Things

Talent matters. Trill looked like a vet out there physically and on the double pass where he saw it well in advance. Recruit character, sure, but talent brings poise.

Dante Strickland has been Kelly Bryant’ed. For good reason as serviceable as he has tried to be.

Javedon doesn’t give a flip that he’s a Fr. Neither did #80.

Can’t ask much more of what we have at WR in this game. But Johnson just has to be a target. So damn smooth. And next year with the transfer? Damn this unit is a major upgrade to what we have today.

Our kicking game is top 12 in the country at the very, very least.

I am confused on the OTs. Do they keep switching Koda and Conway? Both had treacherous moments today.

Guthrie was insane. Literally insane. Whitner was a matador.

Dino is training this kids beyond the situation. The weird power calls on O - which we saw against FSU - seem to be commitment moments to a toughness we haven’t had. Hate the calls, respect (my belief at least) that Dino is coaching beyond the specific moment.

Drinking a toast to the one good thing Mark Coyle did in his epic nine months. Hire Dino.

Smiling but not satisfied tonight, but beat Pitt.

 

[BlueShaq]

Agreed. This is only one loss on our record. Regain our focus on pitt and take it by a week-to-week basis from here on out. Let whatever madness in the ACC/national rankings happen. Let's just focus on improving and winning each week, and we'll be in a good position by the end of the season.

“Smiling but not satisfied” is a great line.

not sure that's happened. like all the other games he and moe rotated every 2 series. they each played 6 series. and like the last few games, howard got 2 in between moe and strick.

 

[ForCuseSake]

Just read on the ESPN crawl that BC’s Dillon left the game with an ankle injury.

The schedule continues to shake out in our favor. Fingers crossed Keller is the only big injury from today.

Strick played in the first half? Didn’t really see him until the second half opening series.

But Strick has been downgraded playing time wise..

yes he played in the first half. they rotated as usual. so I don't see how he's been downgraded playing time wise. he and moe play the same number of series each game rotating every two. moe 2-strick2-moe 2-strick 2-moe 2-strick 2...

Moe is certainly getting more touches though.

that's easy to see in the stats. but we use 1 rb sets. so if strick isn't getting the ball, what are we doing? I wont say we have 2 different offenses but when strick is in we pass more and dungey seems to have more designed runs. that's because strick is very good at pass blocking and picking up blitzes and is also very good as a blocker who has sprung dungey several times. today, we had no running game. not even dungey. as a team we averaged 2.3 ypc. Clemson is very good inside.
