1) Pitt will win. We have not lost a 2nd half to an FBS team this year (7 wins, 1 tie).
2) More pitches to the short side of the field with Ollison. 1 was successful; I'm talking about today and for the entire season.
3) Ford & Challingsworth have shown improvement throughout the year, which is great. I'll be quite happy with the receiving group next year if Flowers & Winfree come in and have the skills to make these two our #3 and #4, much less happy if F&C are our legitimate #1 and #2.
4) Our net-passing will be better next year. Seems crazy considering Boyd leaves, but it is clearer and clearer that Pitts is more of a negative to our passing defense than Boyd is to our passing offense -- Pitts gives up so much that he doesn't make up for.
5) Quadree is a nice littler kick returner.

Addition: Announcing crew is horrible, like horrible. Production isn't much better; show 2 impact players for our offense and neither is Boyd.

We need to score a TD on the opening possession. I don't know if the defense will continue to give up and big plays and still keep Duke out of the endzone and we need at least some kind of encouraging sign from this offense.
 
Duke is really not a very good defensive team. Mind boggling we scored so easily our first possession and have stalled since. That needs to change now.

Duke is actually really good defensively. Take the 66 UNC laid on them out.

43 to Virginia Tech and 30 to Miami and nobody they beat was worth noting. Their best defensive performance was in a loss to Northwestern. They may play well, they have good coaching, but I really don't see much talent there.
