Next year

Adjustments were good but it still doesn't take into account the fact we can't cover opposing receivers for shat, and we look stupid when it comes to open field tackling, and overall our defense is slow.

So even with all that they held a solid offense to 17 points. That's impressive.

High level. Elite. Effort. Waffles. 404. Love them. Hug them. (But throw them under the bus).

Agreed, our defense could use a lot of work during the off season. The second half was better by far, but still we are not an elite level....yet.

How many years of eligibility does King have left?

How many years of eligibility does King have left?

He was a redshirt Sophomore this season so he has two years left if he doesn’t go pro.

So shouldn’t get held out of the playoffs.

Good. Spot the enemy 14 pts per game to piss the guys off and we'll probably go 9-3.

We are still ACC. Low IQ sports media and fans won’t perceive it as tough.

So shouldn’t get held out of the playoffs.

If we lose one or two with that schedule, we should be in the CFB playoffs.

Tell us how we could have allowed fewer points in the last 3 quarters.

0 points in 2-1/2 quarters.

Here's an excellent story on EJ Lightsey in case you didn't know. This young man should be a big help to Coach Sherrer. I think Sherrer is vastly better than the previous DC.

Didn't imply anything about how the adjustments weren't superb. Just saying that we have short comings....some of which can be remedied via work and some of which can't unless or until different personnel are brought in. Overall a fantastic effort and great way to end the season.

So do the teams that play us, especially the day they play us.

As an observation: when we were down 14-0, the cameras focused in on Coleman and Sherrer coaching their guys HARD. I've been very critical of Coleman, but I'm willing to admit that our DEs in this game started in unfamiliar roles and became better about defending the read option throughout the game. Getting more heft into the DL for the bowl game was an improvement after the 1st quarter.

We were also missing our #1 DE

And Sylvain all season.

Yikes - how the hell did they not mention Leo Blackburn at all?

Yikes - how the hell did they not mention Leo Blackburn at all?

My guess is because he didn't play in the 2023 season but man if he can come back and contribute it will be a nightmare for secondaries trying to cover our skill players.
