Sugar Bowl vs Michigan
For Jerod Evans' first loss in the orange and maroon
Well... technically... black and grey.
We do not need to give Dragon less snaps next week. He is a playmaker and he already isn't getting many touches as it is. Everyone is upset with the fumbling, but removing top weapons from the field isn't the solution.
Thanks for the context.
First of all, I would say we're fumbling the ball too much.
Well I'm glad we got that out of the way
Pretty sure it's Pizza=Pie vice versa
Sam can be used as a weapon all day long with Travon and or Shai or McClease
Sam's massive 30 yard gain and then TD catch is exactly how I would love to see Fuente continue to use Sam.
Definitely Phillips, McMillan has that it factor in open field. I think in replacement on who gets those reps, Phillips = Henry, Diablo and McMillan = McKenzie (he is looking good out there).
At least the fans and coach seem to be on the same page. Seems like we can all agree the scheme looks good, just eliminate mental errors.
To me, it's focused on, there's nothing schematically or teaching-wise, it's can we create takeaways, can we take care of the football, and can we be disciplined. If we can do those things then we'll have a chance."
As mentioned above, students are shafted in regards to home schedule for umpteenth year in a row. Duke, 'Cuse, and ND all over winter break?? Are you kidding me?
it kinda bugs me when reporters ask players about differences between coaches...they're obviously fishing for the player to say one situation is better than the other..it's a bad place to put a kid. They have been well coached in deflecting though. I appreciate the answer McGlock gave

# | Ask TKP: What's your one positive and negative takeaway from Battle at Bristol? Price at Pitt is a beast. One of best sack leaders in nation last year. 1 st team all ACC This year 2.5 - 22 yds SACKS 6 QBH 2 Forced fumbles all ready. The big 330lb DT has been good too.
Norm Wood is who asked it. The full question was something along the lines of "The national all-time retention rate for offensive fumbles is 40%. VT is at 10%. Is there some luck into not recovering the fumbles or bad bounces or is a lack of effort type deal." That's not an exact quote, but that's where Norm was coming from.
Not to mention Sam was killer in the pass game. So maybe he's a little less dynamic than the other guys. Giving him carries and having him on the field sets up great passing situations
Shane Beamer has got to be feeling that SMUGSWAG this week.
Because, regardless of how well we played last year, Tobacco Road still runs this conference. It's a blueblood thing, not a recent success thing.
Reading the Justin Fuente comments, it appears that someone asked why they weren't recovering more fumbles. If that's the case, I bet Coach wanted to punch that guy in the neck.
That's all well and good, Ryno, but did you ask the one question that was pervasive this weekend:
Are you bringing back the glove on a stick?

Pizza>Pie ?
I would not want to be those kids at practice this week.
I guarantee Phillips and McMillan see less snaps this week.
Reminder: we are in the Wake/BC category in this league
Honest question -- why do you think that? We finished 5th in the ACC last year, we're in several
preseason Top 25 and it's common knowledge that we return basically everyone and add a couple great players as well. We are not in the same category as a team that went 0-The ACC last season.
Steve Addazio knew about that band you like way before you and has already grown tired of them.
Also the RB by committee never works well, especially when no groove can be felt by the back.
Oh man its coming 1 more week until the RB Comparison- Carousel or Workhorse ?
PS someone had 14 carries the next closest back had 5...

# | Ask TKP: What's your one positive and negative takeaway from Battle at Bristol? Yeah, we need to find the three guys on the inside we are going to roll with.
I'm not upset to see Chung in there, Gallo has never been a world-beater. At least we have enough bodies for a competition.
