Happy for the Win! First game I was able to see at Heinz this year!

Impressed with the defense as been previously mentioned. Offense in second half put them in bad position and they held it together for as long as the could. Scarton needs to be better. Period. Although he did come in clutch in OT in the rain! Nice hold from Kirk.

Offense was fantastic in first half. Chose not to run it as much as they should have and as much as they needed in the second half. Watch from the railing on the upper deck you could see that UNC was dropping well into coverage in the second half and running lanes were wide open. Izzy should have gotten more snaps. Not sure why we continued the RB carousel.

My biggest problem with second half was the selection of plays. Each time Pickett went back to pass the receivers were running 15 yard patterns or more. No outlets, no backs out of the backfield or TE releases. No slants or drags or anything intermediate. All long passes that take time to develop. Played right into UNC's hands.

Happy for the win, Have to beat UVA. Whole team needs to play 4 quarters next week.

I was thinking and said the exact same thing last night while watching the game. I don't know why they were always going long for the home run ball. It wasn't necessary and probably not even better. I would have rather seen short screens, slants, tosses to RB out of the backfield, or even more tosses to TE's. We didn't need to go for the long ball.

Are they trying too hard to get Pickett the Heisman with plays like that? I certainly hope not.
