  1. Help with above the line chart

    I saw from Ken that there are three changes. I can see that Biggers is one, but the story is blocked after that. The RR site has the chart, but it won't open for me. UNC's will and ours from last week will, but not the current one. Will someone else give it a try?
  2. Annual reminder about today's college football

    Two weeks ago Florida State took Notre Dame to overtime. Last night they lost to Jacksonville State. Both games were played in Tallahassee. Every year we see similar things. If you don't play with intensity and focus, you can lose to anyone.
  3. Thanks to Cuse Jacket!...

    ... for trying to keep us sane this week. That's all.
  4. Sims on game day vs practice

    Yesterday morning I read a pregame writeup which said something about how Sims is making all kinds of throws he couldn't make last year. Quotes from his teammates all August would lead you to believe he was looking really good. Had he been missing receivers all August like he did last night I...
  5. Idea for ESPN to promote the big game

    It's the Battle for the Bottom. Tune in and watch the drama unfold as we determine which is really the worst team in the ACC and which is merely a pretender. This game has huge implications for the final season rankings. Bottom 10 rankings, that is. I'm sure when ESPN baited their hook...
  6. How does Army do this?

    I was reading an article this morning about how Army and BYU are sweating a bowl bid because they have no conference tie-in. The article mentioned that in September Army took Oklahoma to overtime. I haven't seen the Sooners in some time, but from what I can tell, they are only about a half...
  7. Up and coming receivers

    gtg391z makes the very good point in the Post Game thread that having a passing quarterback is not the only ingredient -- we need some receivers with the speed and moves to beat man to man coverage. Do we have any young talent that might fit that description? Or any hotshot recruits we are...
  8. A backs next year

    Cottrell is the only one returning who ever carries the ball. Any ideas on which ones are likely to play next year?
  9. Offensive line situation after Bowling Green

    The guys we lined up yesterday looked awful smallish and young. What are the chances we will have the linemen we expected to be the starters all back by Louisville?
  10. Let's speculate on starters if we get Woody

    Adams backed by Glanton in the middle. Flanked by St Amour and Branch. Swilling and Mitchell are out there. Who else? One linebacker and one safety? Two true linebackers? Who would they likely be?
  11. Two big problems going forward

    Not that there aren't more. 1) Lack of a pass rush. For the umpteenth year in a row, we have way below the norm of sack and hurries. I believe our inability to stop teams from scoring with little time left is a symptom, not the disease. I think if a team decided mid game to start throwing...
  12. We might know what kind of game we will have early

    As soon as we see Georgia with the ball. How well will we handle their run game? From what I've seen --- which isn't much -- in almost every game their line has dominated. With a nice hole, their excellent backs have poured through at full speed and got many yards after contact. We have had a...
  13. What can we learn from Army vs Navy?

    When watching this game, I couldn't help but think of the often discussed topic on the boards of what is the impact of lots of preparation time by our opponents? No defense could be as thoroughly familiar with the TO as these two teams. They have whole seasons of preparation time. It seems...
  14. Paul Johnson's wisdom this year

    I've been thinking back to some of the stuff coach said during the course of the year. At the times he made these observations I wasn't sure about them, but looking back, he pretty much knew what he was talking about. Preseason, for those of us who know his ways, there were plenty of...
  15. Georgia coverage griping

    I guess by now I should expect no different, but still... I read the coverage of the game by the Georgia reporters in the AJC and a few others. They have a bevy of reporters, not just a beat reporter like we get. The gist of all the reports was that Georgia under performed. I didn't see...
  16. The game looked nothing like I expected

    Having seen Michel and Chubb before, I was not afraid of them. I had read their O line was not up to par. We have been a decent, if not good, run stopping team. I guessed that we could keep their run game in check and stopping them would mostly depend on whether we could pressure Eason. I...
  17. Two things I really don't want to see

    1) A fluke play or call. No Georgia player running out of a pile with the ball. No phantom interference call, etc. 2) Paul and Ted start thinking about the clock until the game is absolutely decided. If we have a lead in the second half, I want to see us keep doing what we were doing...
  18. From the radio show

    Several calls about the defense. PJs answers: Didn't line up right. Lots of problems with our eyes. If you are supposed to cover the right side wide receiver, you must do that and not be looking in at the running back. Fundamentals... If we are going to blitz, we need to commit to bringing...
  19. Thoughts on how we might be able to get a win Saturday

    Two factors. Neither of these is a huge stretch either. 1) Offense must play well, but also, offense must play smart. Many of the killer turnovers have been caused by someone on the line failing to block his assignment. Someone then comes in unblocked and catches the back at a time when he...
  20. Theories on run defense and red zone defense

    One thing I had thought would happen in the Duke game was that we could be trading our touchdowns for their field goals. Except for Georgia Southern, we had played the run pretty well. We also had been good at stopping teams once they got to the 20. At Duke, we didn't stop the run and not...
