To be honest, I had one of these segments planned for last game as well, but after I reviewed the replay and started to write, I decided I wasn't going to publish something that derogatory towards the players in question. It was a really bad game and I decided to leave it as that. Fortunately...

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I appreciate it.

It was Hanson who "chopped" the big guy. When I saw it for the first time I thought it was illegal and we were lucky not to be called. Then I rewound it and looked again. The center was trying to get by to the second level. There was contact, but no engagement from our guy. Their DT may have put...

You are a wise man.

I had already watched the replay of the Louisville game once and wanted to watch it again. However, this time I wanted a special task to keep it interesting. I don't have a DVR any more, so watching every play over and over isn't very time efficient. I decided to pick a single player on each...

I'm pretty sure, after every loss since I have participated in gtswarm there have been calls for the coach's firing. It just seems to be the knee jerk response of choice to express frustration. There will come a day when CPJ is no longer at the helm of GT football. Personally, I am in no hurry...

Did anybody notice that on our final play, on the untimed down, that USF had 12 men on the field to stop us? Not that it matters in the outcome of the game. No flag. A fitting end to a poorly officiated game from my vantage point. Call me nuts, but I still want those 7 points, even if we cannot...

If we can sustain drives with the run game, tipping TOP in our direction in a big way, then the ONLY factor that could outweigh it would be turnovers. In my mind TO's effect on game outcome kind of goes without saying. We all know, if that is heavily in any team's favor, the outcome is almost...

I think we only had a single toss sweep last weekend. We'll lead with it today.

In theory, I really like what I THINK our defense will be, especially if what you say comes to fruition. The odd front and aggressive mindset can allow for a lot of creativity. The problem is, this far, we really don't know what stuff we are going to try and use. Last weekend we didn't see much...

While I do agree our passing game yesterday was a clown show at times, don't get too discouraged. For one thing, in my best recollection, we didn't throw off of play action. Pretty much every attempt was a straight drop. Perhaps it was good for us to practice those game situations where...

Additionally, in terms of personnel, we are not a large or super physical defense, but rather, in my estimation, fairly athletic. So, a scheme like this makes sense, where we can fly around, apply pressure, and hopefully confuse opponents somewhat. You have to use what you have got in a way that...

Haha. I just decided to take a break during the off season. No worries.

There was one pass play where there was a LB blitz and a DL stunt at the same time. We didn't see that much in recent seasons. Lot's of shifting too. Additionally, there appears to be a premium put on getting upfield fast by the front 7 and jumping underneath routes, getting matched up asap. The...

8:00pm and a "blue-out" with 1990 natty uniforms. Mutts wear white.

It's not like they needed a FG to win and they just needed to improve their position with a first down. They needed to score a TD for sure. What guarantee did he have with their offense to finish even if they did run for a first down? I don't think time was even a factor in his brain, but...

If CFB were offense and defense only, we would be a top 15 or so team IMHO. Unfortunately, STs is a third phase of the game that effects more outcomes than some would like to think. We are good enough that no win would surprise me. We are also bad enough on STs that no loss would surprise me...

It's funny. I think Cottrell is the fastest of the ABs. Searcy is more slippery and just about as fast. Lynch is smart and instinctive. Green is the strongest. I enjoy them all but they are all different.

I was surprised we didn't run a bunch of midline last night. By now you all probably think I am blindly in love with that play. However, when I see really good DTs slanting so fast and blowing up stuff on the interior and us not able to cut them off, it screams for the midline. We have made hay...

No single game is a predictor for the rest of the year. The tendency of posters to extrapolate wildly after individual games both amuses and disappoints me at the same time. Clemson is the better team, for sure. After seeing the game last night, it is pretty obvious. They would be an 80% chance...
