2013 Spring Game. Threw ropes on the run.

The wind is probably a bigger factor in this game (20-25mph) than the wet. It will affect the long passing game, the punt and KO game, and the field goal game...slight advantage GT. The wet typically hurts the smaller faster team, helps the power running team, and can help the passing...

IMO Our lack of experience is at the (WR and RB) positions most likely to hurt us the least and after the way these players performed so far I think it is an issue in our favor compared to the ND issues from their inexperience.

I hope we run several option pitches to the BB, M Marshall as well.

Opinion on blocking: Some injuries come from blocking, whether it is option football or other. One significant reason our offense is successful is that WE BLOCK, probably better than most any other team. Our WRs and ABs in particular are blockers, a requirement to get on the field. Teams have...

I have no idea what responsibilities that Jabari has been given by his coaches, but watching play after play it seems to me he is the spy.....hold your ground, stay squared up to be able to pursue side to side, stop the draw, middle screen, and QB if he bolts from the pocket, and generally clog...

I saw Green do that in a game last year and in the Tulane game this year Chungong did at least once.

Whitehead subbed some on STs and at DE late in both games with the backups.

Coach BK does a good job of answering questions without giving away the farm. He certainly has the advantage of many knowledgeable people asking a variety of good clear questions....unlike the ones CPJ often gets. This was an impressive group of people asking relevant football questions using...

No wait at the turnstiles 45-50 minutes ahead of kickoff and you get to see all the players warm up (those hurt, backups, redshirts, scout players, and walk-ons included- a whole team experience).

I was in the stands early for both games. I like to watch warmup and view the players. About half the attendance shows up within 15 minutes (one side or the other) of kickoff.

And Cottrell, Benson, Walker, and Philpott will be added in 2016. Not sure about Gantt but I suspect he is quick like T Marshall.

"off tackle" terminology is traditionally at or just outside the OT's outside leg. Bear Bryant used to say that to win you have to be able to run off tackle and to stop the off tackle play on D. The game has changed with the faster players and the spread offenses with all the passing, but there...

Agree that our OL overall is doing a great job. Even when downfield and missing on a block the presence of a 300 lb lineman downfield is a distraction to the D. I was not addressing getting to the MLB specifically, just addressing plays where the OL releases to block downfield and takes an angle...

I think you are technically correct but it is usually not enforced if there is no deception to gain an advantage. I see players in motion zig zagging a lot without being penalized. You do make a fine point.

Without "telling you who" I have noticed, this year and last, that our OTs come off the LOS and run right at the D player instead of taking an angle to where the D player will move as the play develops. I do not know whether they are coached to do that to not give away the direction of the play...

Play was around right end, first headed east and then turned upfield headed north. Blocker (IKE) was running die north toward the db who was facing south. As the runner moved toward the sideline the DB rotated 90 degrees, facing east, just as IKE cut him low from the side, a 3 o'clock hit. A...

I was at the game and my observation takeaway was we did not pressure the QB very well with 4 rushers. However, early this morning I rewatched the game and saw that we indeed had good pressure from the front four on many plays. Gotsis and the DE's did a good job on many plays and Gamble did well...

Re Shamire. I was in the N Stands in the sun. It got very hot in the second quarter. Shamire started to drag and slugged off the field looking really tired. I have noticed from several games and scrimmages that I have witnessed in person that he has OK stamina in cooler weather but the intense...

I agree . Marcordes was in good position in coverage on several plays and made some tackles. He is making positive strides. Noble was getting some good pressure on blitzes but ran past the ballcarrier when blitzing (last week also) on run plays. The other backers besides PJ need to step up. I...
