The 5-3 Eagles have played up or down to the level of competition most of the year. They led No. 1 Clemson on the road 28-10 before losing 34-28, took North Carolina to the wall before falling 26-22, yet also needed a late rally to defeat Texas State (24-21), eked by 1-7 Syracuse last week and lost 40-14 at Virginia Tech.
