Win 6 games and get a bowl bid and the season is still a success. Gonna be tougher now, since NIU should've been a cupcake.

No, we are not. We aren't to blame for missed FGs, poor throws, missed assignments, blown coverage, no DL pressure, and terrible clock mgmt. Adding another 20,000 fans - with no other changes - doesn't change the outcome of Saturday pm.

1990 vs Clemson & uga, 1998 vs UVA (Homecoming). Tiki Barber & Crew vs JoeHam & Dez White, et al

Our PKs are choking. Plain & simple. Watch every FG replay. Almost every time, the PK's foot is slamming into the ground a good 6" behind the ball, which causes the foot to skip off the ground and slam into the ball halfway up, rather than at the bottom. This results in the ball being...

Ray Guy holds that honor. 1974 - Oakland Raiders.

I'm sure our PKs are NOT being coached to kick the ground 6" behind the ball, which basically bounces their foot into the ball halfway up, rather than near the bottom, resulting in line drives that are 5' high that hit our own OLmen in the back. So far, they are just choking in gametime...

Agreed but the Doomer millennials will do everything possible to stay locked up in their houses, safe from all life's dangers for as long as possible so they can continue their productive lives of video gaming and Netflix streaming. They are the loudest, most-cowardly demographic in all this.

and yet not win a single game! :(

Should be in "Coaches in the Modern Era: 1992-Present" thread?

Definitely this. The 2009 squad was nice but lost to both the mutts at home (worst loss of PJ Era) and a very ho-hum bowl loss that was a harbinger.

We've only had CGC and Thacker one year and looked better with basic D fundamentals in that 1 year of a new system than in 1 year of Woody's new system.

It was a transition to a new system in 2019 too....and that transition saw better tackling and overall fundamentals than those displayed under Nate Woody.

I already saw vast improvement in those 2 areas (tackling, lines to ball carriers) in 1 year of CGC. 1 year of CGC in a new system looked much better than 1 year of Nate Woody in a new system.

not surprising. CGC is a far superior DC coach to Nate Woody. We seriously lacked fundamentals like tackling and lines to ball carriers under Woody. Lots to work on but already saw vast improvement in those 2 areas in 1 year of CGC.

I imagine there would've been plenty of "We're in the middle of one of the biggest offensive transitions in history - be patient!" from his fans........:ROFLMAO:

You're welcome to your opinion as well and I respect how you broke it down above even as I politely disagree of the significance of such small #s. 'Tis the offseason though so this is what will have to tide us over til the Spring game!

5 more completions on 7 less attempts isn't a significant change IMO.

key word was "significantly". TW had 1 more completion on 17 fewer attempts and 1 more game from jr. year to sr. year.

The Hive became nothing more than a PJ Echo Chamber, where anything that reflected any shade on ol' PJ got you banned. Good riddance to that place.

Gator Bowl in '99 was the equivalent of the Orange Bowl in 2014. We weren't playing the Orange Bowl's first invites, which were BCS-playoff-bound. We had an ACC co-championship under GOL...and didn't lose it to NCAA infractions. We also had a Heisman candidate that PJ never had. To me, GOL...
