The Michigan offense and starters

MIchigan Offense -- Four Factors	eFG% (National Rank)	TO%	OR%	FT Rate
2014-15	49.4 (146)	15.6 (11)	25.5 (325)	26.6 (350)
2015-16	59.3 (12)	15.6 (54)	26.3 (258)	31.0 (277)

With some exceptions here and there, you know what you're going to get from John Beilein's Michigan offenses: the Wolverines tend to be efficient through good shooting, taking a whole bunch of threes, and avoiding turnovers; they typically ignore offensive boards, and they don't generate a lot of trips to the free throw line.

They're also slow-paced. While the shortened shot clock has added about six possessions per 40 minutes to UM's games this season, they're still near the bottom of D-I in tempo. That's the way Beilein likes it, and it's hard to argue with the results.

Michigan appears to have regained its shooting form after an injury-plagued 2014-15 season led some uncharacteristically substandard production from inside and beyond the arc. They are coming into the game Tuesday on fire, having posted an eFG% above 70.0 in each of their last two contests.

The Wolverines are shooting 44.9% (7th nationally) from three-point range, while 45.2% (25th nationally) of their attempts have come from outside. Yes, folks, as if we haven't been tortured enough by the three-ball this season, we now get to contend with what has so far been an elite perimeter-oriented offense. Joy.

I figure the Martin twins will be crucial on the defensive side, what with all the rangy wing types that Michigan can put out on the floor, including leading scorer Caris LeVert, who is listed at 6'7.

LeVert is part of a backcourt trio that's been the backbone of Michigan's offense, though deciphering this team's rotation is next to impossible right now. Nine players are averaging at least 10 minutes per game, while a total of 12 guys have played in at least five of the Wolverines' games.

Starters

Derrick Walton (6-1, 190) -- Walton is second on the team in scoring thanks to a blazin' 14-20 start from beyond the arc. He's not quite that good from outside, but dude is better than 40% from deep in 2+ seasons. He's got a good assist rate, though the turnover rate is a bit high. He's also been excellent at generating steals.

Caris LeVert (6-7, 205) -- Hey, speakin' of good outside shooting, LeVert is off to a 12-20 start himself. (Are you starting to see why the Wolverines' team 3FG% is so good early on?) LeVert is the unquestioned leader at the offensive end, and willing create some offense off the bounce. He's a career 39.9% three-point shooter, though just a 43.8% shooter inside the arc. Given a choice, it's clear where you'd prefer he do his shooting. He is a good passer who can also draw fouls at a decent clip.

Aubrey Dawkins (6-6, 205) -- Look, another good three-point shooter! Career 42.3% from three in 1+ seasons.

Kameron Chatman (6-8, 215) -- Showed a willingness to take threes last season, but hit only 26.3% of them. He's 0-6 this season, so that aspect of his game is still lacking. Anything he gives them scoring-wise will be gravy. Solid rebounder at both ends.

Ricky Doyle (6-9, 250) -- Proven capable in the paint, but will defer to everybody else around him. Good offensive rebounder.

The Michigan bench and defense

Reserves: Spike Albrecht (5-11, 175), Zak Irvin (6-6, 215), Duncan Robinson (6-8, 210), D.J. Wilson (6-10, 240), Moritz Wagner (6-10, 225), Mark Donnal (6-9, 225), Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman (6-4, 185). Here it is, the bench entanglement. Who will play when and how much! Who will shoot when and how much! Who will rebound when okay I'm stopping.

Albrecht is not at 100% after having surgery on his hip during the offseason, and has played sparingly as a result. It's possible he doesn't play against NC State at all. When healthy, he can bee a major-difference maker. The Wolverines will just have to he gets there before the meat of the Big Ten schedule hits.

Irvin and Robinson have been playing starters' minutes, such as they are with this group (so, like 20-25 MPG), and while Robinson has come off the bench exclusively, Irvin has made four starts. Robinson's shot have been almost exclusively from outside, which I suppose is fine since he's 15-25 from three.

Irvin is getting back into the flow after a back injury, and so far he's struggling to make threes. But he is one of the most prolific three-point shooters in Michigan history and for his career is shooting nearly 37% from outside.

Figure Irvin and Robinson, along with LeVert, Walton, and Dawkins, will be the major point producers. As for everybody else ... who knows?

