    1)DeeeeFENCE, DeeeeFENCE, DeeeeFENCE!

    2)4th Down Efficiency Defense is STRONG. Wonder what first and second down efficiency looks like?

    3)Who decision was it to keep Bryan Underwood off the field in the first six games of the year?????

    4)Ranked 11th in the league in total offense. NICE.

    Well, we better improve the run game, or else UNC’s going to just pin their ears back and make Glennon beat them, which he might do, but then again he might not.

  3. Prowling Woofie 11/02/2011 at 11:54 AM #

    If the O-Line doesn’t give Glennon more time than he had last week, he won’t survive. Time to once again grow a pair, guys… and the Tight Ends need to show up with their hands attached, too.

    2 things stick out about these stats. Red Zone efficiency. Offense is 80th in the nation and defense is 106th. Those numbers stick out like sore thumbs.

    George Bryan has fewer catches than Bryan Underwood.
    Let that sink in.

  6. WV Wolf 11/02/2011 at 1:33 PM #

    Actually George Bryan has more catches than Bryan Underwood (13 to 10) but Underwood has more yards (207 to 130).

    However howlie’s point still stands.

    Doomed………..we’re doomed!

    Rushing Yards: 105.9 (ACC Rank: 10, Nat’l Rank: 105)
    Sacks Allowed – 98

    This ain’t good (not that there was much good to be found in the numbers).

    Hopefully this will be the last time we see TOB on the sidelines against UNC. Against them he has a great record, but other BCS teams he sucks, and we need a change. Beating UNC is not enough to save his job.

  10. DC_wolf 11/02/2011 at 3:37 PM #

    howlie, WV, you guys touched on something I was going to ask about: what has happened to our pre-season watch list tight end? Does he have some kind of nagging injury that’s keeping him outside the top 5 in receptions?

    Or, is George Bryan just pulling a Brandon Costner?

    I did some similar analysis on another site yesterday regarding the SL and HWSNBN offenses, defenses and MG’s history. What struck me when I looked at SL was how bad we were year in and year out in defense (10th or worse in the conference) and how mediocre to bad we were on offense (high water mark of 4th in the ACC, but must years around 10th). Really, that’s all one needed to know about his tenure — we stunk on offense, stunk on defense and thus stunk overall.

    I mention that because the same thing strikes me as I look at these numbers. Outside of a few guys having great years in certain categories (e.g. Amerson on interceptions and Graham on return yards), we’re bad on offense, bad on defense and bad overall. There’s no way to really sugar coat it.
