Yes. That hit took him out of the game, but there were indications that he was already hurt/injured prior.

Rewatch our very first series. King got hit after failing to connect on two off-target throws and left the field favoring his right arm. The announcers commented on it. He continued playing but his accuracy was not up to par. You can speculate as to whether or not he already had a nagging...

Sarasota now appears to be in the direct path of the eye. Prayers for General Wallace's and his friend's safety.

Agree with your first sentence, not so sure about the second. Yes, some states have legislated some rivalries, which I assume is what you are referring to. I may have missed your point, though. Currently, in most states, there are many state universities that not only don't play each other...

Link? I can't find it on RR.com, and Google doesn't seem to know where it is either.

This is fun. We’re Georgia Tech, and we can debate the meaning of “downfield”, “midrange”, and “deep throws”. How about the meaning of “more”? That would be interesting too. s/

Agree that opponent-adjusted stats are likely not that accurate in some extreme cases. And Duke has played a relatively weak schedule. But as of today they have played three P4 opponents and only one scored more than 21 points. And that's with a weak offense that tends to keep their defense...

I’m unsure how to interpret your post. You seem to be saying Duke hasn’t played a good offense yet, thus we can’t tell if they are a good defense or not. That’s actually what advanced stats like FEI and EPA/play can tell you, since they factor in strength of opponents, and by mid-season tend to...

True, but I think FEI ratings/rankings are opponent-adjusted. @slugboy can correct me if I'm mistaken about this. Also, I would add that Duke was tested by a high-flying offense last Saturday. :)

Haha – You may have a biased opinion, but I have no reason to disagree. 😊 I share your confidence that that Zach can step in at any time and run Buster’s offense, and with his heavier build has already shown how he is the best choice to run certain plays. This thread segment was initiated by...

This proposal seems to be well-received by the ADs who have seen it. It also utilizes a relegation and promotion system that has been discussed on this board. I’m most interested to see how the new league governance would work. I assume it would not retain much if any connection to the...

Speculation on my part, but I think our offense has only been near 100% healthy (especially Jamal) in two games - FSU and Duke. Per FEI, FSU has an average and Duke has an above-average defense. In each of these games, we successfully executed a ball-control game plan and scored 24 points...

"If you can't see the progress..." Thanks for watching it and providing a synopsis. Not sure I have the stomach to watch.

Our remaining games include 3 very good teams, 2 currently ranked below us, and VT. 3-3 VT, whose only wins are against Old Dominion, Marshall, and arguably the worst team in the ACC, seems overranked. Granted, they took Miami to the wire, but Miami has also looked somewhat overrated in their...

Our “ok” offense scored the most points and gained the most yards against the 5th-ranked defense (ranked after their loss to us) in the ACC. And except for UNC, no other team Duke played came close to the yards we put up. Our special teams shoulder a good portion of the blame for our scoring not...

Is FEI still influenced by its pre-season preloaded stats? I mean, why isn't FSU closer to the bottom of the ACC?

I don't follow him on X/Twitter, so perhaps that's why I was unaware. He should tread lightly if he ever wants another FBS coaching gig since it's a fairly small community. Not that he needs one for the dough.

I understand your point about developing backups. Best done in the context of low-risk game situations unless you have a really serious injury to King. There is no conclusive evidence of that in the Duke game. We've had only two games this year that otherwise allowed for backup reps - VMI and...

I haven't seen evidence of that. It may be because I purposefully haven't been looking. Not defending TFG by any means, but where have you seen that he does this? I recall he was quoted once saying WTTE that maybe he wasn't ready for a head coach job (?) If he is indeed dissing our program...

Good points, supported by stats. The good news for our defense is that UNC leans heavily on Omarion Hampton, making him one of the rushing leaders in all of FBS. Last year this would have been a recipe for a bad game for us. This year our run defense has made an amazing turnaround. They will...
