Play calls from the sideline are not coming to the field fast enough. D players , all 11, are facing the sideline with great focus and nothing is coming EXCEPT the O is lining up to run a play. It happened repeatedly at BDS this past Saturday. This should get fixed. Also on several occasions...

Duke plays much closer to error free solid football in all three phases. They just play well and wait for the opponent to implode. We have been recently the kind of opponent they thrive on.

My Dad grew up just off Techwood Dr. He went to O'Keefe HS but only finished the tenth grade. He was not so much of a football fan but he was a great fan and admirer of Bobby Dodd. He and Dodd were in their prime about the same time. I heard from my Dad about Coach Dodd from the time I was...

Looking from my perch in the North Stands for a solid performance and improvement in all three phases of the game today to set the tone for a run at Bowl eligibility. We will at a minimum be establishing some D experience and OLine depth against a worthy opponent and maybe even establishing some...

Agree. Is it the extreme complexity of the O blocking or the reluctance of the OLine coaches to play more people and build depth or just an inability to recruit OL quality players? Probably all three.

Is the D harder to learn etc? 1. rule changes have greatly helped the offense, especially holding and now the targeting and low blocking rules not to mention bias to O officiating such as flagging the D for hitting you when you are close to being out of bounds 2. bigger faster runners and...

The Stinger normally lines up on the wide side of the field. Nate has him in pass coverage (not rushing or containment) on 3rd and ten (several times). There is no containment when the stinger drops off in coverage. The QB sprints outside to the Stinger side (no pressure) and has an extra 5...

The Memphis kicker last night put the first 5 kicks into the endzone with no run back. (I did not watch after that). With a kicker like that I would let him kick. But with our kickers I would NEVER kick off to the best returner on the other team. That is something you can control. With our...

Any info on the OLine for Pitt with Cooper joining the group? Will Cooper play center or guard? Is Quinney out? Bryan on the move? Lee on the move? Centers platooning?

When it comes to his offense CPJ is a perfectionist. His O system is complex in concept, blocking, ball handling, presnap and postsnap reads, play calling, and adjustments. He expects a lot. It requires a lot. Bad things happen such as fumbles, dropped passes, errant passes, blocking breakdowns...

This week is big for the D. Some players look good in the weight room or in practice drills but in live action lack discipline or they cannot find the ball or get off blocks quick enough. It typically takes the coaches about 3 games to significantly sort these issues out. (We have a lot of new...

Penn had a lot to do with it but not being able to handle a wet snap on STs was the killer for Pitt.

Dodd's teams could make those crucial plays....called Dodd Luck. I agree a few plays make the difference and we need something to make that happen....players/coaches/leadership/pixie dust/ or?

Can only punt a kickoff after a safety.

Maybe this opens the door for a couple of series with T Oliver running the ball to spread the load somewhat. If that 236 lb walkon BB can block he would be good in TO's series. Will CPJ think out of his normal box?

If you are talking about KB he has already redshirted and will only have his SR year left.

From what I saw repeatedly against S Fla we needed a LB to stay home in the middle to get the QB when he bolted. This was especially important since our 2 CBs and 2 Ss were in deep pass coverage (not sure where the Stinger was all day). Our LBs seem to disappear in the wash leaving the QB to...

And the non existent adjustment as the QB keep doing the same thing over and over.

We do have one new weapon for bad weather not requiring much ball handling risk: T Oliver on the keeper. Hope CPJ uses it some.

He can fair catch now anywhere as always, inside or outside the 25 but now a fair catch inside the 25 gives you the ball on the 25. Outside the 25 you get the ball where you fair catch it..
