Overjoyed to be 5-0, but if we’re going to talk about the problems (which we are anyway), we have to talk about clock management at the end of the game.
Up by seven points with less than three minutes to go, and inside the 30 yard line, there is absolutely no reason to throw a pass. No reason at all. Run three times, make North Carolina burn all their timeouts, and kick the automatic field goal with a minute and change left to play, making it a two score game.
It was a miracle that horrendous and ill advised pass by Eli wasn’t intercepted. We were up by seven, not down by seven. Just run the clock out, let $auls do his job and spare us the drama.
Great to get the Chapel Hill monkey off our back. We will definitely be ranked, especially with some top 25 losses ahead of us. H2P!