Michigan Defense -- Four Factors	eFG% (National Rank)	TO%	OR%	FT Rate
2014-15	50.9 (247)	19.4 (145)	31.2 (175)	26.7 (9)
2015-16	49.3 (171)	17.4 (224)	30.4 (178)	33.8 (108)

Beilein will run some zone concepts, though he probably doesn't play zone as often with Michigan as he did in his West Virginia days. In any case, he has a long track record of mediocre-to-worse defenses, and that is one potential drawback to constructing a perimeter-oriented roster. It's great to have bigs who can shoot (and make free throws!), but those types of players can struggle defensively against more traditional post players. (This was a problem for NC State during the Herb Sendek Princeton offense years. The trade-off was worth it, but still.)

The Wolverines tend not to be disruptive, whether we're talking about blocks or steals, and in each of the last two seasons, opponents have shot better than 50% inside the arc. That's a rough combination, even if they have mastered the art of defense without fouling (though that strength is taking a hit with the rules changes) and do a decent job on the glass.

The Pomeroy Predictor likes State by one point, with both teams easily clear of a point per possession. Let's hope the Pack brings their shootin' shoes. (And/or their scorin' shoes.)

NC State TE Jaylen Samuels and OL Joe Thuney earn 1st-team All-ACC honors

NC State has two players on the All-ACC first team, and both are worthy selections: Jaylen Samuels, who was highly productive from the FB/TB/TE/Jaylen Samuels positions; and Joe Thuney, who was his usual solid, versatile self in 2015. Defensive end Mike Rose earned second-team honors.

The complete first team:

All-ACC 1st Team: http://pic.twitter.com/y6xHt6lFKJ

— Mark Armstrong (@ArmstrongABC11) November 30, 2015

Samuels was fourth in the ACC in receptions with 64 and fourth in touchdown receptions with seven. Both numbers were tops among ACC tight ends.

In addition, Matt Dayes, Nyheim Hines, Bra'Lon Cherry, and Quinton Schooley received honorable mentions. Dayes may have been on his way to a first-team nod were it not for the foot injury that ended his season early. Dayes is still the Pack's leading rusher by a huge margin. (/grumbles for three hours about what could have been)

It's been a while since NC State had a pair of first-team honorees, much less two on the same side of the ball.

Thuney & Samuels mark @PackFootball's first pair of All-ACC 1st-teamers since 2011 (Amerson & Graham). 2 first-teamers on O is 1st since '03

First in extremism: NC's role in domestic terrorism

It may be a hard pill to swallow, but the truth often is:

Another terrorist attack. Another grim tally of the dead and wounded. Another killer full of hate, from a land that breeds such men. Like millions of migrants before him, the perpetrator crossed the border unchallenged. And like others, he struck our country without warning.

Our politicians say they’ll stop these killers. They talk about building walls and vetting refugees. If we were serious, we would do it. We would seal our borders against North Carolina.

I had a very similar conversation over the weekend, in which I listed a half-dozen or so North Carolina-bred terrorists. And (of course) mental illness was mentioned more than once, which has become our default rationalization. It's not a corollary or cause & effect formula, they both exist independent of each other: We don't dedicate enough resources to treat the mentally ill, *and* we have developed a society that views (Christian) religious extremists as "very faithful" instead of dangerous. And when they cross the line, we don't blame the pastor who pushed them over the line with his teachings, we say he wasn't wired right. Unless he attacks an abortion clinic, which way too many of our citizens view as justifiable:

NC Pre-K floundering: Time for Leandro III lawsuit

Where's the bond to strengthen our human infrastructure?

That’s of concern. But what’s even more concerning is that, as of last month, there’s a waiting list, 500 or 600 deep in Forsyth County alone, of parents who want their children to be in Head Start or N.C. Pre-K, and it can’t go unsaid that the reason they’re not enrolled is the cuts to these programs enacted by the state legislature.

Here are children who want to learn, and parents who want their children to learn. Here’s a state that is traditionally dedicated to quality education for all. And here’s a state legislature that’s more interested in giving raises to UNC chancellors than providing preschool for 4-year-olds in working families. These priorities are skewed.

Their priorities are skewed, and as they've proven numerous times in the past, the GOP leadership will not follow the law unless and until a court decision requires them to. Republicans have made several legal arguments over the last few years in an effort to abandon these children, but the core requirements of Leandro are still in place:

State of oligarchy

In North Carolina, for those with very rich friends, campaign finance laws no longer matter. According to a recent ruling by the state board of election, outside groups funded by wealthy donors can now coordinate directly with campaigns. The law does not apply to federal races but does to every other race on the ballot. […]

Return of an Old Friend?

