[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 368052, member: 844"] Crowd noise and intimidation in hostile environments. You just don't waltz into the whatever the heck the name of the stadium that the U plays in or Scott Stadium in Charlottesville or Wallace Wade in Durhams in front of 100's of screaming fans and expect to walk out of their with a victory. In places like that, if a fan in row 100 says something mean, you can hear it. It gets in your head. Or you can hear the hot dog vendor. All of a sudden, you are thinking of how nice it would be to have a couple of dogs with slaw and relish. Meanwhile, you are not carrying out your assignment and you fail to block the guy in front of you or you forget to wrap up the ballcarrier and what should have been a 2 yard gain goes for 8 or 10. Coaches aren't immune. When you get to thinking about hot dogs, you can forget to dial up plays to bring pressure on what heretofore has been a pretty pedestrian QB and a line that has struggled to protect him.
