We all want it, but you're at best a coin flip to do it. This game was viewed as tough BEFORE the season started...

If we run the ball well, we win the game. Period

Here is the thing, to be successful, you have to be as near as you can be at being 50/50 pass and run plays in your offense. We had that Saturday against Samford. So why is this important? Well, because the pass sets up the run and the run sets up pass. You have to always keep the defense guessing. When yo do this, you have the Bobby Ball, which had been missing before in the first three games. So, yes we will win, if run the ball well.

If you don't turn the ball over or take sacks, you win the game. It's as simple as that.
Our turnovers have happened in the qb rb exchange. That is alarming!

Hopefully Bobby uses the atheletes he has at his disposal and feeds them the ball. We could actually spread the field with receivers and kill teams if they gameplan right.

Nole here.. With two good teams in the Atlantic in years past there was only one good game (FSU v Clemson). Just adding Louisville last year tripled that (LouisvillevFSU, LouisvillevClemson, and FSUvClemson)

If NCSt can get good then you have six great Atlantic games.. If the ACC schedules proper that 6 weekends with a good Atlantic game. Confernce perseptions jumps a lot by adding the right teams.

Just adding 5 ND games a year makes a huge difference (this year 6)
ND vs UVA was national
GT vs ND was national (poor performance aside)
ND vs Clemson will be HUGE ratings and will host College Gameday
ND at Pitt may not get too much attention
Wake at ND blah.. ND gets a win
ND at Boston Will play at Fenway Park.. will be awesome and show off what the ACC has to offer.