We’re done with Thanksgiving so Senate Rules chairman Tom Apodaca (R-Hendersonville) has presumably made up his mind as to whether or not to run for reelection. It’s hard to think of a scenario where progressives would prefer Apodaca to run again. But this might be one of them: an Apodaca retirement could pave the way […]

As the coaching carousel turns: Justin Fuente is Frank Beamer's successor; Mike London fired by Virginia

As is typically the case, the final weekend of the college football regular season has been eventful. Virginia Tech has been ahead of everybody in this coaching search season and proved it Sunday by officially naming Memphis head coach Justin Fuente as Frank Beamer's replacement. The Hokies will retain defensive coordinator Bud Foster, which is a huge development for them.

Elsewhere in the ACC, we already know the Syracuse and Miami jobs are open, and Virginia opened up on Sunday when the school made Mike London's departure official. (Have to wonder, when they look back, if they regret not doing this last year considering the other jobs available right now.)

Georgia fired Mark Richt, who is not expected to take another job this year. Rutgers cleaned house and rid itself of Kyle Flood, who was a meddling dunce of a sad little man.

Penn State fired its offensive coordinator. Purdue opted to keep head coach Darrell Hazell but fired both coordinators. (That will work out great!) Toledo head coach Matt Campbell accepted the head job at Iowa State.

Carousel status check! Open jobs:

Now up to 15: Georgia, Maryland, Memphis, Miami, Mizzou, North Texas, Rutgers, South Carolina, Syracuse, Toledo, Tulane, UCF, ULM, USC, UVA

— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) November 29, 2015

Maryland is apparently targeting Michigan defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin. Georgia is apparently after Alabama DC Kirby Smart. If those moves happen, then there may be fewer big dominoes falling than anticipated. Syracuse is going to have to go mid-major head coach or high-major coordinator. Ditto Rutgers, I would think. Right now that leaves South Carolina, Missouri, Miami, Virginia, and USC as the programs that can (theoretically) shake things up and create additional movement by luring a solid coach from another solid power-five program.

NC State football recruiting: Three-star WR C.J. Riley commits to the Wolfpack

NC State got some good news on Friday night when wide receiver C.J. Riley announced his commitment to the Wolfpack. Riley had been considered a Nebraska lean (and that was the majority Crystal Ball pick), but it appears his visit the weekend of the Syracuse game was enough to solidify his decision to pick the Pack.

After discussing it with my family I'm blessed to say that I have officially committed to NC State #Wolfpack #Pack16 http://pic.twitter.com/vKVvvBR06L

— CJ Riley (@CJ_RILEY16) November 28, 2015

Riley is a consensus three-star prospect from North Broward Prep in Coconut Creek, FL (ew, coconuts gross). He is listed at 6'4 or 6'5, and anywhere between 180 and 188 pounds, depending on the recruiting service. Scout also has him listed with a 4.64 40-yard dash.

According to Rivals, he holds offers from West Virginia, Nebraska (obvs.), UCF, Pittsburgh, Duke, Purdue, Rutgers, Georgia Tech, and Cincinnati, among others.

This looks like a nice addition to the Pack's receiving corps, and one that was sorely needed. I've been praying to the football gods to send us a tall wide receiver, and here we got one. That's the exciting part about this addition--State needs to get bigger at WR, and this is a positive step in that direction.

Gene Nichol on the UNC athletics scandal

A public relations nightmare, or wet dream, depending on your perspective:

Over $5 million went to Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. The folks at Skadden, Arps got a couple million more. We paid $1.3 million to Bond, Schoeneck & King; another million to Baker, Tilly. Almost double that amount went to Edelman, a giant PR outfit, offering expertise on “corporate reputation management.” FleishmanHillard raked in almost $400,000. You’d think the Old Well had relocated to Madison Avenue.

High-dollar outside investigators were reportedly necessary because, after years of stonewalling and false assurance, no one would believe an analysis conducted by the administration.

This article will likely not endear Professor Nichol to the wig-wearing muckety mucks (they don't wear wigs here, that was an Oxford reference) administering UNC's flagship Universiity, but they should pay attention, nevertheless. You let your house get dirty, you clean it up yourself, so you can fully understand how the mess happened. And I have a feeling this particular mess was money-related in the first place:

North Carolina: The Morning After with Omega

It's hard to find a silver lining, but after the way it started it could have been much worse.

The NC State defense continued to struggle mightily against ranked opponents, surrendering 553 yards of offense Saturday afternoon in a 45-34 loss to rival North Carolina. Granted, they were no ordinary offenses—Clemson, Carolina, and Florida State will likely all be top 10 teams when the rankings are released today and the Tar Heels are second in the nation in yards per play—but the Pack allowed an insurmountable 7.29 yards per snap in those three losses to ranked opponents.

