Most Important Change In the Pruitt Era...

I agree. I just hope that we have the backs to sustain that kind of pounding for the whole season.

It's a little bit overplayed. I'm not a fan of the shotgun in short yard but the most important change is (at least Pruitts public comments) is after a 59-3 win, good is still not good enough.

I dont know if he ever wins this conference or anything beyond that, but that attitude is why his former boss doesnt have down years.

Dominate all 3 phases of the game. I don't care who the opponent is!

Is no more lining up Shotgun on 1st & Goal!

I’m relieved we’re going back under center giving the RB a chance to pound it in for 6.

If the O-Line improves, we need to play more smash mouth football.

I also really like seeing our coach "discussing" bad plays w/ players when they come off the field. Whether it's ripping them or making coaching comments, it's alot better than seeing a pat on the back side saying "let's gettem' next time". To me, a player will better remember not to let a punt land and roll 20 extra yards if he's challenged coming off the field, than waiting to talk it over in the film room on Monday.

If you watch Calloway's body language he immediately knew he made the wrong decision. That's what you want to see. Experience is the best teacher. He saw he made a mistake because he had been coached to handle it differently, then he got coached about it when he hit the sideline. That's how guys get better.

It's called active coaching and yes it is nice to see, rather than Butt Jones red face rants

One of the things I thought was interesting/refreshing was how Jeremy Banks got his first TD. Tim Jordan lined up for 1st and goal, and tried to break it outside when he had a hole right up the middle and got stopped. He pulled him, put Banks in, and he immediately went right up the gut for the TD.

It's nice to see that sort of coaching and willingness to swap someone out to get the job done.

I agree with the above-stated opinions. On-the-job training and in-the-game coaching are the same practices. Watching not only CJP, but also all the other coaches as they're actively participating in keeping their guys between the ditches is a welcome departure over their predecessors. With this in mind, I'd be shocked if these youngsters don't display marked improvement from one game to the next. I sure hope they've gotten a lot, lot, lot better, though, before September 22nd. GBO!

We looked good when guys like banks ran it straight up the gut. These guys can make those inside scheme blocks it seems. I say stick with it more too. If it works run with it, you know it’s gonna open up some play action stuff and the WR sweep, plus those o-lineman like those smash mouth plays. My hope is that Helton is just gonna use these three games to find our strengths and then come Florida whatever we did well that’s our game plan, + or - a few schemes based off the weaknesses Florida has shown so far. Their run d is the first thing that jumps off the page at me on Florida. Franks takes a lot of hits too !

Unfortunately, running up the middle on SEC defenses will prove to be more difficult than ETSU

Of course, that’s why I said if it works well then run with it. We had success the few times we ran it against WVU, but we never came back to it which was confusing. I still think a kid like chandler may be able to cover up some of our o-line deficiencies better than any of our other backs though. So I’m anxious to see him get back out there and get an extended run to see what he can do this year behind this line.

Only if the Oline can keep defenders out of the backfield like they failed to do against WV and the 1st quarter against ETSU

Not sure how that ball could have been fielded without high risk of turnover. Could it have been caught? I don't be knowing, but it took off when it hit the ground.
