The Pitt and Duke games where we got RPO’ed to death. The main reason why our passing defense never got tested was that the run defense was weak (UNC excepted for some odd reason)

I thought Syracuse would have success passing the ball, but not as much as they did. Part of that is that I thought we’d be more successful on offense. Time of possession is usually an edge for us, but it wasn’t today. Our offensive and defensive coaches have a lot to learn from today. We...

<knock wood> in the Georgia State game, Luginbill gushed about how the RBs held the ball and how well coached all of them were. Key said “you need a deep RB room because they get banged up”. He also likes to rotate backs to keep them fresh and healthy. It sounds like he’ll get a shot when he’s...

The stats guy (Connelly) has been pretty transparent that there are a bunch of games that are going to script, and there are a bunch of games that the predictions are wildly wrong on. As a fan, he’s loving it. Aside from a Cooley model and a few others, the models and to some degree the polls...

We blitzed a couple of times. We got burned at least once.

I’m wary of saying “fans are saying…”, but I’ve seen a lot out of FSU that players were tuning out in the second half of BC.

Norvell is the anti-Dabo this season. He went heavy to the portal, and so far it’s not panning out. The receivers, QB, and DL especially. I didn’t watch the second half of the BC game, but there’s a lot of criticism of the effort. If you come back 0-1, as a top 10 team upset by an unranked...

This is NFL and paywalled, but it’s a story about Kirk Cousins using computation notebooks for his notes. Apparently, Kyle Shanahan does it too https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5745041/2024/09/05/kirk-cousins-falcons-note-taking/?source=user_shared_article Inside the big notebooks and tiny...

The portal, so far, isn’t producing great results for FSU

If Ga State can find holes in our coverage, so can Syracuse. We have a lot to clean up before Saturday. I think we have good staff and players, but it’ll be tough. Syracuse’s coach Fran Brown (who used to be at UGA) was complimentary of a lot of our players and our staff.

There were a couple of plays where we missed a tackle or didn’t set the edge, and they turned into big plays. I think that was even true on the first drive. We tried to blitz a few times against GA State—no luck there.

Probably here

If you have 90 seconds to score, I agree. Otherwise, go with what moves the ball. Here’s an example: For FSU, they couldn’t complete a phone call on Monday, much less a 10 yard pass. Maybe they couldn’t run the ball either, but we’ll never know because they never tried. Their game could have...
