    We Are All

    concerned about the defense and rightfully so, however, I am growing concerned about the habit the offense has gotten into regarding failure to finish drives. We have been getting the minimum out of many drive situations, in terms of points, and compounding our problems by handing balls to the...

    As Bad as It Was

    on defense, this stat tells the story: Corey Griffin had as many tackles individually as our LBs had collectively (12). To make matters worse, the players in the secondary, collectively, more than tripled the number of tackles by the LBs. I know we were playing a 4-2-5, but c'mon.

    UNC Postgame

    I don't know if we had to score every time, but if we had just scored when we got to the red zone and held on to the ball, it would have been close. As bad as the D was, getting 10 points on 5 trips to the red zone on offense just won't win games.

    Huge huge huge game today

    PITT was the difference between 4-2 and 3-3. I agree this is a huge game, primarily because it is today. However, there is a good bit riding on the outcome. First and foremost (and trust me I haven't been worrying about this at all since the Miami game) if we want to have any chance, however...

    Notre Dame to Play 2 Johnson Tree Spread option teams back-to-back

    I would hire Monken in a nanosecond if we had a need to.

    First half Dook defense

    Part of the trouble covering TEs by our LBs is simply that we have slow LBs. However, I have also noticed in our drops that we just get our eyes in the wrong place and not recognize the need to cover quickly enough.

    Brad Stewart

    Both Stewart and Jeune have done a really good job of catching the football- not many drops at all this year. Give BS credit for winning a high percentage of contested balls. He is pretty good at that.

    UNC Predictions

    Many scores. If we score reliably, but slowly, we win. If we score fast without long drives mixed in, we lose. If the final winning score starts with a 3, we are winners. If it starts with a 4, our chances start going down. If it starts with a 5, I don't like our chances at all. I am going with...

    Paul Johnson gives hopeful injury updates on P.J. Davis, Dedrick Mills

    UNC did implode a little with horrible decisions and coaches penalties etc, however, UGA was able to establish the run in ways that they haven't against other teams. UNC front 7 got pushed around. UNC is explosive but they are not all that physical IMHO. They have a lot of speed out wide and...

    ACC & CFB playoffs....

    I would take a 3 loss conference champ any day over a second team from any conference with a single loss. No matter how wonderful we think we are, in terms of determining who the best teams and conferences are, we really don't know jack, neither does the press, who determined championship...

    GT is tied for 25th in Red Zone Defense

    As the field compresses, what is required of a defense plays more to our strengths. It is as simple as that. Our CBs are good tacklers and have short space quickness without great speed. Our LBs can tackle but they are slow too. With less ground to cover, slow defenses get better.

    4 and 1 against Duke

    It just says we don't throw as often. Pick your favorite passing team with a W-L record better than ours and then provide their number of attempts along with their yards. Then look at our number of attempts along with our yards.

    First half Dook defense

    If you look around the country, there are a lot of teams scoring in the 30's. It is painful to watch if you are rooting for your team, but it is very common.

    First half Dook defense

    DOOK did execute well in half 2. We also had to just keep handing them the ball. It shouldn't have mattered how well they executed after the Austin pick. It should have been over. At 35 -7, we could then trade scores with them forever.

    ACC & CFB playoffs....

    If you don't win your conference, don't even talk to me about deserving a spot in the playoffs. End of rant. I don't care what the records are.

    Duke Postgame

    I just finished watching the replay. No film study, just every play once and ffwd through commercials. This is my reaction: as bad as our defense was, we still should have won by 3 TDs. Holy cow. The meltdown in our own end has only been surpassed by Miami 2016. If we just hang on to the ball...

    GT (+11) @ UNC

    Clemson could have put up 60, but just decided not to. That was gracious. They could have just snapped their fingers and it was done, but decided what? It wasn't worth the effort? Give me a break. Clemson did two things that they wouldn't have, if it was close at the time, and that was punt...
