UNC

HD is claiming this weekend to be the hardest game to pick this weekend, and to be honest I have to agree with her. UNC was projected to be great this year, then they sucked. Then UNC beat FSU and they have gotten increasingly better since then. Granted both the FSU and Miami games were at home (where Harris threw 4 picks) but you have to admit that UNC has looked pretty impressive in the past few weeks.
Enter BC who looked pretty weak against a poor UVA team last weekend but has been stellar at home. In the end I think that home edge gives us the win. We have a good team, the UVA game featured some weird play calling and missed opportunities that shouldnt be repeated. For some reason we suck on the road but we should be pretty good at home. Add in the fact that its Senior Day and you get a little extra motivation @ home. Theres been some question as to who wears # 31 this weekend, I always thought it went to the guy who got the scholarship (Wes Davis) but I would hedge my bets on Marty "Boomcat" Bowman to be rocking the Jersey come Saturday.

In other news Recruiting has picked up.
The big news seems to be Swigert, a slot receiver with tons of upside. He was actually playing QB before he got hurt this year so maybe we'll see some more wildcat option throws like we got in the Steve Logan days.
We also picked up a new face at TE in Jarrett Darmstratter, and I'll be honest I just like saying his name...Darmstratter. Apparently we want two TEs in this class but I wouldn't be surprised to see more TEs come in and see some shifts to DE.
Speaking of DE the news this weekend is of a visit from Josh Watson (along with 6'7" teammate and 0-lineman Laurence Gibson). To be honest we really need to land this kid. We missed out on all our big targets and this guy looks to be a solid DE prospect with plenty of upside. Next years Depth Chart really includes 4 DEs, injury prone (though if hes healthy I predict 29 sacks and 86 TFLs) Alex Albright and Max Holloway on the rush side and by-the-book Brad Newman on the strong side backed up by the relatively unknown German Kasim Edebali on the strong side (apparently Momah has been practicing with the DEs as well just because of the lack of Depth). If any of these guys go down next year we're going to be up shits creek without a paddle unless we bring in some impact guys with this years class.
