GAME DAY: UNC VS UGA

I also saw an offensive line that showed some serious "nasty". Couple of blocks that our fullback laid on the UNC linebackers was really impressive. Different attitude by all involved. Coaches and players.

Yep. It is a great new day.

To me it was really great that for the first time in years, it's the day after a big game, and our season still means something.

Have this feeling that our coaches have laid the ground work, believe they will now move forward. Forward at a pace in the long run that will pay dividends. Add a little of this and a little of that. A big plus if we can remain in the top five or ten recruiting in 2017. This group of coaches are not about hurting feelings, they are about winning and playing those that earn time.

Buc, kind of scary for me to think how badly this game would have gone had we not had a coaching change. Had we not, I think most would agree that Lambert would have played the whole game, and the run/pass ratio would have been 50/50 (like it almost always was) instead of 72% run or whatever it ended up being. Hmm, imagine that, calling plays that play to your offensive strengths. Definitely a new era.

sadlerdawg, like you said above . . . . a different outlook after the first game, as compared to many previous years. UNC has some football players, also have a head coach that is turning the UNC program around. I like the fact that we started 2016 with a good team. See where Clemson coach would like to play UGA again, often. I would like that a lot.

Hoping you are keeping your eyes and ears open. Know that you are, too much "stuff" going on.

I think it is smart playing a big non conference game 1st. You need it for strength of schedule, and if you happen to lose that 1sr game against a ranked team like that, you've got all season to
recover your own ranking.
