Scooch]

FWIW, we’re gonna win some games down the stretch. I think any talk of going 0-5 is totally insanity.

 

[PoppyHart]

LSU up 48-0 on Army

 

[Bulldog04]

If this Duke game doesn’t show you how much better this coach is than Dino lol. and it didn’t take him a decade to get better and compete. Gosh we need a new coach.

solid game management

 

[Scooch]

What a terrible call there. Why did they go for it?

 

[Bulldog04]

Totally fine with going for it there. A coach who believes in his players and his coaching and giving them a chance to win. What a concept

 

[OburgOrange]

What a terrible call there. Why did they go for it?

Duke coach believes in his team

 

[Bulldog04]

What a terrible call there. Why did they go for it?

I think 10 points in this game is far more substantial than 6. In a game you’re supposed to lose. But I like the faith

 

[hoopsupstate]

Why is Duke going for it here? QB hurt. Take the points.

I agree. Get a six point lead and then maybe nine. Poor decision.

Probably analytics.

 

[Scooch]

Leonard was out. I don’t like that decision with him on the sideline.

Probably analytics.

Analytics are just probabilities. Coaches can be just as dumb blindly following them as ignoring them.

 

[BuffOrange]

So UNC had 0 turnovers before that int? And uva threw 10pts in the trash. Wow that is embarrassing. Has a 24pt favorite ever lost like that.

I would have kicked it. Make them score TD and extra point. Fg still wins it in that scenario.

Those “go for it” analytics don’t take into account the strengths/weaknesses of the teams and what’s been going on in the game, right?

Yeah, seems like an easy cop out for insecure coaches though - just always follow the analytics and you can justify every decision!

 

[SURules]

Well.. if they don’t have a clue, they are on the verge of losing even the hard core fans,

 

[PhatOrange]

I’d have kicked but I can’t get mad at a coach going for a kill shot when has a chance as an underdog on the road. That’s old Dyno. There’s a lot of game left.

Duke coach believes in his team

If he believed in his team he wouldn't have called runs on 2nd and 3rd down. It was a dumb call.

I’m typically a numbers guy. And I love aggressiveness. But in that specific instance, with your all world QB on the sideline, I’d have taken the points.

backup had just come in cold. That may have had something to do with that (which is probably another reason he should’ve kicked.)

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Blowouts happen, but you need to win some of these games. The fact that we haven't beaten a decent team (ended the year with less than 5 losses) since 2018 says a lot. You can't have your best win in the last 5 years be over an 8-5 team and have all these blowouts.
