Man IDK, I see Gibbs as a significant step above Haynes. I'm sure Haynes will be fantastic for us, but I'm not sure it's close between the two backs. Will be happy to be proven wrong this year though. Also, you can only point to Gibbs to see a RB will only take this team so far. Key is far...

There weren’t any plays under center. Looked like a lot of outside zone runs as the base play. I know they wanted to keep things simple for spring game but I still hope these aren’t the foundational plays for our offense.

I really hope we don’t do this. I watched Michigan underperform in big games with Harbaugh thinking all they had to do was play bully ball and have it fall apart when they met equally talented teams. Sure they won a championship but only when they were the most talented team (and maybe a weeeee...

I don’t recall which interview, but Key has mentioned talking offensive strategy and general football with CPJ throughout the season. Or maybe it was in CPJs interview after being inducted into the hall of fame.

Fake the screen and throw it over their heads. Should attack the safety in conflict as Narduzzi typically plays corners up in man I believe. That or something off GT counter to penalize what is likely to be aggressive DL and LB play. Quite possibly PA to TE.

This is a legal formation from my understanding. Someone is considered on the line if their helmet crosses the hips of the center. No more than 4 in the backfield. All of these are true on the play. Any confusion is coming entirely from our end with the players, nothing to do with the legality...

Given it's a "Points Added Above Replacement" I'm assuming they're taking the number of points scored by the kicker minus the sum of (avg kick pct each distance a kick was attempted * 3)

Glad someone pointed it out. It hasn’t shown up in the stat sheet, but we’ve absolutely affected the QB more than in years past. It’s important to note that all 3 P4 qbs we’ve played are noted dual threat scramblers so we’ve played a lot of contain rush and coverage and done a MUCH better job at...

You're right on timing and execution of the screen, but I'm not sure a drop back passing play would be any better received by the fanbase on 4th and 2 if it didn't work. Hell, Clemson ran an almost identical play to what you're calling for in the same spot on the field and our dropping defender...

Would you prefer we give up the numbers advantage just because of a principle? I would be more upset if we ran directly into a stacked box with bad numbers on a long 4th and 2. If it's 4th and short and you have the inherent advantages the offense has with that situation, maybe you still run...

I really don't get the continued conversation about screens (especially the 4th and short against Clemson near the goal line). It was 3 blockers + one of our best athletes in space against 3 defenders. Our perimeter blocking has generally been solid. Why wouldn't you take that? It was an...

The implied Vegas score is 37 to 14 or so. I think that matches my intuition with the proposed lines here that we will score more than 34.5 and the total will be well above 46 I think we can play clean and put up a lot of points in this matchup. I think the bigger question is how well do we stop...

Yeah that's as good of a look as you're going to get for taking 7 points early in the game. You have to take that opportunity. Our perimeter blocking has been outstanding to this point as well. Clemson's players were just better at converting speed into power in a couple of instances that we...

I got all 4. Figured it would be a close game. We needed to play clean to win. There was no way we’d rush for 300 on that front so to win we needed a credible passing threat and to consistently execute in that phase. And the only way king missed a play in this game is if he’s dead.

I’m not sure it matters a ton for the less extreme elevation we’re talking here, but general advice for cyclists competing at higher elevation than you train is either arrive many weeks early, or spend the least time at altitude. Your body will start compensating with more blood plasma and...

We've all been there :)

SC kept the ball, the pick stood. Penalty was enforced and SC didn't get the pick 6 and ended up not scoring on the drive.

There's the other part of the analysis which pretty clearly shows our guys winning one on one blocks and driving through the defender when getting tackled. Those things don't go away and will only be emphasized when we play less talented teams. There will certainly be a time when we need to show...

We had nothing to lose here. We were already down one point and didn’t have any timeouts left with a little over 1:30 left in the game. Getting the ball back with time left and the ability to go for 2 was the best way to potentially win the game. Didn’t work out, but there’s not really any other...

That specific series is one of my favorite memories at Tech. It was parent's weekend 2013, my senior year. Only my dad was game enough to brave the storm with me, but he joined us in the student section. As you said, everyone had left, but those few that stayed were just yelling their heads off...
