Postgame BC

[pinglett]

How did Andy Demetra do? Is there some link I can find of him announcing the game?

I thought he did a great job. To me, he's a touch more of a professional than Gaudin.

Just finished watching the replay. Mills is going to be a good one, but he looked a step slower than MM to me. He (Mills) took several major licks though, and still managed to get the job done into the 4th. The future looks bright.

CPJ talked about the missed assignments on offense. Do you guys think this will be a trend again this year or did BC just do a good job of confusing us with their alignments on D? CPJ seemed to think they fixed it in fall camp

I think this is a learning experience and mostly an anamoly. Bad footing played a role in it.

Combination of the 2. We got completely dominated/whipped, but we also missed a TON of blocks.
What's worse was watching their offensive line pushing our front 7 five yards down field. Not sure if that or our lack of passing game is the biggest problem we have.

That was an *** whooping all around but we clawed and got the W.

Yeah, Hermine is coming through (not what she was) but I put up the flag this morning and here it is at high tide. So I hope we don't hear about people complain about rain in Ireland, we have bigger badder American rain (tic).

After reflecting on the game. I think we stole one.

I think we did, on a second viewing. And in that viewing, I have to walk back part of my criticism of Thomas's quickness. he absolutely froze some Dbacks on that 10-yard run down to the 12 or so. (And maybe made the best play of the game on the first play of that drive when he somehow got out of the trap, rolled back, broke a tackle long enough to fling the ball out of bounds but past the line of scrimmage. A very nice play that shows on the charts as an incomplete pass. Well done. And that is how we got to be 1-0.

One more coastal win than we had all last year already.

BC isn't in the coastal though

There were missed assignments and bad reads (3TO give to the BB and a midline give to the BB in the 1st half for sure).

I think GT definitely had worse footing than BC for whatever reason. They were not sliding around like our guys. The team slowed down due to the unsure footing.

GT does not play as well in rain... I think there is enough data to confirm this statement (except that one UNC win)

Still a young team, but I think/hope they can grow up/old fast. They may have been dazzled a little by the experience.

One last thing... it seems to take the team 4 games to warm up to fire on all cylinders (ala 2014).

Looking forward to your breakdown. All I know is that a close win beats a close loss. I didn't think we were that young..... mid age, maybe. And we have gotten better in past seasons as the season goes on; removing the cupcake wins early on. Last year we just got more banged up and worse.

This is a consistent problem with GT. Remember the Emerald bowl against the other FSU? From the jump, it seemed that the GT players played tentative and slow due to lack of footing.

Remember lads it usually takes 2-3 games for our option to get rolling with a proper head of steam

Gawd that sucked, One of the hardest to watch games in my memory

Our yds/play was pretty average compared to what last year's BC Def gave up.
However, our pts/drive weren't bad. Here's last year's BC Def pts/drive:

We got our 17 pts in 9 drives, 1.89 pts/drive. Which isn't bad against this context.

 

[Longestday]

Young as in Juniors and Seniors... Young compared to the 2014 team?

 

[Animal02]

Gut check win.......hope they remember this and never give up in any game.

I can not stand our bend but don't break defense.

Per Sports Source Analytics: Bend but don't break is an atrocious strategy on def. Avg FBS tm scores points 71% of time & TDs 45% of time on drives averaging 10+ plays.

I can't say I loved the rush 3 strategy when BC was out of time outs.

You didn't love that it worked?

If I remember correctly, Ted Roof said he runs bend but don't break because he doesn't have the necessary personnel to do otherwise. But I admittedly don't know what he ran at Auburn and Penn State before us.
