"I gotta do an hour a night! I'm lookin' for warm bodies. That's all. If I can get seven minutes out of you, I take a bundle, I go home to Malibu!"

I agree that our improvement on offense has been dramatic.
What I'm wondering is whether there is a way to identify the patterns that are more successful on average given the athletes we have and the kind of offense we want to run.
For example, ND runs this play four times per game with an...
I'm not an offensive guru by ANY measure, but when I watch oh, I dunno, Colorado or some of these air-raid offensive teams, it appears to my untrained eye that they've got a helluva lot of receivers running all over the place and their QB's have lots of places they can go with the ball. By...
I can think of a number of important characteristics of linemen:
height
weight
strength
quickness
stamina
skill
Here's my question: Assuming all other things to be equal, how important is weight? IOW, if you have two guys squaring off against each other (OL v DL), and one guy is 350 lbs and...

"General Custer, sir, we have reports of a large group of indigenous personnel headed our way. We've seen campfire smoke and clouds of dust from galloping horses."
"Lieutenant, that's illegal. We can't use that information."
"Yes, sir. I'll tell the men not to...
Rubbish.
It's not about "training wheels" for Key. It's about getting more players of higher caliber into the program for multiple years in a row. Lots more. Kids want to win. LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade wanted to win when they went to Miami, and they were adults. People want to...
Yeah, that looks good to recruits. And the extra practice time? Totally overrated.
Better to sit home and watch the bowl games than to play in one. :rolleyes:
