I just listened to the replay. One thing that struck me as odd is he said we didn't do anything out of the ordinary with the OL, just played better. No more drive blocking than usual and the splits remained the same as always.

If CPJ is going to say stuff like that I wish he would at least have the decency to quote me (or at least admit he reads this board):

I only saw our first 3 drives against Louisville; I don't think anything is glaringly different in terms of splits or blocking assignments. In my opinion I'd go back to something CPJ often says (paraphrased): "Sometimes it isn't calling a particular play or a using a different strategy. Sometimes guys just have to play better."

Duke will be healthy coming off their bye....again. Wonder why we have struggled against Duke recently? Duke is improved and the ACC office has been very...accommodating...to them scheduling wise.

Now where did I leave my pitchfork and torch?

Duke's got more injuries than we do. It's mid-October - everyone has injuries.

One thing in these interviews was the concentration of the questions about how the O sputtered in the second half last year against Puke. I remember that game well. The problem was that the D couldn't stop them. The offense was not exactly tearing up the pea-patch, but the main thing was that we couldn't get them off the field and, once we missed two turns, we had to think more about catching up instead of playing our game. We were trying to score too fast and things got more desperate because we couldn't stop them.

This game will not, imho, depend on our O; I have no doubt that we'll move the ball on them. It will depend on our D and how well we can handle them, especially on the ground. If we can choke off their running game - that's what beat us last year - then we can begin to cause trouble for their passing. I hope we can do that. I don't know that we will.

Update: Coach seems to agree about the second half last year. See - sorry, listen - above.

Well, both things happened--the O sputtered and the D didn't stop Duke. Maybe if the O had kept pace the D would have stepped up. Maybe if the D had stepped up the O would have kept going. Which comes first?

(Yes, I would obviously have liked the D to have completely shut Duke out for the entire game. But, when it's a boat race, both boats have to keep racing).

From the Tuesday (Oct 9) radio interview pasted below:
"The open date came at a good time. It's well documented how many people we've had out. We do have a lot of our guys back. Obviously Mark Gilbert and Marvin Hubbard are out for the season, but we should be at full strength otherwise. I don't know if everybody is completely well, but we're going to go try and practice football today." - Cutcliffe
David Cutcliffe: Playing an option attack like Georgia Tech is always challenging for us

To be completely fair, KirVonte is better than all those Duke guys combined.
