Our starters missed some tackles. Early in the game we had missed tackles (by 41 and 42 where we did not wrap up) on plays that would have been big losses. 12 missed a tackle behind the LOS. 8 missed two in space one on one. There were several missed tackles in the line play in traffic, not as...

Late in the games Whitehead is subbing in on kick off coverage and playing some DE (in both games). Right now IMO he is the #6 DE behind Freeman, Chungong, Simmons, St Amour, and Stargel (#4 rush DE)....not counting Gamble who I believe is now more destined to stay at DT since according to CPJ...

Thomas and Byerly were out there when there was some blocking. Brady was out there to kill the clock and take care of the ball. He was taking a beating (one for the team) without much blocking. I do not think CPJ wanted to expose Jordan to that. We were not trying to score, just kill some time...

We did get to see a few minutes of Martensen with the first team late in the Spring Game and he moved the team down the field very well. And he can make "reads". I agree that we really have not seen much of the backups with good blocking so we do not know much. We have a lot of plays not...

Yes. E Joe went through the playing himself into shape last season and that worked out OK. He started at 326 lbs, now listed at 307-312, and has become a really good player. Hopefully Devine is on the same path to play himself into playing stamina, regardless of his weight .

yes he did.

In interviews I thought CPJ made it clear that (with Thomas and Byerly healthy) the third string QB was not going to play much, if at all past the first game. He thought Jordan was too good an athlete to sit so he moved him to AB to get some PT with the option to move him back to QB when and if...

Redshirts still intact on these players who are on the 8 Sept depth chart: Curry, Dotson, and Glanton. I guess they are on "standby" if needed but not necessarily a plan to play them? I could see consideration to play Dotson to break up that freshmen threesome at CB. Stargel played some at DT in...

I completely agree with your assessment of Bryan, Klock, and Andrews. They are good quality backups with little drop off from our starters. Fromayan has played more than Bryan and Klock and can play tackle or guard. He is probably our 9th OLineman with some drop off but solid. After that there...

I really liked Boomer's analyses of the defense. My only negative reaction was about the "no missed tackles" as I thought there were several. I rewatched the game and have to agree that the tackling was good (so much better than this time last year). However, the starters did miss 3 tackles...

I agree that Jordan may have a good future at AB, as a receiver, blocker, and runner. He was impressive on two runs up the sideline (and blocking). However he was unable to make the full 90 degree cut and in both cases his momentum took him out of bounds where there was opportunity to get more...

Overall a good retailed and accurate analyses. Maybe not so rosy if the Alcorn QB had not missed so many short throws or his receivers had not dropped so many passes. We did let two receivers get open deep behind us (one for a long completion) and there were some missed tackles and...

Our O will stand up against ND but our D has to play well. We have to scheme to stop the run, it is difficult to get a pass rush, the QB can scramble and he has really good arm strength and accuracy on long throws. Stopping ND will be the challenge and our hope is to get turnovers or make some...

Typically a lot of the fans came in at the last minute. Lots of scattered empty seats in the N Stands. More than half the crowd left early (the 4 th Q was dull). There were lots of empty seats in the gold chairs in the lower East Stands. People were on good behavior. Sold tickets may have been...

IMO from the nose bleed north stands: Alcorn went 3 and out against our starters due mainly to poor throws and dropped passes. There was more action against the backups where the top two tacklers in the game were backup DBs (C Griffin and L Griffin), not the group I want to lead the D in...

IMO these are reasons: (1) Will came in early and worked his way to #3 tackle (CPJ wants to play the best 3). I suspect Will earned it. (2) Our two starting tackles are seniors so we need replacements (C Griffin is the other) for next season with experience. With Fromayan #3 we will have 3...
