A Back is going to be a huge logjam next year with tons of talent. We only lose Snoddy, and get back Cottrell, MLD, Green, plus whoever we sign this year. On the other hand, you lose Byerly and JT is a Senior. Where do you think Jordan sees playing time the most likely? He gains nothing by...

Maybe the funniest thing I've ever read on a college football board is the ND fans thinking they can get a walk on from the general student population that can simulate the offense that CPJ is bringing to South Bend. I feel much better about the game now knowing how they are preparing.

I keep telling myself it's a different year. But when I close my eyes, I still see Days and Laskey behind that wonderful OL gashing uga, FSU, and MS State. I then ask myself, "Why Not This Year, Too?" Most of the OL is back, and while Devine is no Mason, he's brings a lot (literally) to the...

CPJ said every freshman looked brain dead for the first few plays. Hopefully that's over with, but I expect a repeat once they hit South Bend. Offensively, I want to see us work on two things to prepare for what's coming. I want Skov to have 20 carries. Miss St and uga showed us what a B...

If we can play with ND, Clemson, and FSU then we shouldn't be intimidated by anything the dwags can throw at us at year end.

Always enjoy your analysis, Boomer. One thing I might add concerning running backs is that we essentially had all freshmen running the ball. Skov has played for a lot of years, but had less than 25 carries in his career I think. Probably the same could be said about Lynch and Willis. Only...

I watched several games yesterday and saw some defenses dominate the other team. I told my wife that no matter how good they look against a traditional offense, our offense might just crush them. There's little to no translation. Unless we brainfart, I think we will put up lots of yds and...

The saying years ago about how to stop the Wishbone (or TO) was to wait until they dropped the ball and then pick it, meaning there was a high risk for fumbling. Fortunately that has not been a huge problem for us since CPJ has been here. It seems to me that 1) if you are a fumbler, he doesn't...

367 days ago, the optimist were predicting 8-4 if everything broke our way. After all, CPJ was on the hot seat. Everyone not named Johnson hated the Triple Option. Our Spring Game attendance was a national laughing stock. Around a dozen players from the spring were no longer on the team...

Listen! And understand! That Terminator Option is out there. It can't be bargained with! It can't be reasoned with! It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead! I've told my football crazy wife at many football games that I have never...

I have faith that Ted Roof will somehow manage to field capable linebackers even if he has to suit up.

If CPJ isn't trolling, then I think we can now say that the 2015 class was better than the 2007 class which had been our benchmark. That many freshmen coming in and going onto the 2 deep would have scared me sh**less a few years back. Now, I'd like to think that we recruited for our needs, and...

Hell, by 2017 we're not going to be happy with 10 win seasons.

You're right, Boomer, except it has been between the ears for 40+ years. That's when it started: 71, 76, 78 were all games with ridiculous endings that went uga's way. After that the field seemed to slope their way. We had to be two or three TD's better than them to win. We were also what I...

FSU will be undefeated when they come to ATL in October. They will be bragging about how they did addition thru subtraction by getting rid of Winston and they are now a much more complete team. Maybe even ranked #1. Their toughest game to that point will be Louisville in Tallahassee the week...

I gotta call BS on this. It is not just a Tech thing. A thousand movies have been made with variations on this plot. Hoosiers, The Natural, Sea Biscuit, Rudy, Biscuit Eater, Babe. Also, look no farther than the Bible. The stories of David, Moses, Joseph. All were lightly regarded but...

Lots of good posts, but one thing hasn't been mentioned. Coaching. Late last year we saw what our offensive coaching staff is capable of when they got the pieces in places. I feel like up until last year, we had been running somewhat of a limited TO for most of Johnson's tenure. We had a...

I actually thought I was quite complimentary to the entire defense, the OL, the QB, and was saying I expect the A Backs and WR's to get the hang of the TO as practice proceeds. I was however pointing out that optimism from football coaches in August is rarer than leprechaun farts. Of course...

Good to see so many of the people on this board are already in mid-season pessimism form. But then, lots of practice will get you there. Listening to 50+ years of preseason coach speak will make it lose its effectiveness. I have never, never heard an optimistic coach in August. Even Bowden...

If you are a current football player, do not read past line below: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Alright, Johnson, I've heard enough bellyaching. "We can't block" "The OL sucks" "Nobody can get open" What you really mean is that Roof's guys are kicking...
