Maybe irritated isn't the right word. More like determined, emphatic. And yes, gtg, I think you got the quote right. I couldn't remember exactly how he expressed it.

At the very end of the call-in show, when Brandon was asking keys to the game, PJ said something close to "We're going to run the ball. Run the ball. I don't care who you tell, we are going to run the ball." He said it emphatically and sounded irritated. Ordinarily he avoids any clarity when...

I am not down on Butker. I just know that a quality place kicker can win some games for you. And I suspect place kicking is kinda like putting; a lot of it is mental. When you approach it with relaxed confidence, chances are you make it. If he gets some chances and puts 'em through, that...

We need for Harrison to get some chances in the next couple of games and make them. We need him confident. Any game could come down to a hit or miss by him. In fact, if he hits both of his Saturday and PJ decides to try him on 4th and 16 and he hits, that's nine points. We lost by 8.

The whole game was so FUBAR that it's hard to remember all the crap that went wrong. But you're right -- our guys had their feet go out from under them with no contact several times. Can't recall any instance of that happening to ND.

Sidewalk, now that I think about it, I believe you are right. Still, he seems to prefer going to the receiver on the right.

I agree with cheese's point about the right side. JT is always going to see the receiver who lines up on the right side first. He is able to keep him in view as he drops back. The receiver he has the most confidence in should line up at the right end spot.

Too many steps here for all of this to happen. Still, each step could happen. We go into Durham on fire with intensity and focus. Upperclassmen have had a taste of success on a big scale and refuse to drift lower. With ND and last year's loss to Duke on our minds, we win big. Defense...

Byerly having surgery. Out for year. from call in show.

p J "I told the guys we haven't even come close to playing our best game. Not close"

Cheese, I think he said Jeune and Stewart would start but Messick would see more playing time than usual.

It follows a pretty intuitive pattern, or so it seems to me. At the end of last year you see our team running over several big time defenses. You return the quarterback and four of five linemen. You wonder about the new backs, but in the two cupcakes, they look fine. Then suddenly you see a...

Searcy was my favorite of the new backs, and the one I thought has the most big play potential. But I have to say Lynch as impressed me running the ball, not just his blocking. In the few carries I've seen he has good speed, is elusive, and looks strong. I think he'll break a few in time.

Declinometer, he didn't exactly emphasize it, but he did say more than once that he and the others coaches didn't prepare the team well and need to do better.

A few notes for those who can't listen Triple the missed assignments we've ever had.... Our guys got rattled.... We got 'em to line up the way we wanted, but we didn't play (talking about their defense and our offense, indicating it wasn't their scheme that was the problem).... Burden...

Is there a way to double like a post? What GTpdm says below is me exactly. After a loss such as Saturday's, watching it live it appears that we have returned to the days where we were badly out-athleted and never really had a chance. After Boomer's analysis and after listening to Paul on the...

One thing Paul said at the post game press conference stood out. He said something close to "when you point out mistakes in a game you won by 50 points, they don't half pay attention. But after today, I should have their full attention." I'm guessing that has a lot to do with perimeter blocking.

I think Ted Roof is doing a good job of calling defense. He is varying when he sends extra rushers, who is in coverage, and who rushes when we do send them. They can't anticipate what we are going to do, and that makes the blitzes more disruptive and not picked up as often. The key to whether...

Glenn nailed it. In a sport where the national champion is still partially decided on perception, we simply have to have the big media push. I agree that it feels unnatural and there is something satisfying about being underated and trying to prove them wrong. But this media attention has to...

The one which showed up in my email a few minutes ago has a highly complimentary article about Paul Johnson and the program.
