Good news is that this is (by far) the toughest non-con team we will play for the next 6 years.

The offense did absolutely no favors for the defense tonight. Shame, but on to W.Michigan and at least we aren't Northwestern!!

Any QB recruit should see playing time available. Lunt has just looked bad and we still don't have anyone trusted to come in.

Pegged us at 5 wins before the season, we never had a real chance in this game. We just don't have the talent to compete right now.

Yes, I think everyone is blowing this out of proportion. We were pegged to win 5 games before the season. North Carolina is a good team. This is a better showing than I expected. I believe we will make a bowl, may win as many as 7 this season. We don't have the talent to compete with top 25 teams, but we are getting the talent to compete.

Aren't there any quarterbacks in the stands we can get to come play?

J just hit the nail on the head. It's not that we lost. It's that our "seniors" played sloppy, undisciplined and/or scared tonight. That's what bothers me.

This team is not as far as I thought the Coaching staff would have them at this point.

It is what it is- But I still think there will be improvement- Just not now.

Western Michigan is going to give us fits in the next game.
