Devine is just as physical as Mason at the point of attack IMHO, but when it comes to pulling and getting upfield, you are so right, big difference. I can't ever remember anybody getting up under Shaq in short yardage either. It sickens me that with all our experience that we can't get line...

This is a good post. I would like to add that I am looking for a rebound THIS season, not next. PITT would be a good start. We have had multiple years in a row of good defense here, all within recent memory, so it CAN happen. Gailey's teams with Tenuta as DC had enough stopping power to render...

I hear you 87 and I agree. I was just making a bit of a different point. With all things being equal, defenses will suffer when offense is getting nothing done. BTW, I think the coverse is a little less true. Offenses don't suffer as much when defense is bad. I have seen offenses get iced when...

Yeah. I don't know how much to read into that. Did our BBs play well last year? Yes. Did our OL block better last year? I say yes to that as well, based on what I have looked at. Personally, I do think there have been more absolute busts on plays this season. However, I would also agree that BBs...

Maybe that load option would have been a good call last Saturday? Get that BB out leading the play for an extra blocker.

When the offense struggles, it will usually pull the defense down with it, all things else being equal.

I tell you, little Marcus Wright could block you, and he was tiny in that AB spot. It can be done by smaller ABs.

I moved back last year and did the same thing. You won't regret it.

Well, I think we are the ONLY team who runs this offense, so.......... I guess the answer of your question can be found with GT results only. Pretty small sample size. There are some similar offenses, but nobody exactly like ours. NAVY might be closest.

What are you calling the TO? The triple option play, which represents maybe 15% of our offense?

I think we have seen it for years. Our ability to make people pay has varied over those years. Even in the Climpsum tape, if you watch, you will see them back off after we burned them deep on Lynch's TD catch. It happens. We just need to do it consistently.

I think this is as much not forcing commits as it is anything. We are allowing the pitch key to "slow play" us some. We need to force him to turn his shoulders by attacking the gap inside the pitch key, even if it only means a 3 yard gain.

I wasn't there tonight, but I can just imagine the look on Mrs. Dr. Jacket's face when that one slipped out. Priceless!

My favorite part of the show tonight was the question and ensuing commentary surrounding recruiting etc. In my mind, CPJ hit the nail squarely on the head. There is a lot of anguish on this board and others about academics and its effect on recruiting etc etc. I find it refreshing that coach is...

There is no reasonable argument against being good at both. In my mind it is a question of: where is your ceiling with the players you have and the scheme you are committed to in terms of potential at either phase. Our ceiling as a running team is leading the nation. Our ceiling as a passing...

The life of a nose guard.

Coach said a naughty word.

I agree Shamire can be, however getting low enough has been a challenge in short yardage. Shaq didn't have that problem.

Thanks for that Sidewalk.

I am sorry. I am supposed to be a moderator. That last post shouldn't be in a FB forum. Let's not get side-tracked.
