Biggest improvements over the course of the season?

[Swayin]

What are the biggest differences you have seen in this team since the ECU game? Obviously the list is long, but what what are your key areas of improvement since then?

I'll go with:

• Mental errors: much, much fewer penalties over the last month especially.
  
• Z White emerging as the offense's focus
  
• Offensive line and the coaching staff finding a more consistent formula for ground-game success
  
• Stability with Brown at QB
  
• Mental toughness: Hugely impressed with this team's effort and focus when we were down 14-0

I would agree with your post. The penalties have gotten much better. Watching last night, I noticed that the running backs were once again, running into the backs of the linemen. White started pausing and looking to see what was open, and then cutting to the outsides. Once he started, I notice the others started following suit, and the production got much better. 
I have been very encouraged over the last few weeks. The team has never quit this year, which is quite different from last year. The defense and special teams are drastically different in effort and execution. The offense has not improved as much, but there has been improvement. My hat is off to Coach Beamer and his staff for what they have accomplished. To take the steaming pile of crap that was the 2-8 Carolina team of last year, and turn them around and become bowl eligible with a game to go is remarkable. Carolina should have won the Missouri and Kentucky games, but the argument could be made that we should have lost some others, so I guess that’s a wash. However, to have to deal with the negativity, bad habits, lack of discipline, and quite frankly, lack of talent and turn this into a non-losing season, is nothing short of miraculous. If Coach Beamer can use this momentum and make positive strides in recruiting, we have much to look forward to.
