The Perfect Weekend, Almost

Well I was going to write out a post where I highlighted each Atlantic teams record and what games they had left to play but Tigernet beat me to it. So I am just extending off of what I said in my last post.

Clemson had the perfect weekend. Other than South Carolina winning, everything went right. In terms of recruiting Georgia lost and even Vandy lost. DL Corey Crawford went down to FSU but I cant see that performance stealing him away. On the recruiting front kids are getting shaky and we need a marquee win to get everyone "all in" again.

The key to the season is beating Wake. If we beat Wake we hold the tiebreaker against the top teams BC and Wake. BC has the easiest schedule but will likely lose one more. Look bottom line is the Coastal can beat anyone in the Atlantic. Virginia isnt going to be a pushover bc they have the spread starting to evolve and Duke!! VT isnt going to lose and this all works in our favor. Our schedule couldnt be better--we have 2 weeks to prepare for Wake and then go to Miami to try to beat an overrated top ten team that would give us some momentum. FSU and NC State are tanking but at this point would be hard pressed to make a complete comeback, so a win over Wake gives us the tiebreakers. We will need them. I think we can go 4-4 but 5-3 will be tough. I dont see Maryland stringing together four wins either.

These are just bubbles but what I really want to say is that winning the Atlantic has never been easier. Never!! Its time to salvage the season, get on the same page offensively and start fighting...

Well I didnt mean that literally. Lots has been swirling about the altercation between Napier and Swinney at practice. Dabo thinks he knows how to run an offense, thats why Napier was made the OC--so Dabo could control him to a certain degree. We knew that and thought it wouldnt be that bad a thing for a rookie OC. We didnt know that Dabo would do such a poor job of it. All those three and four WR sets can be attributed to Dabo...lots of offensive line protection mishaps, Dabo too...

Dabo you arent an offensive genius, its ok. Let your ego go, and let Napier call some plays. I have really liked the first couple of drives in the past few games--its the end of the half play calling, the end of game play calling that has been awful and as it turns out, that has been largely Dabo. Run more I formation. Let go of that part of Spence thats still in you, its not good stuff...

If Napier gets canned after the season at least we will have to get a real OC that Dabo cant push around. I'm glad Napier is standing up for himself and its time for Dabo to man up and put his ego in check. We are 2-3 bc of you Dabo...accept it and lets please all move on...
