It saddens me that our culture places such a disdain on the subject of calculus and views it as so extra-ordinary. I know I am viewing this from the perspective of an actual calculus teacher, but darn man, it ain't that freaking hard. To me, all that shows is how off the tracks we are as a...

Well, it was more than 17, cause I left out some games in the middle where we started to turn things around.

Obviously was a great player for us - makes me wonder. What would be happening if he were still here this season? Asked in another way, what is the net effect of losing him? It is really hard to know. How much of a difference can one guy make? Apparently quite a bit, based on the difference in...

I think you answered your own question. It really cannot be a "read" play where the pass happens off a "run" call in the huddle. Half our OL is shooting out to get to the next level. That is a flag. We have lots of "play action" where the backfield looks like a run, but on those plays the OL is...

Interesting. I think our CBs have played well for the most part. They have covered well even though they may not have played the ball well at the end of certain plays.

We are not a good team right now, but it doesn't mean we cannot become one.

One of the most rewarding seasons I can ever remember as a coach was one where we started out losing something like 8 out of the first 9. Kids were down on themselves at that time, understandably. I kept preaching hard work, and above all, I kept reminding them of the truth as I saw it...

We could be sitting at 2-8 and my mindset would not change. Specifically, we should do everything in our power to become 3-8 and not 2-9. I am not a big proponent of playing for next year. Every contest is important for its own merits. Do what it takes to give yourself the best chance to win...

DC, you may be right and that injury you speak of had more far reaching consequences than you mentioned. For example, if TB is still at #2 then MJ is still helping at AB where we are really hurting for physical play. Also, if TB is still at #2, then our practices may have structured a little...

I didn't see anything different in terms of blitzing gaps etc. We have been playing against that forever. They lined up like most teams we play. There were some late line shifts and late blitz adjustments by the defense to react to our pre-snap direction calls. I am not sure what was tipping...

That's it! Opposite George! It may just work.

Well, I don't think PITT has a moble QB. That will help. We had a huge speed advantage last year. Hopefully that will be the case again this season. Simply put, we have to play better, regardless.

I don't know what the answer is, but you are right, AB is a huge problem.

I hate to even mention field conditions. I really do. However, I think there is a little to this. When it is wet and / or windy and passing is difficult, conventional wisdom says running teams have an advantage. In our case, because we are marginal passing and so good running, teams just come...

Bowl Streak? I am more concerned about establishing a win streak of one at the moment. No need to look past that.

Hmm....uh......well...... where to start? I guess the thing to do is give Clemson some credit. They are a really good defensive football team who took advantage of our weaknesses and made us pay, dearly. With that said, we were terrible. It was a combination of both. We were outmanned some and...

I hope today's game is kind of like the alcoholic hitting rock bottom. It is hard to imagine anything getting worse. I haven't watched the replay, but I can only imagine how tough that is going to be tomorrow. The only way some of that kind of stuff can happen over and over is by having people...

No prob. Look, I understand we all (well, most of us) like to get our facts right. However, your basic point in the OP remains unchanged. We haven't been explosive lately. When our offense is right, there is a nice combination of explosion plays and long drives. We need both really.

I hear you Chesse but you have to consider the context of some of these "block nobody plays". For example, our playside OT is supposed to release on the TO and pick up the LB running towards the pitch lane. He has to take an angle that allows him to actually get a piece of the LB. Well, if he...

No, it wasn't called back. We scored a couple plays later. It is in the official box score as a 48 yard run. Whatever, the point remains the same. We have had a single run over 25 yards in 3 games.
