With just a little more help from quarterback Patrick Pinkney and the rest of the offense, the Pirates should be able to survive this game, win the next two, finish 8-4 overall and get back to the league championship game.

Maryland, Virginia and N.C. State are all but mathematically eliminated, leaving a group of four (UNC, Duke, Wake and FSU) for the final four spots.
