This is a bad team right now

This is a good team right now

 

[JeffCuse]

123 in rush offense

123 in sacks allowed

122 in total defense

104 in rush defense

120 in pass defense

106 in scoring defense

It’s 2016 again.

You forgot passing offense.

We just went out and almost dominated Clemson who was ranked top 4 prior to the year starting

I think we may have to come to terms with the truth that we're a battered fanbase, and some of us see any ray of sunshine as threatening as they have become more comfortable with assuming we're bad.

I wonder if we will try a true trick play against Clemson early to see if we can take the crowd out of the game.

DING DING DING DING!!!! BRASS BALLS

 

[Orangefan1]

In watching Collins briefly I just worry about his accuracy and feel for the game. It’s going to be interesting vs Duke

I am FASCINATED to see the Duke point spread tomorrow.

Re: Rickie

I think, as time goes on and he gets repeated snaps with the 1's, his confidence and feel for the live game will improve. Will he be as good as Angeli? I don't know. But I think he will improve as we move forward.

Of course. Just like Steve

Here’s what we learned today…we can go man outside and win the 1v1 and get a lot of pressure. Be gone zone!

My guess is SU -6.5

Spot on

Well, he's going to get 90% of the reps this week. That should help restore some timing with his receivers. He was the starter for all of Spring ball, after all.

I’m looking forward to Go’s next post where we see how the team has improved, by the numbers.

I can't help but look back on when Fran mentioned "loser mentality."

It’s still going. The entire team looked the best they have all year and I’m going to be reading about how we’re going to struggle to win 3 more games with Angeli out.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

It's not what they can't do, it's what they won't be called upon to do if the strategy is to sit back and let Klubnick get into a rhythm. That seems to be how ERob rolls.

Plz plz plz prove me wrong, staff!

They proved me wrong!

 

[KaiserUEO]

I haven't forgotten anything, and I know people close to the Clemson program. If they don't come out with their hair on fire, I'll be shocked.

Stick to the hidden board!

And Fran couldn’t wait to replace him.

This will be interesting, Angeli could’ve got the Saltine Warriors to 8 wins.

 

[GoSU96]

That may have been the single best half of offense since Louisville 2012. The OL, playcalling, and execution were spectacular.

 

[GoSU96]

You forgot passing offense.

I didn’t, but you can’t win against good just throwing the ball and sucking everywhere else, that was the point.

Yesterday did not look like the three games prior.

I do t think Collins is the answer. I was told he just isn’t that good. I hope I’m wrong. I’m expecting to see Carney soon

What Angeli did down the stretch against UConn, granted it’s UConn that lost to Delaware this past week, was pretty warrior of him. Yes we had a lot of great playmakers last season. Guess what, we have several new playmakers on this roster that can match or even be better than their predecessors. I’m tired of hearing about the talent deficiencies. I think overall, we are more talented (Doesn’t always mean better results). We have experience deficiencies. We don’t know when or if it will click this season. But if it does click, I think we are even more dangerous this season than last season. Regarding record, I truly look at this week by week. I came into this season seeing a very low floor and very high ceiling. I didn’t see the very low floor going into last season. Those two possibilities are still on the table. We were playing playoff level football in the last 4 games including the bowl game last season. We got better and more balanced overall by the end of last season. Why can’t this happen this season. Remember, this years team came together much later (literally) than last years team.

Bump from right before it all collapsed this season. Interesting in that I feel like we saw the very high ceiling that was possible during the Clemson game as well as the very low floor of the last few weeks.
