  1. SEC tiebreaker rankings are so weird https://bball.notnothing.net/bracket_cloud.php?conf=secfb Wonder how a CCG loss would play out for playoff rankings, to sit at 10-3. Only chances to make the CCG is for Aggy to lose to South Carolina (and us), or Ole Miss drop 1 game. Bama could lose two games and we'd still be left out unless Aggy or Ole Miss drop another somewhere. There's scenarios where we could play any one of those 3 teams in the CCG. Would have to think wins vs Georgia and Aggy would mean something.
  2. At some point, Georgia is going to line up tight on outsides and try to stop the quick WR screens. We need to hit them up the seams. Our O-Line was constantly disrupted in their blocking schemes by athletic defensive linemen that beat our guys to their zone blocking spots. Kirby knows this and will try to get pressure with just 4-5 guys early. It's going to come down to our 5 vs their 4.
  3. Not to bang a dead horse, I didn't mind 12 personnel in 2023, when the WR depth wasn't as good as it was in 2024 or this year. Outside of the Worthy/JWhitt/AD Mitchell trio, the WR room was young. Sanders and Helm wasn't a bad combo to run 12 personnel in, it worked well with Sanders. But it made no sense last year and makes even less sense this year. My buddy made a comment about the Greg Davis style quick WR screens, but you can do that with 11 personnel when you give our WR's the space, and 1-on-1 matchups, like the first play to Wingo. It also helps slow the pass rush. Don't always need to rely on two tight-ends to slow the rush.
  4. The sheer number of times Sark rolled Juan Davis out last season, just to run 12 personnel made me want to throw a brick at my TV. It works if you have depth and can create mismatches in the pass game. Juan Davis could neither block nor beat anyone on a route. The 2025 roster has more potential at TE but the experience and physical maturity isn't there either to run 12 personnel. The only reason I can see running it is for extra blocking.
  5. How far north do you need to bring salt trucks down from? Nebraska? Missouri? There's a metric f-ton of road infrastructure in that area, not just around the stadium, but within a few miles. That's a lot of salt. Here in Chicago, they keep dedicated salt storage buildings EVERYWHERE to handle that kind of coverage. Jerry would have to fly in several C-17's with that kind of salt and trucks, lol
  6. Alex January, Aaron Bryant and Sydir Mitchel remain, with 2 recruits coming in (Sharma/Charles). Gonna need some portal help
  7. man I haven't played NCAAF since 2007ish, playing the 2005 version. a lot has changed. my old brain is having a hard time catching up.
  8. Because he reclassified to 2021, how does that affect his NFL draft eligibility? Does he only have to be here 2 years now? or is it a full 3 years?
  9. I'd love that guy's cell phone video to be posted
  10. ball game, kstate, lulz
  11. Has anyone been to Morgontown? Me and two old roommates are trekking up to Morgontown for this game, and the stadium seems pretty small, that the upper deck and even the visitor section (98-100?) aren't terrible seats, compared to DKR. We're starting to look for tickets as well.
  12. oh that looks like a good read, i'll check it out. 👍
  13. When it comes to the run game (defending against it), it's all about gap control and what technique your down linemen are using. Which gap are they covering, how're they trying to plug the particular run gaps, etc. If you don't play within the system your coordinator sets up, and you try to make the big play on your own (thus exposing your linebackers to a free o-lineman), a back can make a cut, run up a seam that opens up all of a sudden, and boom, you've just given up an easy 5-6 (or more) yards. I've never been a fan of 3-4, 3-3-5 or similar alignments, and asking a college kid to stay within the system vs making the big play is a big ask. I'd always prefer to put 4 down linemen on the defensive front, but again, i realize we're thin at defensive tackle. that could be a reason we go with that style defense.
  14. I'm hoping the defense is stout, but i swear to god, the 3 down alignment of Orlando's, with that roving 4th guy gives me anxiety every damn snap. I know a lot of that is predicated by the personnel we have on campus, but ... ugh, lol.
