Not sure what you mean. W&M continued to throw the ball throughout the second half. Threw more passes in the second half than we did in the first.
17 of those pass attempts in the 2nd half came on the last two drives when W&M was losing late. Laycock tried to recycle the 2009 game plan of Tresselball that worked in the 2nd half against UVA the year before but UNC was just a shade more competent.

You're just full of it on this. Because a drive ends with a dropped pass, or an incompletion doesn't define an overly conservative game plan. UNC got three sacks in the second half as well. The 2010 team was very different from the 2009 team, and the two games played out in very different ways. The second half offensive stats for the two opponents yield incite to our defensive depth as a major difference between 2009 and 2010. UNC was also a much better team than UVA. Both games featured tremendous effort from both our coaches and our players. You've said some dumb things on here, but blaming Paulus' injury on a Laycock game plan (which you obviously know nothing about) is perhaps the dumbest yet.
As to the thread topic and overall discussion, we do indeed use our FBS scheduling as a recruiting tool, and our players do indeed look forward to these games every year.

I see we've reached the part where you start hurling insults knowing if I match your tone you'll cry and get me banned. Here I was thinking you actually wanted to have a discussion. I should know better by now. I had actual stats ready to post showing they did indeed slow down their offense and get more conservative but what's the point?
If W&M is leading at the end he doesn't get drilled trying to make a throw. That's what I meant and that's all I meant.

I was actually at the game. The Tribe played great that day. It was a very warm day though and by the 4th quarter you could see the Tribe beginning to wear down. Obviously UNC had a deeper bench and I believe that added to the ultimate result. No blame needs to be assigned anywhere and my memory is still of the great effort the Tribe put forth. The UNC fans were great, with many commenting to us what a great team we had. BTW--I can't say that for Va. Tech fans. Rudest and most arrogant fans I've ever met.
As it was, UNC really never drove on us at the end to win a tough, hard-nosed struggle...the winning touchdown was a 50 yard run where two of our guys went the wrong way in their line coverage.

If you'd started with that tone, and that's really all you meant, then we wouldn't be talking like this. You were "hurling insults" at Laycock that were unfounded. I was also at that game and the stats will never tell the full story.
