FB: Richmond Spiders at North Carolina Tar Heels

38-10. We exorcise a lot of demons on this one. Doesn’t necessarily alter the course of the season moving forward, but it is a game we leave feeling better about things.

I’m extremely conflicted about how the rest of this drive will play out.

I don't know if we exorcised any demons.

But we certainly exercised a Demon.

Got better today…Changing the culture and getting better every day….

On to UCF…

 

[whatntarnation]

Better then the week before! Need to keep getting better if we want to take it to UCF. I thought Bryce was coming in at qb, but it was Newkirl.

Demon has cemented RB1.

Man hits the hole like Johnny Holmes

 

[GoHeelsweeeehoooo]

I thought it was weird that Richmond kicked a field goal at the end

I don't get why he did not play the Backup-Max??

I was glad. Regardless of the competition level, I wanted a second consecutive game with no TD allowed. It’s probably been a while since the last time that happened for UNC.

Because Max has had plenty of game action. The freshmen need game reps, too.

Have not watched a single snap today. How do we look overall (obviously adjusting for the weak competition)?

Well we found our rb.

 

[Enigma94]

Demon hits the hole as fast as any rb I can remember. He gets downhill so fast that if there’s any hole he’s through it before the defense can react.

 

[PTOHeel]

Showing steady improvement, especially on D. Love June as a true freshman RB1. I feel better today than I did the last couple of weeks.

 

[Batt Boy]

Showing slow improvement, but man, the O line has trouble getting a push when we NEED to run it.

That is one area where getting Blaske back will help tremendously. He is our best Olinemen and has been really missed the first three weeks. Word on the street is that he may suit up against UCF. And he looks to be tracking to play vs Clemson.

Isn’t this Max’s last year of eligibility?

Nothing gained by playing Max late in a blow-out.

According to the TV broadcast, it had been 13 years.

2012.

We beat ECU 27-6 and the next week we beat Idaho 66-0. Fedora was really good against the bad teams.

Great point
He has Armando Bacot type experience

Was waiting for the elevator to the Mezzanine pregame and when it opened one of the gameday staff stepped up and told the elevator operator that Governor Stein was ready to go up. Doug (elevator guy) asked dad if he minded waiting for him to take the Governor's group up and come right back for him. Governor Stein spoke up from behind us and said "no, absolutely not. They were here first. We can wait".

Just thought that was a nice little anecdote from the day.

 

[SnoopRob]

I took a nap for the second half, anything I should be looking for when I watch it later?

I’m glad we kept it going and solidly put Richmond away.
