13-3 after 3. We showed some life last drive. Need to show more.

Raih wants to throw deep too much.

On that drive everything worked except pocket passes

So why after moving to their 30 do we pocket pass? We give it up on downs. Third quarter almost over.

A misdirection for 14 yards.

TD next play. Called back.

But point is: misdirection sets it up.

13-3 ETSU after a 6 minute drive to open the second half.

Time to produce on offense.

But then we went back to long routes - and failed. Scary Comparison to old staff adjusting too late - and then when the adjustment works, going back to what they wanted to do before. I hope we alter the ineffective offensive game plan at half. It will be interesting to see if we adjust or refuse to ...

Ok.Here is an adjustment: a lot quicker routes. Shorter drops.

It is working “better.”

Need to close the half with a positive.

10-3.

2-8 on third down. 3 and out for Seals.

Why won’t we throw to a back?

Important not to panic -a la Temple.

Also important to do what will work - not keep running middle, pocket passing. A little variety very much needed.

ETSU is coming strong. Misdirection would counter that. Nothing to take advantage of their aggressiveness.

Wow. ETSU 7. Vandy 3.

3rd and 14 breakdown allows a 17 yard run.

Then they score on 3rd and 5.

No pressure on their qb. Pitch and catch.

Pocket passing is still not a strength and we still seem determined to do it. Wright may have hurt his arm on a sack.

It is concerning that ETSU is getting so much pressure.

Again, a screen or wheel route should work.

Wright in on this drive. Nice first throw and run.

End of quarter: 3-0.

Not being critical of Seals - but Wright’s speed may prevent ETSU from blitzing so much. That may help our O get straightened out…

Nice 4th down stop. Hopefully give us some momentum.

We are doing some things I like. But we are not trying misdirection or a screen. Both would work. Special teams - lovely 53 yard field goal and punt to the 1. Negative, our punt team is letting ETSU gunners blow by them. Our rbs look good. But we are focusing on up the middle. Arguably you should be...

1) Vandy 44. ETSU. 17

2) Bama 34. Miami. 23

3). Georgia. 31. Clem. 37

4) LSU. 33. UCLA. 38

5) South Dakota over Kansas

Texas is on upset alert. I wouldn't be shocked to see ND go down at FSU either.

1) 4 games.

2) Alabama-Georgia

3) Corral. To'o To'o

4) Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma

5) Rattler

I am sorry for them. Happy we get to keep them another year. The CWS really seems to have hurt Keegan and Thomas' stock. Both swung for the fences down the stretch and their averages dipped. There was some uncharacteristic fielding mixed in, too. The whole team needs to adjust to contact after strik...

People are really sleeping on Thomas. I thought he was really good. And I thought he had good chemistry on the court with Pippen. I also think in CJS's perfect world, he wants to play a swarming defense with lots of fast guards who can put pressure on opponents and get into transition. I think with ...

Yay!!!!

Very good news!!
