The other thing with the service academies is the academy prep schools, where recruits go for 1 year and run the offense. Doesn't count against their 4 years and they show up as frosh with a year in the system. Pretty big advantage as many positions take time to learn.

Brian Cook's Cal Poly offenses were awesome. Always wanted to see what would happen with him at OC here. I like Monken and Elliott. Not feelin Whisenhunt but what the hell do I know.

Very much agree, and just how I was hoping things would unfold. A few other thoughts: If you are a DC you have to focus on stopping both QBs. Do you have different ways of lining up and playing each QB? Can you practice each way enough to be effective? Miami looked ready for Oliver and their D...

Oliver accelerates after contact nicely...and overlooked aspect of 'football speed'. Dwyer and Nesbitt had this quality too, as did Orwin Smith. He also just shows a force of will to go forward and get whatever is there for the taking. You hear about how determined and hard-working he is and it...

I am not out advocating a change, but if a change happened I would be good with it. I don't like the consistently crappy special teams, and defense has been an adventure constantly. The league seems to have gotten better around us and we have not kept pace. I see the potential of Woody's defense...

I agree his past statistics show he has not been a very effective passer. My point is that the offense's ceiling is going to be way higher if we can have at least a semi-effective passing game, and Marshall is the more likely candidate to develop such a game if it is to happen THIS YEAR. He...

Should play both QBs and let the hot hand ride. Oliver will improve in the passing game but not this year IMO. However it gives the O a different set of plays to pound until they don't work. Plus fresh legs at QB (QB has basically been a RB for us this year) and change of pace. Ultimately will...

You are right Mike that Miami fans and ex-players are going to be very impatient. It helps Richt that previous regimes have sucked and that he is recruiting well. Will be interesting to see how quickly he gets turned on.

According to this Miami recruiting has vastly improved under Richt. IMO he gets more time to win with his guys: https://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2018/2/8/16990550/college-football-recruiting-rankings-2018-class They show GT's 2-yr and 5-yr ranking as being static (49th & 48th).

Three things really: 1. Special teams have KILLED us this year. See USF, Pitt, and Duke. Giving up big returns, gaffes in our own return game, the missed kicks early in the game. My single biggest gripe about Paul Johnson...consistently horrible ST's. How did so many Tr-Fr get on the coverage...

A few thoughts on the QB position after reading this thread: 1. Oliver is a slasher who hits the hole downhill with great authority and quickness. As such he provides the offense a different dimension and feel than when Taquon is in. Therefore IMO he should at the very least play several series...

One thing I liked about Oliver's passing is that--like his running--it's very decisive. He drops back in a hurry and unloads it. We'll have to see about accuracy and decisionmaking. Arm strength is average to below average IMO, but good enough for what we do. When he runs the ball he is very...

75 was about the age my dad quit going to games. He cited the traffic, parking, energy it took, etc. So that definitely plays into it for older adults.

It will never happen.

I don't think CPJ would EVER give up playcalling, period. And that's not the point of this thread. The point of the thread is to have fun exploring "what if he did give up playcalling". Here is an argument for "it might actually work in that alternative reality where he would would do it"...

Thoughts: Tired of seeing guys try to extend plays that aren't there and subsequently fumbling. Just take what's there and get down. Both Taquon's and Thomas' fumbles were of this variety. Take what's there and get down. KO coverage and return continue to kill us. KO Coverage gave Duke one of...

Stewart on 2-minute drive before half.

I like Christian Campbell. He hits hard and makes plays.
