yep, in the past we only got limited highlights on Youtube.

BUT- there were always 2-3 open to the public scrimmages. There is none of that this year. Bud debuted the Nickel Bear front look that he used vs Ohio State in the scrimmage before the spring game in 2014. I wrote about the use of a pressure front, but the revelation was minimal because being there in person makes it very tough to confirm alignment pre-snap (especially with a sideline view.) That is why I think the lack of public scrimmages is a bit silly. I can defend the spring game not being televised much more because they don't want the O being on film AND they want a full Lane for a big recruiting weekend.

Nope, normally if the end crashed inside, he would drive the end inside (and the linebacker would become the option man. In this case, they invite the end to crash unblocked, and then the linebacker has to take on the veer release OT on the back side. As we saw with Motu last year, 1 blocker + a good running QB vs 1 LB is a losing battle for the D.

I cover more of it in the film series Joe will run after spring practice. Fuente made JJ Watt look SILLY with this little scheme twist in the Rose Bowl when he was at TCU.

Ben Emelogu, freshmen team captain in 13-14. I can remember thinking 'this must be rock bottom', when he and JVZ were James Johnson's choice to go to ACC media days.

Did Wood and Barksdale call it quits during Buzz's tenure? Or was that the tail end of Weaver and JJ?

You know, this remark almost struck me as Saban-esque. Never settle. Never be fully happy. I've seen Saban smile when he's been handed NC trophies, and yet he's back in the office the next day getting back to work. Without the whole "sold his soul to the devil" thing, this is really a refreshing mentality. Top football coaches never seem to rest.
