KEY EARLY-SEASON GAME: vs. Virginia Tech, Sept. 9 -- After opening against an improved Rutgers team the week before, the Tar Heels jump into league play against defending division champ Virginia Tech their next outing. The Heels were competitive for a half against the Hokies last season. Getting them at Chapel Hill could make the difference, especially since the Hokies may have some unanswered questions lingering about their quarterback.

THE TAR HEELS WILL SUCCEED IF
The defense continues the improvement it showed in 2005, and either Joe Dailey or Cam Sexton steps up at quarterback.

THE TAR HEELS WILL FAIL IF
The early-season schedule puts them in an early hole they can't climb out of. After facing Virginia Tech at home in the second game, the Heels get Furman at home but then must go on the road for back-to-back games against Clemson and Miami. A 1-4 start could put the Heels in a hopeless hole with games against Georgia Tech and Notre Dame still to come.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"Not even close. Not even close. We have more speed, more quickness, more size and more toughness." - Coach John Bunting, asked to compare the current team with the one from three years ago.

 The loss of Shaun Draughn on the first play from scrimmage in the Duke game was just another in a long line of injury woes the Tarheels have suffered on offense this season. This is particularly frustrating as it comes at a time when Carolina's running attack was finally rounding into shape. After rushing for a total of 500 yards in thier first five games, for an average of just over 83 yard ...(more)

I'd like to hear others' opinions on our lack of TDs in the Red Zone. With our D, I'd like to see a little more agressive play in the red zone. While I like putting points on the board, I prefer 6's to 3's. If we're inside the 20, I feel like the risk is worth it, given that our defense will likely force a punt a majority of the time. What do you all think?

It's here.  The only game of the season that counts every year.  With all respect to "Da Huvster", a dookie does not post the game day thread on the CAROLINA Boards.  A Tar Heel does that.  And the dookies have a lot more respect than last year when they missed a 25 yar ...(more)

Just read that Shaun is out for the year with this shoulder injury.  Wanted to see what everyone thinks about this.  I tihnk this is a pretty tough injury to take.  The running game has been solid the past couple of weeks using Draughn and Houston.  Right when we were starting to get everyone back healthy, our top rusher is out for the season.  They must have mis-diagnosed ...(more)

Should be a good one.  We beat UVA, you lost to UVA, we both played VT close, but you guys cam away with the win.  Our QB is great, lets just call TJ Yates sub par.  Our running game is horrible, Draughn is one of the best backs in the ACC.  This will be a very good game, but since it's in Chapel Hill I think you guys have a slight edge.  You could argue that Duke and UNC ...(more)

 Well here we go, Thursday is rolling around again and that means the Tarheels will be playing again in a little over 48 hours. I have read what all of you have posted this week following the FSU loss. I can tell some of you are very upset and frustrated, and I can certainly understand how you feel even if I don't agree with everything you post. First off, I agree that the coaching staff blew ...(more)

Yates has not been very good this year at QB. It is time for a change before it is too late. We now have to win 4 of our last 5 games to even qualify for a bowl bid. Yates first pass was 10 feet over the guys head and why that pass that was intercepted when we were running so well?

Walk down our Lane? We just did baby, and it was a very enjoyable walk. We have been close the past two years and finally got over the hump.

Unfortunately now you look at the UVA and last week's game and say we could be 3-1 in the ACC. But lets just enjoy this one

With the O-line struggling in depth this year, I think it's time to shake things up a little. I think everyone will agree that TJ Yates is one of the most efficient passers in college AS LONG AS he has plenty of time to throw. Well, with the struggles up front he's getting flushed out of the pocket every time he drops back to pass and Shaun Draughn is getting absolutely no holes to work with ...(more)

Well it is our 2nd Thursday night in as many weeks.  Last week we showed we could play with a good program, but we failed to stay with Fla State in their comeback to beat us by 3 points.  It will be tough quitening the loud boisterous Hokie crowd if they get ahdead of us early.  I feet T.J. Yates needs to continue his running game attack and incorporate a lot more passing that ...(more)

Despicable. Terrible. Complete crap. What other words can you use to describe Carolina's performance against FSU tonight? "The #1 passing defense" gives up about 400 yards and 3 touchdowns? The Heels offense only generates 3 points in the final 25 minutes of the game against one of the worst defenses in the entire country? Everyone associated with UNC football should be embarrassed. As a ...(more)

I went searching and saw no one had started, so here it is.  I am excited to be able to see the Heels out of the Carolina viewing area.  Our Carolina Panthers started the kill Fla week with a victory at Tampoon Bay.  Now it is up to our Heels to continue. 

I think our defense can play with anyone when clicking, however they can not stay of the field for 48 minutes a

I know nothing about Georgia Southern...just that WE want to beat them.  Here's hoping for a good Carolina Victory
