Our goal this week - Win 2 games in a row

For once the pressure is on Duke.
is it? I think both sides got pressure.

Our team has to feel what's expected of them, players and coaches. Show me you are a different team now. You can't beat Pitt and lose to Duke next week.
 
One day at a time. One week at a time. Much more even keeled leadership now. Kids will be kids but I don’t expect a lack of focus. Anyone’s game. They know they can still make the ACCCG.
 
The schedule didn’t leave us much room for error with respect to bowl eligibility, but the road win at Pitt is encouraging. We need 4 more, with Duke being the real litmus test game. Win on Saturday, and our odds against UVA and VT look good. I think we have a good chance of picking up one more against UNC, Miami, or FSU. We may look back at UCF as the game that got away, but I’d put our odds of a bowl game now at 50/50. As far as winning the Coastal, we have the potential tie-breaker against Pitt, and the loss to Clemson factors into a Divisional tie as a non-Coastal game. I could easily see a 3 way tie of teams at 5-3 this year, but a loss to Duke would really be a blow to all this speculation.

I want us to play well in the next 2 and win 1. That would be a sign of improvement and the team is listening to Key and gaining confidence.

I hope we win both.
 
One game at a time. Not only that, we should be trying to win each quarter, each possession and each play. Keep it simple.
 
We haven’t done that since late 2018. Amazing it has been that long and how numb you get to continued failures.
I wasn’t a fan of jingling keys at the end of a home game win, but that may be a funny thing to do if we can beat Duke.
