Most of the time we can weed through the kids that won’t make it (either through getting the kid to make the entrance scores or scaring them off/lack of interest b/c of workload, school profile, etc), but occasionally we get hit by this. One such example was Junior Gnonkonde... wanted him, but...

I'm torn. Was there in person, skimmed through it when editing it. It wasn't a horrible game to watch in person if you could stay dry /humblebrag. We got eaten alive on offense against a serious talent deficiency. I'd give high marks to the D on how they played with what they were given...

ask and ye shall receive...

Could be. Too many variables for sure. Hopefully we'll have dry fields for VT and georgia... Or maybe not if we get that whole "running the option on a wet field" thing figured out.

Could have. We also made them start really far down the field if we had to punt, which probably helped some as well.

Sooth: I remember Welsh from when he was at Navy. Heck of a guy and a great coach, and I agree, we need to "know our place" and appreciate what we do with our limitations. Great writeup overall. I did design work on Scott Stadium when they added the upper deck all around and the white...

That's fair. Not criticizing your assessment.

The thing I find crazy about that is that we don't put many linemen in the league, but when we do, they start and win the SuperBowl...

Tap the brakes on the hyperbole. That may be the case eventually, but if you took Alabama, Clemson, UGA, whoever and lined them up against the worst team in the NFL, the college team would get CRUSHED. They are grown men in the NFL that do football 24-7-365, and these are still kids...

Who let this guy in here??? LOL

There is something interesting about offense style. I've read elsewhere that NFL coaches are having issues with O Linemen coming in from spread teams and not knowing how to play. They are so used to quick schemes that they can't pass block. It's not a conference thing either. It's common...

We are fortunate to have him. I'm hearing rumors that changes are coming to level the playing field.

As an add on to this, I think our defense played REALLY WELL in the loss. Most teams that Clemson plays end up getting ground down and giving up a bunch of points late. We gave up: TD on blown/bad coverage after a fumble 2 TDs on long drives (I'd expect this against any decent team) 1 FG on a...

I guess I'm not a disappointed in the loss as some are. I haven't torn my clothes and committed hari-kari. My thoughts going in were that we needed to execute perfectly (we didn't), establish the middle run game (we didn't until late in the game, and then that QB got injured again), and have...

Not 100% is fine as long as it isn't a concussion. Playing a kid with a concussion nowadays is tantamount to signing your resignation papers as a coach. I don't think Dabo would be that dumb, but he has done stranger and riskier things before.

Man... I need to get ESPN Classic

This may be more a symptom of the Dive and Follow having being so successful. We are pile driving down the field with those two plays in 5-8 yard chunks, there may not be much need to go to the pitch play. We likely will against Clemson though, just for variety sake.

Maybe not the dumbest thing ever... John Smoltz went on the DL his rookie season for ironing a shirt without taking it off Agreed on your general point though. I have always thought that if one of the first couple guys trips when they get going, they could lose 1/2 of the team to some fluke...

Cold AAAAAND Wet you say...

low 225 bay-bee... where it's betterer... Best view in the house.
