OL recruiting seems rather fickle, and seems to have a lot of "want to" associated with it that's somewhat hard to tell on tape. If you look at FSU and UM, they have horrible OL right now. Most of their guys were highly recruited, so I'm wondering whether its motivation or bad coaching? I...

Maybe its watching it on TV vs at the stadium, but it seemed like there were a few times on 3rd down where our zones were too soft? We were covering 30 yards of field when we needed to cover 10. Top that off with a 3 man rush and the QB has all day to pick us apart. The D is getting better...

GT is at home vs UVA. GT wins. It's almost science at this point. I also think there's going to be some looking ahead to getting the VT monkey off their back. Good analysis. Probably the key matchup will be how we contain Perkins.

I think this was my favorite block by Mason during the game....he ate that guy for lunch and dinner

If you read the media days comments from all the players in the ACC about defending the option....the Pitt guy LOVED playing us because it was going to be physical football. The UNC guys dread it. You can almost guess who's going to do well and who's not based on want to....

There was a noticeable change around the Clemson game (Trevor Lawrence is really good!). We did not play good defense against USF and Pitt. And you're comparing a group that had 4-5 years of experience with a defense vs. a Spring and Fall practice. We are also playing a lot more people now...

Thanks for the breakdown. I can see why it would be tricky the way UNC was playing the mesh to make that read. Would shortening the mesh time have helped in that instance, or do you just need to make the right choice? I thought the rule of thumb was give when in doubt....

I like that it appears we're getting better as the season goes on. The light came on for ASA, and he's been a monster since. He's someone who needs to be accounted for on every play. I really like where we're going to be in the defensive backfield over the next few years. At S, we've got...

Will be interested to hear ibeeballin's breakdown on the D. We only gave up 3 points in the first half, and then kind of became a revolving door in the 2nd. I don't know whether the backup QB made better decisions, or whether UNC made adjustments. The WR for UNC made a lot of good plays that...

I'm pretty sure that Swofford's kid works for them. They do help make sure every ACC is on TV. I'll also say the broadcast was pretty bad. I know it's hard to follow the ball with us, but there were times where they weren't even showing the game as play was going on. If you can't get that part...

I have no idea what the slots are......I could see an afternoon/night ESPNU game? Clemson/BC is in the College Gameday/ABC night slot now.

Due to the SEC network, likely noon. There aren't many SEC games that are contracted to the SEC that day. I think we're the only ACC team on the road for the rivalry games. Egg bowl is usually not on Saturday. There is limited content to put on the SEC network. Although some people would...

Yeah, they were fast. We won the game, and MVP was Spiller. I was in the stands watching Michael Vick during a preseason game during his rookie year with the Falcons. He was breathtakingly fast. Being able to run away from NFL dbs is impressive.

Likely would be a good follow up for College Gameday. I'm hoping for a cold night game, ala 2008.

3 point stance is good for going forward in any direction. We're also in a forward leaning 3 point stance. C is in a 4 point stance, and he's basically going straight ahead forward. If you see the teams that pass a lot, they have their guys in 2 point stances (especially at tackle), which isn't...

If you look at the way TO takes hits vs the way TM takes hits, it's a huge difference. The angles and wear the momentum is coming from saves a lot of wear and tear. The worst hit he took probably came from our own offensive lineman trying to push him forward. Tevin had a way of finding the...

If we get to play James Graham in two more games, that's a good thing. I think it was appropriate to put him in at that point. I'm not worried that Paul is going to forget.

I'm impressed by TO's play, but he's much more Tevin than Josh. Slick runner and doesn't take hard hits. I would say he's a bit faster than Tevin. Tobias wasn't trucking people like Josh. And Josh had a cannon for an arm....almost too good?

Coach West wasn't the first choice when we brought back the 2nd OLine coach. We couldn't match Miami for the guy (I think Searals?) I also can't imagine that Ray Rychelski was a first choice. It might have been a timing thing, but he didn't strike me as a CPJ type coach. He seemed lost about...

Oh the recruitniks thought he was a LB (which he played in HS). Watching his movement and size on tape, I saw a college DE. He's not fast/quick enough to cover in space, imo. He looks great for what we're trying to do at DE though.