Led by a spirited performance by senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett, State kept up with Carolina in total yardage if not explosiveness but ultimately failed to turn long drives into touchdowns; that and an unfortunate first quarter where the team missed several opportunities to stall drives ultimately spelled doom. The Pack is a better team this year than last by about any metric you want to apply save the most important one—wins and losses—and finish a second consecutive season 7-5.

It's hard, even with the perspective of "the morning after," to come up with anything but ugly when you lose to the Sheep, but, in keeping with the format of this here weekly feature, let's look at the good, bad, and the ugly from the regular season finale.

The good:

• The team could have very easily folded after the 35-7 shellacking in the first quarter but continued to fight. Doing so not only eventually stoked the flames of epic comeback in our hearts, it also kept Carolina from running up the score to biblical beat-down proportions, a thing I have no doubt Larry Fedora would have done had he been able.
• State actually allowed more yards in the first quarter than it did over the rest of the game and "won" on the scoreboard 27-10 after the opening frame.
• Brissett struggled with his accuracy, completing just 17 of 37 throws, but nonetheless willed the Pack to a 514-yard performance. He was the Pack's leading rusher with 128 yards and accounted for two scores on the ground and two through the air.
• Jaylen Samuels was oddly absent in the run game (three rushes for five yards) but snatched six balls for a game-high 97 yards.
• David J. Grinnage again showed, as Steven brilliantly noted, that the J stands for Jtouchdown; he was on the receiving end of both of Brissett's TD tosses.
• The Pack forced three turnovers.
• Though trading three for seven was not a winning formula, freshman kicker Kyle Bambard showed no signs of his previous struggles with a couple of made field goals.
• A.J. Cole, speaking of freshman kickers, was again very good in the punt game, averaging 43.5 yards per boot and pinning three inside the 20.
• Cole's hang time kept Ryan Switzer from even attempting a return (and at least State kept one guy in check defensively as Switzer managed just 38 yards on eight catches).

The bad:

• NC State arguably got jobbed on the replay of Quinshad Davis's touchdown catch which came on third down (and thus likely would have resulted in the Heels having to settle for a field goal had it been overturned). The rule essentially states that a player must have firm control of the ball through the entire play for it to be a catch. Davis indeed had the ball and two feet down, but he coughed it up on his way to the ground. Officials typically take the position that "when in doubt, wipe it out" but did not do so in this instance.
• With the Pack down 21-7, Brissett badly overthrew a wide open Cole Cook on a third down throw. A catch there puts State in Carolina territory, perhaps leads to a score, and turns rather than adds to the massive momentum monster of suck before the game got so far out of hand.
• The Heels got a number of batted balls at the line, including one that Andre Smith picked and returned to the six which led to the 35-7 deficit.

The ugly:

• Two Pack players had Marquise Williams in their grasp on UNC's opening drive, but the QB spun out of the sack and threw the ball away, keeping Carolina from getting off schedule. A few plays later it was 7-0.
• On the next drive, Williams should have been thrown for a loss on third and two but again broke a tackle, this time going for a long run that set up the second score.
• On UNC's third drive, State again had Williams stopped short of the mark on third down but a late hit out of bounds gave Williams and crew a fresh set up downs. They scored on the next play, a 42-yard scamper from T.J. Logan.
• On the fourth drive, once again, Williams escaped a sack and threw the ball away to avoid a loss...a few plays later it was 28-7.
• Perhaps had the throwaways been sacks, UNC scores anyway, but at least twice it should have been fourth down and a punt but instead the Heels scored. Add to that the questionable touchdown ruling, and it could well have been a 17-7 game at the end of one and a very different outcome. Instead, poor tackling and poor discipline on the late hit led to a 308-yard quarter.
• Despite all of that, the Pack could have come back if they turned red zone opportunities into touchdowns. There was a turnover on downs in the red zone, two short field goals, and a missed two-point conversion. By my math that's 16 points left on the field in a game we lost by 11.

Brissett and the handful of seniors on this very young NC State team will be missed, but thankfully they have not donned the red and white for the last time. Here's to hoping they go out in style with a win in the TBD Whatever the Heck Bowl, presented by Whatsit Now. Thanks to the seniors, and, as always, go to hell Carolina.

NC State steamrolled at home by UNC, 45-34

NC State was dead on arrival Saturday, giving up 35 first-quarter points to a focused North Carolina offense. The Wolfpack played better over the next couple of quarters, but that wasn't exactly saying much. Did provide a bit of false hope, though. UNC used its 35-point first quarter to cruise to a 45-34 victory.

