Maybe not, but they’re good. Antwaun Powell-Ryland is a beast, and VT is tied 4th overall for sacks. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/individual/36 https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/466 Rank Player Team Year Position Games Solo Sacks Assisted Sacks Sack...

The story on offense: Neither the run game nor the pass game were working for us. Our success rate was 38%, and theirs was 48%. They were reliably moving the ball Our red zone performance was way down as well. We were low on explosive plays, and we weren't grinding it out either. So, only 13...

They did take a field goal and also a punt, which aren't conservative. I think that was their offense, and those were the reads that worked. I think we do have a lot of H-back plays with multiple tight ends, and Jumbo sets, but we're injured there. Playing Harpring and Harrison Moore is going...

I’m aware of that “run more to win” causality issue. That’s why I focused more on a minimal amount of rushing yardage. We could have passed 40 times against Georgia State because our run game worked well enough for them to respect it. I don’t see it when I watch our pass game. I could look at...

Bennett was one of the coaches that would recruit talented players he liked that fit his system and focus on developing them over time. The game feels more like the Lakers and free agency now.

Looking back, the Notre Dame game Saturday kind of reminds me of the LSU Peach Bowl, our even more, the Iowa Orange Bowl game.

I think the Falcons might win the division, and get creamed in the first round.

Last year we were ranked #77 in DFEI. This year, we're #79. I did go back and look just now. Last year, our pass defense was bottom quarter of the P5 or worse (about 78th), and one of the worst in FBS against the run (like, #128). This year, our run defense is about #23, but our pass defense is...

I posted this in another thread: I don’t know if our offense is designed around the run, but… Against FSU we threw 16 passes for 146 yards and won. We ran for 36 rushes for 190 yards. Win Ga State: 29 passes for 274 yards, 32 rushes for 274 yards. Win Syracuse: 40 passes for 266 yards, 25...

I brought up the "blue chip ratio" yesterday. Notre Dame has 67% of their roster at 4* or 5* players. We have 13 players rated at 4* (13/18 -> 15%). We're gonna have to develop our guys. I don't think Saban cared what 247 said about his guys, and I don't think a good coach cares much about...

Out of all the games we played, I feel like we got outcoached at Syracuse. This may be our chance to outcoach someone else.

Here's our offense against their defense. Good news (🤞 )-> They ain't that good at stopping the run. We'll have to coach well (no more 12 men in the huddle)...

ESPN and the bookmakers like VT over us. The game is AT Lane Stadium, in Blacksburg. They're 4-3 for the season (ESPN). They lost to a surprisingly good Vandy team. They should have beaten Miami, except for a really bad call on a hail-mary pass. Their wins are over 4 weak teams (Marshall...

He was held out due to an injury. Taj Butler started in his place. Rodney Shelley (Nickel) was also out. Neither played a snap Participation report and final stats here https://ramblinwreck.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/notre-dame-10-19-final-book.pdf

One thing I take from the in-game chat (and there is very little I take from it) is that I watch a different game than a lot of our fans. I wasn’t good enough to play in college, but playing in high school changed what I look for and look at. For one thing, experience trying to block players...

There is a habit in this board of rationalizing losses. Notre Dame is the #1 defense in opponent adjusted FEI. They played like they were on a mission. Their Safety Xavier Watts won the Nagurski trophy for best defensive player last season. He’s playing better this year. Pyron had an ESPN QBR...

More to the point, one of the top five defenses, if not the number one defense

Yeah, they win out and they’re probably in
