Duke at Louisville, Friday 7 pm, ESPN

Post by Bob Green » October 10th, 2016, 3:03 pm

The line in Vegas is currently 33 points. Getting through this game with no serious injuries seems like an honorable goal. Survive Louisville then rest up/heal up during the bye week so we can go beat Georgia Tech in Atlanta.

I'll set the over/under on the number of pass attempts by Duke at 50 and take the over.

Wonder what the TD/INT ratio would be.

This is a great opportunity for Daniel Jones to mature in a "Trial by Fire" way. His decision making will be critical. Without Jela Duncan, I am concerned we will not be able to establish a running game.

Dumb penalty effectively ended the game. After what was a very good effort by our defense.

Between the mind numbing numbers of Up The Middle plays, the injuries we tallied, and the questionable fumble call, I was really impressed how strong our guys played. Great effort, which bodes well for the future.

Not confirmed yet, but I received an email saying both WR Anthony Nash and P Austin Parker have broken collarbones.

Good time for a long bye week, but it ain't gonna be long enough to fix broken bones. Sigh.

Punter Austin Parker had surgery today. No word yet on Anthony Nash. UNC receiver Mack Hollins also broke his collarbone yesterday.