The Tar Heels took control with their running game, led by Elijah Hood, who finished with 220 yards, and T.J. Logan, who went for 100 on only six carries. Hood did the tough work, while Logan provided the early back-breakers, scoring twice on long runs.

NC State needed to play a pretty damn good game in this one to pull out a win, and there were swing plays in the first half--it's just that they all went UNC's way. Jacoby Brissett missed a wide open Cole Cook for a big gain; Riley Nicholson hit Marquise Williams just a split second out of bounds, turning a punting situation into a first down for UNC. The Tar Heels hit on a long TD pass the play after Nicholson's penalty.

Brissett didn't have his best performance for UNC, and it hurt. There was the aforementioned miss to Cook, but also some misses that should have been routine, like a check-down (albeit under pressure) to Nyheim Hines that could have been a big gainer.

The Wolfpack simply made too many mistakes, and didn't take advantage enough of what Carolina gave it. The Tar Heels turned the ball over a couple of times in prime scoring position, but State took next to little from those gifts. Those exchanges made a significant difference in the game; UNC took almost no time to convert Brissett's tip interception into seven. NC State needed to be every bit as opportunistic and instead settled for a couple field goals in a couple prime opportunities.

State wasn't opportunistic, State made the big mistakes early, and State couldn't match Carolina's explosive plays. The result was UNC essentially massaging away a victory for 45 minutes. That is a pretty huge bummer, but so it goes. We'll see you at the bowl game.

But ultimately this gets back to Carolina's ground game, which set an early tone and gave the Tar Heels a big lead before NC State could recover. Elijah Hood was both explosive and tough between the tackles, while T.J. Logan made a couple huge plays happen with his elite speed.

We knew this about UNC coming in: great depth at receiver; a senior quarterback; fantastic talent at running back. The Heels' play-action movement has been tremendous all season, and NC State couldn't find an answer to it. That's disappointing, but it's not surprising.

That's not an indictment of NC State coaching; it's just admitting reality. Sometimes the other guy holds all the cards. We don't have to like it, but sometimes that's just how it works out.

Growing list of coastal municipalities oppose offshore drilling

Swansboro joins in the dissenting opinion:

Commissioners voted 3-1 at the board’s Tuesday night meeting to adopt a resolution opposing offshore oil and gas development and drilling and related seismic blasting activities off the North Carolina coast.

Commissioner Jim Allen said he wasn’t comfortable taking a stand against an issue that state leaders are working on with the federal government. Gov. Pat McCrory serves as chairman of the Outer Continental Shelf Governors Coalition. “I don’t think we need to be putting up roadblocks in their way,” Allen said.

If that pro-drilling group were composed entirely of government officials, there *might* be a sliver of credibility in Jim Allen's concern. But those Governors have allowed themselves to become nothing more than oil & gas industry mouthpieces:

North Carolina Tar Heels vs. NC State Wolfpack: How to watch, start time, TV channel, odds, streaming, and more

All right, everybody, one more time, and with feeling. NC State and North Carolina wrap up their respective regular seasons on Saturday afternoon in a game that has the potential to be quite a lot of fun, but is also (as usual) terrifying. I really have no idea what to expect after what we saw in Chapel Hill a year ago.

We'll have to hope that Bad Marquise shows up, or perhaps that NC State can knock the bad into Marquise again. That seems much less likely this year, but again, I rule nothing out when it comes to this matchup. Everything is possible across the good/bad/awful spectrum.

For once, a contest between these two teams hasn't been stuck at noon, which means no ACC Network hooray! The game will air on ESPN2 or ABC depending on where you're located. For folks in North Carolina and the rest of the southeast--and most of the ACC footprint, actually--this game will be on ABC. Here's the coverage map for Saturday.

College football Week 13: TV schedule, kickoff times

Rivalry week gets cookin' in earnest Saturday, and it could be a fantastic afternoon. In any event, we know that salt levels will be high and the schadenfreude will be everywhere. That's what it's all about right there.

Thanks to TCU's win over Baylor on Friday, Bedlam on Saturday night is effectively the Big 12 title game--either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State will clinch the league title (no ties this year!) by winning. Oklahoma probably would solidify a position in the playoffs with a victory.

The early slate is is highlighted by Ohio State-Michigan, and, of course, Syracuse-Boston College. I know everybody's hyped up about that one. Georgia Tech's train wreck season ends against UGA, Virginia Tech will try to get Frank Beamer one more win over UVA, and Louisville's got Kentucky.

The mid-afternoon schedule isn't lookin' so great, which I suppose is good since we will all be occupied with State-UNC.
