    Imo, it's about 25% team and 75% coaching that needed the wake-up call.

    The Citadel Postgame

    Read again what you said that I put in bold. I think you're right. TStan was not going to fire CPJ, but the pressure was certainly on. CPJ did the admirable thing, but you can't both blame CPJ and admit that TStan was going to get rid of him at the same time. Now, I think my support for CPJ...

    Has the hype been humbled?

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not pulling the plug. I'm saying, imo, this is a wake-up call to the coaches to evaluate what they're doing. If they take it as a problem with the players, as some here have done, then I think that's misreading the situation. Now, I have doubts that CDP is the answer...

    That's not what I saw. He lost possession before the ball crossed the line, imo.

    Has the hype been humbled?

    I think the recent performances from FSU, d'oh U, and Tenn are reasons to think that hanging your hat on recruiting isn't enough. Imo, recruiting makes the difference between good game-coaches. It doesn't necessarily win games when you don't have good game-coaching.

    Don't get me wrong, I agree that we played poorly in the first half. However, the turn-around in the second half shouldn't be ignored.

    We lost by 5, missing a FG and PAT, and gained more yards against Pitt. Smdh

    Stop this. We were a bowl team that went 5-3 in conference last year, a fluke loss to Pitt from the ACCCG. Saying that all of a sudden we have FCS talent in need of a rebuild is fake news.

    I actually don't think the problem is Lucas Johnson (though it might be, because he seems to miss the reads on zone-options too much) but the play-calling for each of these guys. I think we become too predictable. We put in LJ on a 3rd and long and then don't protect against the blitz or throw...

    The Citadel Postgame

    Beneath you. People rightly complained about those losses, and pointed fingers where they belonged. Are you saying that our Locker-Room is a disaster now and that we have a QB with a Heisman Campaign like our 2010 loss to KS? Are you equating the inability to move the ball on O and stop the...

    We haven't lost to an FCS team since RefrigeratorMover was on our OL.

    The Citadel Postgame

    2 pts/drive is the average against Pwr5 competition. Giving 2.5 ppd against an FCS team is horrible.

    The Citadel Postgame

    We didn't protect the QB. We bring in Lucas and run the exact same play we ran with Lucas all game even though we should have known they'd blitz just like CU and USF did.

    The Citadel Postgame

    That's a sad use of our last several years as a standard. Even with the stupid penalties in the first half, we gave up a lot in the second half -- just like we did last week against USF.

    Fwiw, I thought your labeling was clear enough. I just ignored it in my first read-through, but when I immediately saw the data didn't match 2018 GT, I read your labels. It all took only a few seconds.

    The Citadel vs. Georgia Tech Predictions

    Yeah, average is not that good. I'm not saying that we won't get better. I'm saying that we're not yet as good as I expected, let alone hoped. Our defense is better than it's been by a good bit, imo. Yet, it seems to me to be the around 25-30 ranked D we were hoping to pair with CPJ's O. I...

    USF vs Wisc 2.80 ypp; allowed 6.30 ypp USF vs GT 4.74 ypp; allowed 3.67 ypp We are not that good currently, maybe the worst team in ACC. We win but don't cover. 28-10.
