[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 244376, member: 639"] I am glad I finally gave a gander to this thread. Personally, I have no concerns about Sewak's interview. None. I thought it was pretty good and reflective of what happened. I will never express my opinions as fact. With that said, as someone who watches these replays with great interest and repetition, every single week for years running now, I have the strongly held opinion that this defense gave us the stiffest test of ANY since I have been doing so. I believe that fully, without reservation. So for me, that is the starting point of this discussion. What is expected of our kids in the face of the greatest test they have faced yet? I base this on talent, experience AND preparation of BC's defense. To characterize this as our guys getting whipped, I disagree with strongly. We won some and lost some on the interior, in terms of "mano a mano" (don't know how to spell it). Against BC, 4 of 5 can win their own battle and it won't be enough. When a defense shifts, I simply don't know what all the "rules" are, in terms of OL checks and communication, therefore I am not going to judge, but rather, trust Sewak and all of our other coaches with this eval. I WILL say this though, the formations and the shifts APPEARED to my eye to cause some confusion relative to what I am used to seeing. Coach Sewak may question the value of all the formations, but to my eye, it had its intended effect, if you were a BC coach. Maybe it shouldn't have, and the GT coaches are rightfully angry, but I would say it did, none-the-less. This is the first game. We checked at the line, away from original plays on occasion. It sure looked like not everybody got the message, or the same message, all of the time. This is correctable and predictable for a first game. We have to remember, it is the kids who are playing, not the coaches, who have seen it all. For the kids, some of this was new. Probably the worst thing we can to is catasrophize (probably not a word, but I am inventing it for this sentence) the results of this contest. We won. We did just enough. We faced a huge challenge. That huge challenge revealed areas of needed growth for our kids that playing Tulane never would. We survived. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. That I believe. It nearly killed us, but it didn't. We won't face a bigger challenge from a defense (alone) all year, most likely. I see this as a win win. Quite frankly, if Climpsum's defense is close to BC's, we would have lost this game handily if it were against them, because their offense is probably a lot better in comparison. It wasn't Climpsum, but BC. Maybe it will help get us ready. Take a deep breath and resist the temptation to extrapolate wildly. We got this. [/QUOTE]
