Are we good? Are we not good? Is our O-line experienced and talented? Is our defense improved?
But for real, to avoid sounding whiny and bitchy- it'll be interesting to see what happens from here. We got BEAT. We left points on the board against a great, really good team. Gave up a bogus TD run that pushed it to 30 points. So it could have been a completely different ballgame and I believe we could've hung with those guys. And make no mistake, ND showed their true colors today- not against Virginia. I know we were saying we wanted to be first to "expose them" and that may happen, but I don't think so.
I'm most concerned about our O line. I don't know why they looked so bad. Last year, they were the rock that held the offense together against the better teams on our schedule.
The best I can hope for is that this game is like the Dook game last year- after that, our offense woke up completely after looking dead. Even against UNC. ND is a far better team than Duke was, so hopefully we can still pull together a great year.
