Us having so many penalties makes sense (new schemes on both sides + the number of FR and SOs getting significant minutes). Opponent penalties is more difficult to explain although I haven't noticed too many missed calls watching the games.

ACC conspiracy against us.

It would be interesting to see how many of those penalties/yards are illegal motion/shift/formation/false start/etc. calls versus penalties not impacted by the option.
Seems like we've been nailed for numerous stupid personal fouls this year - But that's nothing new - Happened fairly frequently under Gailey as well.
On the other hand, the fact that our opponents are averaging the lowest number of penalty yards per game is a strong indication of the typical home crowd/atmosphere influence on ACC refs. Hopefully, we can reap some benefit from that vs Duke, UVa, F$U, and THugU. Hopefully, BDS will be rocking for those games (OK, maybe not for the Dookies).
BTW, are we getting SEC refs for the game tomorrow, or a split crew, or a "non-partisan" crew? I'm assuming it would certainly not be an ACC crew (but I don't know if that's necessarily a bad thing, anyway).

It shows how bad our starting left guard is.

We have had at least two blocking penalties for 15 yards each. I also remember several false starts.
I wonder where BC and VT finished in penalties last year. I'll bet they were both pretty good about not getting called for a lot of penalties.
