Set the bar higher?

The most impressive thing about today's shock of a win in Winston-Salem on Homecoming there was a possession in the fourth quarter where P.J. Daniels simply took it to one of the best defensive lines in the ACC. Here's the line:

Daniels up middle for 8
Daniels up middle for 3
Daniels up middle for 14
Daniels up middle for 11
Daniels up middle for 2
Smith left side for 6
Daniels up middle for 5
Daniels up middle for 3
Ball right side for 6
Ball up middle for 1
Ace Eziemefe (since Daniels is on oxygen) up middle for 3
Ace up middle for 3
Ball up middle for 5
Daniels up middle for 3
Daniels up middle for 4
Daniels up middle for 1, touchdown sealing victory at 24-7

Credit to the O-line, but still...just get on his back?!?!? Daniels finishes the day with 33 carries and 176 yards against a great run defense. Bring that to the table against Maryland and we have a chance.

How does 4-3, 2-2 and 5th in the conference sound? Maybe Brian wasn't smoking when he predicted 6 wins...
