Agreed… the biggest key to slowing down / stopping a dominant Big is to harass ball handlers. Make entry passes and getting to their spots for entry passes difficult with your ball pressure.
No matter how Santi feels, you start Mashack again and tell him and ZZ to make their guards miserable...
I look at Clemson as an ideal arc for us.
They had a strong college QB (Tahj Boyd) who elevated the program. Our equivalent would be Hendon Hooker. Then Deshaun Watson led them into elite category and their top 5 recruiting classes followed. We need Nico to be our Watson.
For a program like...
Let the dust settle and the roster get set before commencing a freak out. This will likely amount to a bunch of nothing once all moves are made.
With the portal, more than ever, you gotta resist the temptation of living and dying with every recruit.
I’ve felt this for years.
Barnes is our coach. I dont want a different coach.
I love him.
But I think his recruiting profile values athleticism + length over offensive skill. I think it’s just the way he recruits.
Some years you have bad luck.
I don’t think this is “Butch getting sideways with the S&C staff and hiring a HS coach” issue.
This is simply a bad luck year with attrition.
I do think it has had a bigger impact on the season than the fan base has considered.
It hasn’t been talked much, but...
Gonna be us today.
I felt from the beginning of the year we would lose one of Kentucky / USCe / Missouri.
I also felt all year we would lose to Bama.
I also have felt all season we will beat UGA
They are due a loss.
Neyland.
We play our one “out of our minds” game for the season.
(The only...
I expect Joe to be the QB through the bowl game.
✅ The guy has been a model citizen.
✅ He has done everything they asked.
✅ He got injured and lost the job to Hendon and instead of bolting, he sat for basically two seasons waiting his turn.
✅ The locker room seems to love him.
I think if...
Heupel basically said at halftime and in post-game that Missouri surprised them with their “defensive structure”. I’ve noticed the 3 teams who have handled our run game played 3 down linemen, all between the tackles, with one over the center.
Plug up our run game between the tackles and we are...
I don’t think it matters.
Our boys will play inspired.
Our crowd will be an insane asylum.
Georgia is due a loss.
We are beating the dawgs.
Write it down.
THIS… send 5+ in passing situations and even on first down a couple times (because they are throwing on first when we have our bigger DL in). Gotta speed things up for Leary.
