Now there's this Saturday's T-shirt. "Ravage the Savage", lol.
Shoot, this was supposed to be a reply instead of an original post...don't see a delete button though, just edit.
yep. Still not enough.
But what have a done to warrant a win prediction? Barely score against ECU? Need 3 OTs to beat Marshall? We haven't done anything to earn those predictions yet.
They have the SEC all time passing leader and a monster OL. Any RB should be able to run behind them
But they think they are the mole on Cindy Crawford's face.
(she's an early 90's super model with a beauty spot for those on her who weren't born yet when she was famous...)
And I notice in French's analysis that JC is in there on the deep out completion on first down. JC is seen as bad in pass protection, so UNC expects run based on formation and personnel. Loeffler is using their preparation to fool defenses, just like he did in the run game against Alabama.
The beauty of this complexity is when the QB understands all these formations and their counters, and can switch the play pre (and even post) snap based on his reads. Then we're in for a real treat.
Yeah but that FL team is suspect. They have a great D like us but the offense at the time Miami beat them couldn't find the EZ if they wanted to. Other than that, they have proved nothing by beating FAU, Savannah ST, and clawing back to beat GT.
The "vision" that everybody talks about for tailbacks has little to do with eyes and more to do with setting up blocks and making the correct reads, just like a QB read. When things are moving quickly and they're concentrating on securing the ball, sometimes the tailback makes a bad read. The more time spent running a scheme, the better "vision" a RB is going to have. I have faith that this will get corrected as the season goes on. You can see how much work the offense has put in, and its really starting to pay off.
How hasn't this been put in the thread yet?
UVA is a pimple on the ass of college football
Damone Boone is also Da'Shawn Hand's cousin
The advantage we have is that Savage is a pocket passer. Bud will rain the blitzes down and the wrath of Tyler, Edwards, Gayle, Collins, #MANBEARPIG, et al will be felt. Dare I say that we will ravage the Savage?
Great post- extremely informative as always. In addition to the lack of patience you noted with respect to the backs, I thought, on a few plays, I've noticed Edmunds giving a slight hesitation before hitting interior holes (wherein the hole begins to close). I think this can also be chalked up to inexperience- the game is perhaps moving just a bit too fast for him so far (i.e. a hell of alot faster than in highschool games). With the inexperience of our backs in mind, any thought to simplifying the running game just slightly, or do you think it's better to stay the course and continue to coach them up? Also, how was the fishing?
Mind you that because of injury, UGA had to use their 3rd and 4th-string RBs, as well as 2nd- and 3rd-string WRs, to beat Tennessee. But that's about the only defense I'll put up.
The rest of AA's points I have no problems with.
That Yeldon guy would have something to say about how the defense can do with stopping an explosive RB. Take Yeldon 10x over what BC has.
Not sure...
Does that mean, Throw the ball?
True but the last part said it all. When the SEC has won so many Nat'l Championships in a row, it's very hard to argue against them.
"The talent level on offense isn't anywhere close to as talented as the 2011 team."
That's a very telling comment French. I hope that with player development and recruiting that we see the talent level improve in 2014 and beyond. It is very comforting to know that at least at the coaching positions, a major talent upgrade has already occurred.
+1 for the glorious mashup
Rogers would be my first choice. Cline isn't beating out Drager.
Indeed "rivalry".
The defense has carried this team the first half of the season. The offense appears to be finding their footing and if they can keep it going, this team will be a tough matchup for anyone at the end of the year.
The kicking game and return game has got to improve. They have by far been our biggest issues. I believe it was French who said one or both of those things may hurt us in a key moment somewhere down the line.
We are halfway there guys. We're on top of the Coastal and LOLUVA is at the bottom and still may find a way to fall further. I'd say things are back to how they should be around here for the moment.
Also, to go along with what somebody else has already mentioned, shout out to the rest of the ACC for making our conference not look like the Big East v.2 this year. We have 2 legitimate national title contenders (hopes I hope to dash in Charlotte but still....) and many other teams are playing well.
I couldn't be happier with how this season has started. Any time I'm getting onto this site drunk and with no filter after a big win isn't a bad thing......is it?
Wow... I never really thought about it like that. Its also a depressing shocker. Similar to a question asked right before the Alabama game "who from Tech would start on Bama?"
Here's a shot at it though;
I think Trey would replace Josh Oglesby (still not a starter)
Kalvin Cline (maybe?)
Sam Rogers (maybe?)
Still down here but this offshore low pressure system has us in 30 mph NE winds and 7 foot waves. 10 ounces of weight isn't holding. Around 11 or 12 red drum (40-50 inch fish) were landed on Sunday-Tuesday but I did not get any runs. When the water was fishable, I caught a decent number of bluefish, spot, and a mixed bag of tiny croakers, gray trout, and sand perch.
