Clemson opens -16.5 over Cuse…..

[FloridaCuse]

A homer for who?

The home team. On whatever game he's broadcasting. Listen to how much more he gets excited when the home team scores.

I guess I'm struggling to understand what you think would motivate a broadcaster of a televised game to be a "homer" on every game. This must really annoy Jet fans when they are on the road.

I think it annoys fans of all road teams when announcers do that. I have noticed there are others that do it also. Maybe more with college games. I haven't noticed it much in broadcasts of NFL games. Those are usually the better announcers. I've wondered why it happens. Maybe the announcer gets caught up with the cheering of the home crowd. I'm not sure it's always done consciously. I did notice in the Syracuse-Tennessee game that Wischusen seemed more exitable when Tennessee had a positive play.

In fairness to Wischusen, Tennessee was executing very exciting plays.

IDK. I think sometimes there is confirmation bias at play - we "hear" what we are expecting to hear. I'll bet if you polled Vols fans you would find more than a few who felt Bob W - the Newark, NJ guy and voice of a NYS team - was pulling too hard for SU to make a comeback.

Occam's razor - He's just doing his job.

The spread has dropped from 17.5 back down to 16.5. Total is 55.5.

I’m sure that has something to do with the fact that Dale Williams has no clue how to coach pass pro.

Is this us assuming Clemson is a man?

in the box then don't ya know ?

 

[upperdeck]

so 133 drop backs and 8 sacks. And how many hits on top of that.

 

[steve deberg]

Klubnik isn’t gonna know what hit him when Robinson blitzes him 3% of the time.

(It actually does seem like he’s turned up the pressure a bit since Tennessee. Hope he keeps turning the dial that direction).

It's timestamped but who knows if that'll work. Nice short mention of the Syracuse Clemson game starts at 3:40

This clearly says two things:

(1) we have to protect better - everyone sees it on tape that we are vulnerable; and

(2) we have to run the ball better, so they can't put us in passing situations and bring the house.

I’m also inferring from this that we need to blitz more.

Klubnik was better last year, and was blitzed less last year.

More Blitzy = Less Passy for Klubber.

Robinson better dial it up.

I’m worried that the increased aggression during Colgate was Robinson feeling confident that our dbs could cover Colgates(!) wide receivers and that he’ll revert to playing super soft and rushing 3.
