UNC is now 7-20-1 against UVa in the Welsh era.
There is no positive way to spin this. We lost at home to a team who lost at home to William & Mary.
Against BCS teams we are averaging less than 200 yards of offense per game.The offensive line is decimated, the wide receivers are still green, and John Shoop hasn’t changed up anything. At all.As bad as T.J. Yates has played, Dave Shinskie is in a better offensive situation than he is. And that’s saying a lot.
If the situation does not change–and there is very little indication that it will–missing out on a bowl is a very real possibility.
Considering what the preseason aspirations were, it’s very difficult to face the truth: despite talented players and a good defense, Carolina is a bad team right now.
And that makes me a sad, sad panda.
