Having an eye for talent is way more important than recruiting stars, or stars ratings if you will. Character, intelligence and work ethic matters more than you may think.
Strength is important but over-rated in a way. Being really strong will not make you great athlete. However, great...
We need to play the next two games with an "all hands on deck" approach. Winning is the goal, plain and simple. If that means a frosh needs to contribute meaningful snaps, then he should. The only caveat would be preserving a RS if a kid has already played a game or two and the gap between he...
If Taquon was judged to be the starter by CPJ, then he handled the QB the way it needed to be handled last night. What else would CPJ do, rotate QBs on a night where temperatures were in the thirties? Call it selective icing of our own QBs. Whoever, was in the game and getting into a lather...
First of all, let me recognize this thread as the most relevant and simultaneously important one of the year, for this touches on the most fundamental aspects of our traditions and fight song. Without "whiskey clear" we are nothing. Without us, "whiskey clear" is but an empty, yet clever phrase...
We have given up a ton of yards due to missed tackles by taking bad angles, failing to turn players back into pursuit, or use the sideline. How many plays did multiple tacklers over-run only to watch them streak past for huge YACs? That stuff isn't scheme related, as much as experience related...
I beg to differ. Swillings pick my have been under thrown a bit, but his coverage was really good regardless and he WON a 50/50 ball. That counts in my mind. This was no "gimme". Additionally, Frenchy anticipated the throw on his pick, as he stepped in front and pulled it away. It was not tipped...
When the situation presented itself on 4th down, I was sitting on my couch begging him to go for it. To me, that was the right call. The only thing I would add is that we should have tried to draw them off first. I believe we had a TO left. They were really itching to jump and we wouldn't have...
Let's give props to the kids because when games play out like this, turnovers or penalties can crush otherwise successful drives. By not scoring on run-outs, you have to run a ton of plays to get to pay dirt without mistakes. We were able to do just that. Some defenses scheme against option...
When reviewing the VT replay a second time and truly appreciating how much quality physical blocking our ABs were doing, it made me realize how important getting to the MIKE is for our offense. CPJ talks constantly about no penalties and no fumbles as being the barometers for our success on...
That you saw a CFB team hang 49 points on an opponent without having a single play go over 16 yards? I wouldn't know where to start to research something like that. However, I am going to go out on a limb and say I have never seen it. Does it scream amazing execution?
I hope Lucas is ready for next year. Players don't always have 100% after just 12 months. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I am looking forward to the QB battle, but first, let's finish this year strong.
Maybe TM doesn't run midline very well. We haven't really seen it with him taking snaps. I'm pretty sure CPJ was waiting for the right time to pull that card (midline) out once they caught on to the QB sweep. We need to run triple, just like we need to run midline. When either is missing we are...
Good Question. The answer is, a lot. There were some called dives and QB follows mixed in for sure. However, there were (I didn't count, but am going to guess ten) several TRUE midline options called where the DT was left unblocked an Tobias was reading him. The genius of it was, because of how...
They did try to jump the gaps some. We were just blocking at the point of attack and not releasing past. One thing I liked about this is it didn't give their DL a chance to hold our OLs as they tried to run past. We switched up some stuff on the interior at times too. They didn't know who was...
