  1. Duke postgame

    No, but he can picking up a ****ing yard, which is pretty damn awesome!
  2. Offensive Play-Calling

    To be fair, we move the ball pretty well when it’s not 3rd/4th and short. It’s amazing how that type of thing changes the perception of an offense - or maybe THAT IS what defines a good offense
  3. Offensive Play-Calling

    I’m certain that’s it, but my question is, “what changed?” We had a lot more looks late last year and brought basically everyone back. It’s just strange…injuries must be playing a part
  4. Duke postgame

    The few times we’ve had to turn King loose this year he has looked very good throwing down field. It’s almost like we are treating it a last resort to avoid turnovers. I feel like once we get up a couple scores sometimes it’s worth taking a shot to put a team away.
  5. Offensive Play-Calling

    I was just watching part of the UNC game from last year. We were throwing all over the place in that game. WR screens, TE wheels, medium crossing routes, short outs. I haven’t seen us doing that much this year. I agree with the posts where it seems like just a lot more WR screens and inside...
  6. Duke postgame

    Weird game. Felt like we were easily the better team, but again our offense stalls in short yardage situations. Run D did exactly what I expected. Those guys are a bright spot this year. Win next week and setup the ND matchup!
  7. Three wins away from Bowling

    I did watch it. I watched Alabama steamroll a team and then go super conservative in the second half until Georgia got back into the game. We can elevate and play with Georgia. We did it last year and we can do it again. Will we? Don’t know. But that team isn’t anything all that special this...
  8. Duke vs GT uniform thread

    The cool thing about GWG is we can wear it every time we play if we want to. That’s an identity that we should embrace
  9. Duke vs GT uniform thread

    Wear it every damn time
  10. Three wins away from Bowling

    Why would you say that? We matched up well with them last year and did for the first half in 2022, as well. They look to have regressed on offense without Bowers and McConkey. Their receivers aren't that impressive. And Etienne has underwhelmed so far. They're probably going to be a 3-loss team...
  11. Duke/GT 10/5 set for an 8pm kick on ACC Network

    So one thing to consider that I haven’t seen many mention - the games where we have looked bad were on the road in tough environments. And I know it was a “home game,” but Florida State was basically a road game as well when you consider the travel and the crowd breakdown. So one way to look at...
  12. Some optimistic tidbits for those losing hope

    I want to score 54 on them in the first half.
  13. Some optimistic tidbits for those losing hope

    Ok. So we are just going to ignore his final ten years. Got it. Can we do the same for O’Leary and Johnson? Or what about Gailey? He won 9 every year in 2006! I for one think Dodd was a remarkable coach. I’m more so just saying that it’s unrealistic to expect 8-9 every year.
  14. Some optimistic tidbits for those losing hope

    Heisman’s success is unquestionable. Dodd was also incredibly successful, but lots of seasons where he was 7-3. That’s the equivalent of 8-4 today. And he’s considered the gold standard given that Heisman operated in an era of men vs boys. Point stands that winning 8-9 consistently is really...
  15. Some optimistic tidbits for those losing hope

    9 wins is tough. Those aren’t incredible seasons but they are very good seasons. In my life we won 9 or more in 1985, 1990, 1998, 2000, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2014, and 2016. That’s 9 times in 40 years. We’ve only 8 or more there more times: 1991, 1999, 2001, 2011. So 12/40. I don’t think we can...
  16. Any chance we can make it to Charlotte?

    What’s frustrating is that had we not shot ourselves in the foot against Louisville I’d say we’d have a VERY good chance. But unfortunately here we are.
  17. Louisville Postgame

    I’ve watched it probably ten times. It was incredibly risky. There were far more things that could go wrong than right. Haynes was a yard or two past the LOS throwing a lateral off balance through traffic to a receiver. If that throw isn’t perfect it’s a fumble. Even if it doesn’t get tipped and...
  18. Any chance we can make it to Charlotte?

    We are going to beat the living crap out of Duke. Something like 42-24
  19. Some optimistic tidbits for those losing hope

    But it regressed from the end of last year for sure. To sum up the team. Our run D is remarkably improved. Our pass D is horrible. Our offense moves the ball in chunks well, but can’t pick up short yardage first downs. Our kicker regressed. In short, we are average. We have a relatively high...
  20. Louisville Postgame

    I don’t think it’s this simple. It depends on what coverage we are running and what we are expecting the other team to do. I think our zone defenders might be missing assignments. We gave up a big play Saturday when it looked like the corner in zone followed a receiver underneath over the middle...
