  2. We played very poorly, but it wasn't McCloud that lost us that game. We did improve on offense, but you have to wonder how much of that was ECU leaving guys downfield uncovered while blitzing. Temple is going to play more balanced defense and take away some of those throws. I guess we'll find out soon enough if this performance was improvement or fluke. Very hard to tell right now imho.
  3. Against my better judgement, I'm getting a little hype. Like... 2005 pre-season hype. Not thinking we're gonna run the table or anything, but that this team might just surprise some people. Someone throw some cold water on me.
  4. Count me as one of the folks who is slightly disappointing at not getting to see more passing. That said, I did see a couple bright things about the passing game: First and foremost, our coach decided against airing it out against our week 1 opponent when the field was soaking wet and the running game was working. In my book, that is an intelligent coaching decision. I saw some good catches that I feel are drops in years past. Dukes's TD catch was a great play, and Miller made a very nice catch in the 1st quarter. Completion rate is high, just not a lot of attempts, and not a lot of YAC. Lack of procedural errors. In years past... a new coach, a new offensive system, o-line starters out... it's a sea of yellow every drive for stupid procedural mistakes. Barely any of that in this game. Super impressed with how disciplined they had this crew -- despite missing 3 players on the o-line (and I'm assuming missing our actual starting QB as well). I do hope that we get Cade and the o-line back for the Irish game.
  5. Cincy 51-14 cronk wilcox 325 I have already started drinking. This game can't hurt me if I'm blackout drunk during the entire event!
  6. I think culture matters a lot as to whether or not a team will "run through a brick wall" and give the effort, day in and day out, to actually learn how to execute the plays reliably. FWIW, the players are not going to run through a brick wall for Strong or for BJM. Kerwin Bell and Kade Bell are great additions to this team, and I believe they have a passion and love of the game (and players) that has been sorely missed since Taggart left the program. Strong is not a players' coach... he's a disciplinarian, authoritarian "my way or the highway" type. Taggart was the exact opposite. He was forgiving, understanding, and got on the players' level and was a friend, mentor, and a coach. The Bells are the same way, and although they are a much needed presence for this team -- it's not enough to overcome the sheer emotional ineptitude of Strong, BJM, and some other staff. I don't see this team digging itself out of this hole as long as Strong is still the decision maker, unfortunately.
