Looking back at the past several seasons, the opposition has never scored more than 28 points in the second half and never more than 21 points in the 3rd or fourth quarters. So I suggest that a comfortable lead would be 29 points at the start of the half and 22 points at the start of the 4th...

I don't understand statements like that. He won an ACC Championship, and then sacked his DC because he wasn't happy with the defense. When he decided that the Groh-fence wasn't going to work, he sacked Groh midseason rather than wait. He hired a dedicated special teams coach after initially...

This is a good point. If opponents are having to double team Gotsis to neutralize him, then he's doing his job. I didn't look for that in the game, so I don't know if he is in fact being double teamed or not,

The Miami box score has Louiville's stats. Miami was: 1-13 on 3rd down 244 yd total offense 17 of 29 in passing 2.6 yards per rush 1 fumble 2 interceptions

Now I'm confused. What do you call the play where the BB is the pitchman? There was at least one of those run where Laskey took the pitch. Nesbit/Dwyer ran that play all the time.

You have already alluded to this, but just to point it for those who may have missed it, there is not is universal numbering system for numbering the defensive techniques. For example, some system don't use 2i and 4i. Those alignments still exist, obviously, but they have different numbers...

Wouldn't a counter option or speed option have an unblocked defender outside the OT? It may be a question of terminology like AE87 suggests. I suspect that there is only one specific play that CPJ calls the triple option. That would make sense since calling every play with three options the...

I'm guessing it'll be a rocket toss for modest yardage.

Watching the PIT-NYG preseaon game and saw a familiar face. Brad Allen is now an NFL official. Moreover, he is also a referee. So not only will he be a rookie official, he will also be a rookie referee. As you might expect, that isn't common and apparently the last time that happened was in...

Some of these teams are using up tempo offense to try to exploit personnel mismatches or achieve a schematic advantage by lining up in a different formation and not letting the other team have enough time to adjust. For GT, these don't apply. GT doesn't have a talent advantage, so there is no...

I agree to an extent. However, It seems that Developing depth is a harder task than you would think it would be. Guys get hurt, transfer out, move to another position, graduate or goto the NFL after either 3, 4, or 5 years, or just don't pan out. consequently it's a never ending juggling act...

In the first video, which you think is a called dive, why isn't the DT blocked? Do you think CPJ was just trying to see how the DT would react? It seems odd to me that he would call a dive and not block the DT.

Be aware that there are different numbering schemes. For example, in some schemes a 1-tech is over the shoulder of the center and the inside shoulder of the guard is a 2i-tech.

I disagree with you about #44(midline) being a Midline Lead Option. There are no unblocked defenders. This looks like a called QB keep. Normally, we see this with the BB as the lead blocker. However, in this video the backside AB is the lead blocker. I agree with you about #45 (Byerly...

I agree with the comment about needing multirole players on defense. You need a couple of defenders that are strong enough to play run defense, yet fast enough to play coverage. Tough to find perhaps (recruit TE types?), but I think that is where you have to go.

The sub-50% team pass completion percentage is not new. 2004-2007 were all sub-50% team pass completion years. 2000-2001 were 60%+, and 2002-2003 were in the low-to-mid 50%. I know CPJ likes to emphasize pass efficiency over pass completion percentage, but I think that once the completion...

The only way that is going to happen is for the NCAA is to get serious about the student in student-athlete and adopt rules to that negatively impact the NFL. A few examples: 1. Prohibit student-athletes from engaging in practices, drills, scrimmages, film review, and the like while in the...

As best as I can tell from the article it is because "Paul Johnson, who comes off to many non-Tech fans as some amalgam of booger-eating Timmy Lupus and stats-wonk Alfred Ogilvie and cannot win bowls or games against UGA, represents ACC football to Georgia high school coaches and players." I...

Taking that line of reasoning a bit further, at some point you jettison scheme not because it is flawed, but because you can not recruit players that are sufficiently skilled at executing it. GT is nowhere near that point yet on offense. Considering that the triple option is considered to not...

I noticed that the depth chart for the uga game has different weights listed than the ones on the ramblinwreck.com roster. I did a comparison of some of the defensive linemen: Stargel is 251 lb on the uga game depth chart, up from 242 on the roster. Chungong is at 263 on the depth chart, up...
