Don't forget about the post-Boat and Ho abortion. Gotta fit that into the budget.

It was a rhetorical question bud. And I wouldn't really say the supporting cast has been inconsistent; more just lacking in either talent or work ethic. I seriously can't understand how people don't find him to be a streaky player, though. One look at his stats will tell you that. It hasn't even really mattered who he's played either as some of his worst performances have come against some of the weakest defenses.

Do it. Maurice DeShazo agrees.

I bet that not only does Foster not lose it on the O coaches. I bet he helps where he can such as give analysis of other teams defenses and diagram how a competent defense would line up against offensive lineups.

Obviously a star running back would be nice, but I'd like a WR who could go up and get jump balls. Someone with the body of Marcus Davis who gives the effort of Cody Grimm. Loeffler would have a field day with a receiver who demands double coverage. Think about all the match ups he could come up with.

French, this question is more a philosophy question than pertaining to Duke exactly. It seems to me that we have pretty good personal to run a spread - run/option offense. That can be a yard eating, hard pounding, running offense in the mold of Urban Meyer's Tim Tebow offense, which if you think about it is exactly the type of quarterback LT is. So, my question is, why is Frank so against this? We seem to get athletes instead of quarterbacks, so what gives?

I hate to say it, but I can't help but think the whole Penn State thing really distracted the NCAA from Miami (and rightly so) but that's probably the real reason they 'dropped the ball' in the Miami case.

1) Tackle in space, stop the run. Get pressure and man coverage. Bud Foster does better against it than most teams.

2) I honestly think that the spread is going to be bad for late adopters. Everybody is getting smaller and faster defensively, and with the exception of Oregon and Baylor, it appears that teams are getting better defending it. I have said many times that if a team in the Southeast can perfect Stanford's attention to detail and power system and recruit to it, they will be dominant because they will present such a matchup problem for all these teams that have gone small. As for quarterback play, the spread actually simplifies things for quarterbacks. The offense is much easier for passing reads versus a timing West Coast style offense that all college teams tried to adopt back in the 90's.

3. Don't. I don't like the spread. MASH.

I would like to make it perfectly clear that I have no idea who this guy is and in no way have asked/given monetary or other incentives for him to post nice things about me.

That said, I appreciate it. Warm fuzzies all around.

good point on Stiney. He's one hell of a character. Not much of a coordinator, but I respect him a hell of a lot for taking the demotion in stride and sticking by the side of Beamer. A true man indeed.

Does the QB play in the SEC add 10 points...Did they engineer a last minute drive to beat Kentucky and keep there team ranked? add 10 points.
