ESPN prime time, no other college football game on in that time slot, the nation will be watching.
A win gets you to 3-3 and likely 4-3 headed to Pitt in two weeks, not great, but manageable for Manny Diaz, he can sell some hope for the last five games and stabilize some of the noise with a win tonight.
A loss and all hell breaks for Blake James, Strawley and Manny Diaz who likely gets swept up in the Richt like implosion which take apart a season and entire recruiting class (as we saw last year). The noise for changes somewhere (hello Blake James) will be overwhelming. 4-13 in last 17 power 5 and 0-3 in the ACC. You’d be at the point where can you really continue with this athletic department leadership?
A lot is at stake tonight, it’s not your normal regular season game.
