What does GT’s win over UNC mean in light of the crushing loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon? I’ve been wrestling with that question for 48 hours. Joey and I both wrote last week about the UNC win demonstrating proof of concept for Collins and his staff. I still think that is true, but I worry that the kind of consistency necessary to compete in the ACC will continue to elude this staff.
