You follow UNC football right?

Have you heard anything concerning that defense? Has Chizik done anything to fix the defense, especially the big play problem?

I think Marquise Williams and that offense will be a T20 offense this season. They return everyone and I don't think USCe will be able to slow them down all that much. Nothing about the USCe defense scares me. Unproven defensive line and a secondary that struggled last year (will be better this year but will have their hands full with UNC offense).

What is keeping me off UNC in this game is their defense's inability to stop the big play and with Pharoh Cooper lined up on the other side of the ball, I fear a 200+ 2 TD game from him. I saw UNC returned just about everyone in the secondary, so that should help. But I am unfamiliar with Chizik style of defense (outside the fact that he is running the 4-3).

Maybe others can shed some light on the strengths and weaknesses of Chizik defenses?

Over might be the better play.

Edit: I need to learn to look at injury reports before posting. Jerrell Adams is doubtful for Thursday game against UNC. Only helps that UNC defense.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but I know I read earlier in the thread people wanted to fade Savannah State and someone said line wouldn't be up until Saturday

Line is on 5dimes right now. Colorado St -49

Marquise Williams seems to get plenty of love, but I always thought he is pretty overrated. Especially when he has to face solid defenses. There have been times, like last years game at Miami, where he has looked even completely inept.

He does say now that he is as healthy as he has been since high school, but it's a pretty tough game to cap especially with the uncertainty at QB for USC. Who knows how Mitch will play?
