Guess we are back to ‘just beat Carolina’ and we’ll leave the season with some grace.
If MJ is out QB of the future, which I believe is the case and I’m still excited about, the lessons learned in this game should pay off down the road. BC has a pretty good secondary, unlike Wake and VT which we could easily exploit.
Louisville will bring the heat and MJ better be ready for that challenge in a hostile place. UNC’s defense isn’t very good, so maybe that matchup isn’t too bad for us.
