NC/Pitt looks to be a 2-0 fight in the trenches between two good defenses. Hard to imagine UNC scoring on them though, with that offense.

I dont see how FSU/WV is a deserving matchup, and I dont think it’ll be as exciting without Ponder in it. If he were, it might be one of those 52-45 games.

I really hope you guys beat SC in the Nut bowl, but I dont think you can.

Wow.

I’m torn on drawing USC. Great to get a ‘name’ opponent – certainly has more cache to it than most of the teams BC beat during their 11-bowl winning streak. Shinskie is going to have to accelerate his learning curve over the next 20 days, because USC’s speed is more like that of Virginia Tech, Clemson, and UNC.

i would have liked stanford, but.....

Our defense should be able to hold them in check, not so sure about our offense. Uncle Dave doesnt do well with defenses.

Montel Harris right; Montel Harris left.

That needs to be the offensive game plan. Win the battle on the line of scrimmage and I think we can wear down USC.
