at least they won

The game against a very good FCS William and Mary team would fall into the category of "at least they won." I watched the game on my trusty Dell laptop on espn3.com and the first half was ugly to watch from both an offensive and defensive standpoint and the second half wasn't much better. They just didn't play with any emotion on either side of the ball so I don't know if they still had a Miami hangover or what. They will end up having to play the team managers and waterboys if they lose any more players. You could feel the absence of Zach Pianalto on T.J. Yates interception on the second series of the game as he and Ryan Taylor just were not on the same page. The Mike Paulus, the QB transfer from North Carolina to William and Mary, we saw in the first half was the player North Carolina recruited in 2006. The Mike Paulus we saw in the second half was the player that played at North Carolina. It helped the the 'Heels defensive line finally got a little bit of pressure on him to the tune of three sacks. It was just a plodding, boring game that I thought could have used some more passing and spreading the field a little bit more. Dwight Jones has started turning into the player that everyone thought he was going to be coming out of high school (8 catches for 104 yards) and Jhay Boyd from Gastonia has all but disappeared after his breakout game against LSU (1 catch for -1 yards)and T.J. Yates seems to have lost the confidence he had earlier in the season. Johnny White had another monster game (160+ yards) and it would be tough for me to imagine what the 'Heels record would be if he had gotten caught up in the NCAA mess in Chapel Hill.
