Yeah it is a strange way to talk as if every player on the football field doesn't understand that it is a physical and punishing game, and that it is that way for everyone. Laskey's acceleration and body control allows him to meet the defenders in a manner where he isn't getting broken down any...

I really love this statement Coach. As long as armchair fan analysis is done humbly and respectfully to our players I don't mind it all that much. But I really like your sentiment as it connects to what I saw in the stands and really enjoyed about this game. I was struck by the notion that...

Over our 5 straight losses to Miami the team had given up an average of 35.8 points per game, over 40 points the last two games. For me the fact that we did not give up half that total this time is enough of a reason to pat the D on the back and not scrutinize them too hard (of course the...

I am starting to think Roof is a bit of a mad genius. It almost feels like there is a stretch of soft play sucking the QBs in to expecting something then sudden scheme or alignment change and pow! Get a big play interception/sack. Obviously, that is unintentional and just the "feel" I get but...

It is easy to miss distributing the love because this was a textbook great team effort and win.

I was very worried about the defense going into this game being able to get pressure on a young QB to help him make mistakes. But then I got to see the offense put a ton of pressure on the young QB for the defense by simply giving him less possessions and less time. Especially when Miami knows...

Hey Mack, I thought of you when the dive with Laskey was clearly being allowed by Miami every play last night. I loved it! Dive after dive after dive getting 3-7 yards. Miami was so scared of Justin Thomas they must have kept thinking they were good enough to get us off the field by allowing...

1) Every offense except the Air Raid tries and wants "to establish the run game" as offensive job number one, "win the war at the line of scrimmage" to get a push/surge forward. CPJ is just about the only coach smart enough (it seems at times) to know that if you really do that seriously then...

Like my brother said Miami may have only had 3 possessions in the 2nd half but there have been a lot of seasons where that would mean 21 points scored. I saw improvements out there on D today, but I primarily saw coaches who were really working together to the players strengths and trying to...

anyone catch that on camera? I want a vine!

The way you get ridiculous record setting defeats of ranked teams is . . . to do a terrible job of ranking teams to begin with. When the media from the preseason arbitrarily decides based on no evidence to rank every flipping team in a conference in the top ten well then you are going to get a...

Watched the game when I got home from it (can't sleep for the adrenaline) and it cracked me up to see a coach happy and slapping the helmet of the wide receiver who dropped the pass when they announced the reversal of the fumble call. I mean, he didn't catch the ball . . . and you congratulate...

I described that play to my brother right after it happened as that Hill "did a cartwheel, then a standing back flip, and then moonwalked along the 2 yard line for a few feet before going ahead and running in the endzone."

A New Englander Yellow Jacket fan I presume? :)

Ok you coaxed a response from me just to add to the numbers here attending. Will be trying to write feverishly during the day (or just late through Friday night and then sleeping in late). Then heading to the game probably only a couple hours early to catch YJ Alley, etc. I haven't pm'ed...

I stopped listening to sports talk years ago. One of the last segments I recall was Chuck O being unable to list the ACC teams in the Coastal division in the course of trying to discuss the conference. He couldn't get the Atlantic right either and couldn't even name every team in the...

I liked this and then thought about it . . . and still like the comment. But, I do want to add to the sentiment since I actually have never heard Smelter explain why he chose Tech. I want to add that at Tech Smelter could "do it all" as long as he was ready to put in the effort and hard...

Marriage? Or wife making the plans? :P (cheap joke, couldn't resist).

What DTGT wrote has a lot of unspoken premises so don't worry too much Vamos. Man I wish this thread never existed as I don't want to get sucked into debating economic theory, so I will lodge some criticisms and retire. "I guess saying all fiat money will fail is like saying the earth will...

I recall CPJ used to mention that he always hopes to get O-line depth and quality to the point that he can "play two lines" which suggests to me that he may prefer hockey style "line changes" and thus it might be more likely to happen for an entire drive rather than more individual rotation of...
