How many times have you watched them play?
If they keep guys healthier than last year, they are much improved over the team that beat Penn State.
They beat Penn State in the first game of the year. With a brand new coaching staff in the first yr after the Sandusky scandal. No one was even surprised Penn St. lost. If they played in week 6, Penn State beats the breaks off them.
Ohio is the same team that lost to Miami, OH by 20 points. What an awesome team they were....
MAC attack. Best conference in the country according to giles.
They lost to Miami of Ohio by 3 points.
What? When?
Someone touting Ohio who is the MAC, must feel that their conference is good. If Ohio is soooo good they must play against good competition.
I am saying I think they will be in the top 40% of FBS football (125 teams). As long as they stay healthy, which was their problem last year.
I was impressed with their defense. UNC is going to put up some points this season.
thank you weso1!
UNC will, but I think it's bc they will open it up more. They were so concerned with Clowney, they just dink and dunked and threw WR screens all night even though Clowney was doing nothing.
Clowney will force every team to gameplan around him. UT may be the only team with a LT who can consistently block him that is on their schedule.
thank you weso1!
My mistake, it was Kent State who beat them by 20. They still aren't close to a top 50 team.

Oh, you mean they lost to a top 25 team? Wow, that's amazing. You follow football so closely.
This is true, but Clowney had nothing week 1. UNC failed to recognize this and adjust their game plan.
Word was Clowney was sick, stomach flu.
Certainly looked sick/hurt
Giles, I live in Columbia sc and Clowney is so ****ing overhyped and overrated. dudes injury prone. Didn't play in a lot of the spring due to hamstring and if you looked closely you would see him favoring his hamstring last week. His coaches say he doesn't give 100%. Dudes what 260 lbs? clowneys an athletic freak but he's not good enough to be a good NFL DE. I'd take tuitt from ND over Clowney everyday of the week
Never said anything about Kent State. Just clarifying the earlier mistake of who beat them by 20 points. Losing to Miami, OH who was probably one of the worst teams in all of college football last yr certainly is proof Ohio is such a great team
Having watched the majority of USC games the last few yrs, I would have to say you are dead wrong. He does take off plays at times, but he is without a doubt the best defensive player in college football right now. You can only slow him down for so long. Tennessee did the best job last yr at containing him, but at he finally got free at the end of the game and forced a late fumble on a Tennessee drive in USC territory
And he was indeed sick last week. That reported before the game even started. A stomach virus is going to sap your energy. But UNC still did a good job of containing him regardless.
Which begs the question. How good is the defense going to be when Clowney plays up to his ability?
thank you weso1!
