400 yards of offense barely into the 2nd half

Beautiful.

It would be so perfect if state scored on every possession they have tonight.

So now we're replaying the last play of the 1st half after halftime? ACC officiating in a nutshell right there.

Oh sorry, you said Florida. Brain fart on my part. Yeah, I don't know what they're doing. You're in it in the 4th quarter against an undefeated top 5 team. Let it all hang out. You got nothing to lose.

They aren't playing Carolina. You usually play conservative with a backup QB. As Carolina fans we're just used to our D making them look like Joe Montana for one day.

Were they in the second half of the season? If yes, not a fluke. This has been our norm under Mack. We have folded like a cheap suit in the second half of the season year after year. I just don't think he can sustain it down the stretch at this age. He just doesn't have the ability to coach a full season. I can't make anything else make sense.

I have no confidence in Mack at this point. We've had an opportunity to have two Heisman campaigns and absolutely horrifically botched both. We aren't developing QB talent and we collapse in the second half of seasons. It's just not good coaching. Mack has accomplished what we brought him back to do. Drag us out of the gutter, rebuild recruiting relationships, and build a bridge to the next coach. It's time for that next coach.

Honestly, 13th. As a first year starter with a terrible OL, terrible running game, and receivers that are near the top of the league in drops.

Yeah, trash the guys that are keeping us from being 3 or 4 win teams. We suck because we have no D and a HC who runs out of gas mid-season because he needs to have his legs kicked up at the beach enjoying retirement. When the entire team looks out of sort down the stretch year after year it's the coach's fault.

Yeah, it's Howell's fault that they literally have the worst D in the league and no running game. He really should be making more tackles.

It'll be the duke coach. He's a damn good coach and was the TAMU DC prior to taking the duke job.

Those pretty good weapons are among the league leaders in drops and that OL is atrocious. McLaurin is damn good. Other than that their skill position guys are pretty average.

Well, at least we didn't get shutout.

Says the "UNC fan". Yeah, it was wild how Howell was the only guy out there and single handedly lost. Howell is leading the NFL in passing yardage on an awful team with a lame duck coach, the worst D in the NFL, and an OC just trying to audition for HC roles vs. trying to run a functional offense. He's about the only thing right about that team. My point in bringing up Howell is that the Heels would have been utterly awful with our defenses without Howell and Maye at QB. Mack has been floated by getting the two best QBs we've ever had and doing very little in the other side of the ball. I know that's obvious and you're just a troll but figured I'd point that out for anyone who actually cares.

Develop? At UNC? Has he developed? Did Howell develop? If he wants to develop he needs to go to the NFL.

I hope they beat us by 40. It needs to be very clear that Mack has to bow out.

New as in the offense lasted longer than the D. It isn't new for the offense to eventually fall apart down the stretch. The team face planting in the second half of the season is very much the norm under Mack. That's just the sad reality.

He didn't try. He didn't even bother to recruit in state kids. Ruined all the relationships we had with local powerhouse HS programs. Another reason I wanted Mack back. I knew he'd fix that in a hurry.

We know the D is garbage. The offense being completely out of sorts is a new development. No one is on the same page. The team is utterly unprepared. Again.

I'm all the way out on weighing in on who we hire. I wanted Fedora and thought he'd be a great hire. 🫢

Please state, blow us out. Make it embarrassing. Mack has to be forced to retire.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad Mack came back. We needed to get dragged out of the gutter and he accomplished that. But at his age he was always just a bridge to the future. It's time for the future.

The late season collapses are the norm. This team being embarrassingly unprepared to play in the second half of the season is the norm. This is who we are under Mack.

Honestly, I almost hope for an embarrassing blowout. We need Mack to bow out.
