Division, but with a win, Duke can pull even and take the tiebreaker. Miami should win this game, but with Virginia starting to play better and having won two of its last three, the Hurricanes could be in trouble if they aren’t focused on the task at hand. On Saturday against the Duke Blue Devils, he again enjoyed the fruits of his labor as he broke a UNC football record. Congratulations to the Tar Heels quarterback. Over the next three weeks, it may be the deciding factor in the Blue Devils’ season. Sirk also ran the ball 8 times for 74 yards and 2 touchdowns. They’ve got a lot of weapons on their entire team….

Significance of impact: North Carolina is making the most of a seven-game winning streak, especially in the vital recruiting state of Georgia. Fedora had been watching the Duke-Miami game on television. The Tigers were coming off of a week where they were slated as the nation’s number one ranked team in the first College Football Playoff Poll, and could have easily laid down against the Seminoles and their excellent rushing attack. “But you put your kids on alert and you train them to the fact that it’s going to be fast and we have to be alert, we have to have a system of getting the play call in to the kids as fast as possible so that we can get aligned and we can execute the call at an accelerated pace”. Miami still has to play North Carolina who stands at 8-1, they have to play against Pittsburgh who’s also 6-3, and both of those games are on the road. The Tar Heels racked up 704 total yards on offense and scored 38 first-half points, in win that will finally start bringing a few deserved national attention to Chapel Hill. “Run the show and just play basketball…(I’ve) got to be more aggressive, set the tone early, make the first punch”. It encapsulated the key battles Duke lost in that 66-31 loss: explosive plays and turnovers.
Switzer had his second 100-yard game against the Blue Devils, while Howard finished just shy of his second this season with 83 yards. And with only Syracuse, Wake Forest and SC left on the schedule, it should be undefeated heading into the ACC title game.
That group that will help the Tar Heels replace a veteran frontcourt-Kennedy Meeks and Isaiah Hicks are juniors, Brice Johnson and Joel James are seniors-and their projected leading scorer, senior guard Marcus Paige. “We have to see the ball, get the call, get lined up and execute the call”.
Improved from past year? “[Duke is] a really good team on third down”, Hood said. Yes, the Heels have looked very good.
But that intensity won’t be limited to third down. “They know. They know the stakes”. Carolina quarterback Marquise Williams said the fans have done their part in buying tickets. The rest is up to the team. “It’s what they need to see from us: a win”. At a minimum, the young kids are guaranteed of 15 more practices and a December game, which will give the new coach a chance to scout his inherited players.
