    Did anyone else notice how many times we had excellent field position?

    6 times we started with the ball on the UNC side of the field?

    4 times we had the ball around our 40 yard line to start the possession. Which means, 30 yards and we're in Jasper's range.

    That's 10 times we had the ball at our own 40 or better.
    Turnovers, penalties and probably play-calling ate our lunch.

    Specifically, we had 3 straight chances in the 3rd quarter to put the game away and couldn't put together 1 stinking scoring drive.

    Zero offensive drives IMHO.

    Exactly.

    All we needed was 1 10 play, 60 yard drive that put points on the board in the 3rd quarter (and taken 5 min off the clock) and we would've had a totally different finish.

    This is correct.

    We had not one sustained drive all night long.

    That is embarrassing against a defense missing 7 of it's players.
