While the significance wasn't there, the UNC-NC St. game was one of the better games I've seen all year. NC St. played with a home crowd fired up about a rivalry game and came literally inches from losing on that last fade pass.
So, are we really much better than NC St. at this point? To be honest, it doesn't look like it. UNC passes it very well and seems to play good enough defense to stop our offense. I've gone from mildly confident about this game to serious doubt about a win.
BTW, as I've said before, we're definitely going to a bowl this year. It might be out west, but we will not be sitting at home.
