If it makes you feel better, I’m not confident we’d make it if it comes down to a field goal.You're being generous assuming we can actually kick a field goal. I'd bet money special teams affects us negatively in some way, like it has many times this season
Very surprised it didn't turn out like this. I felt & still do that the Cocks were 3 TDs better.Well, it's Friday, so time for me to put up or shut up. After letting it marinate all week.....my thoughts:
-I believe for the first time since 2012, the Cocks are the superior team. Yeah, I know we beat 'em by 2 scores in 2013, but we didn't have the superior roster that game, & in 2022, we just made plays & they made mistakes.
-If you look at the game's history, when both teams are ranked in the top 20, the Cocks are 5-1, with the only loss coming in the Push Off Game, so in theory, we should be 6-0 in those contests
-All week this game has given me 1994 vibes. That year, played up there, both teams came in with identical records & were literally playing for the same prize, which was bowl eligibility.
-The eye test. Carolina just flat out looks superior.
Therefore.......& I hope I don't regret my strong confidence......
