Per espn...3.5 per rush attempt and 7.5 per pass attempt. What that doesn't say is we got to second and 4 or less by passing on first down when they expected the run. What do you think we would've been capable of on 2nd and 4 or less when they certainly expected the rin even more and we did...

We had the guys to beat Duke. We never punted. We were getting 6 or 8 yards thru the air on first down all night but late in the game switched to the run game and got stuffed. Our play calling changes to runs in the 4th quarter. Got burned on a fake punt in 4th n 4.. Gotta be ready. Thats...

Ill be happy if I never see another wildcat again. Now, if you want to put in a dual threat running type qb fine. The pass was working much better than the run and the play calling after multiple good first down pass plays really is frustrating. Just gave up on what was working. It made no since

Houser is not why we lost. Our play calling after successful 1st down passes was a joke. Wildcat? Really? Running the ball is what Duke wanted us to do and it bit us in the rear.

We would pass on first down and get 7 to 9 yards and then run it 2x and have to pass on 4th down. N then after the game the Athletic Dept does not have the shuttle drop offs n pick n ups labeled this year, two weeks now i ask drivers and they dont do whatbthey said and that's a cluster this...

Offense was solid. Defense, they were in position to make tackles and didn't, and when they did it seemed everyone besides Bailey gave up too many extra yards after contact. Brett will have them busy working on this. If they can clean this up and make tackles when in position it can improve...

Yep, kinda why i was hoping for a guy like Ben or Georgi B instead of another 3 but hopefully Mirk heals and one of the 6'7" guys has an inner Kenny Norman and can battle at the 4 if needed.

It is going to interesting to see who plays and how much in close games. I know we talk about the 8th or even 9th man but i just dont know how much that happens unless its a blow out. In a close game it will likely be 1, Vaaks/Coleman 2 Coleman/? 10 min, 3 Andre/Jake/ maybe a couple for others...

For me what guys are ranked doesnt indicate where we may be thin. We are very deep at the 2/3 and guys are ranked and skilled. Were we lack depth and size with the scare of Mirk's foot is at the 4. We dont have anyone like Ben or 75% of Mirk on this roster. We have Z and a bunch if 6'6"-7"...

In tight games our rotation will tighten up. Its likely to be 7 or 8 guys and when Tomi sits it will likely be Z for those 10 to 15 minutes and when Mirk sits it will be a lot of Z too. Z will play the 6th most minutes would be my guess, then Jake. Thats plenty to have an impact defensively at...

I love that the staff can identify talented players that are not listed as 5 star guys or even top 4 star guys when we get in on them but then may become them or shouldve been. I mean KJ was a one n done too. How many were after KJ or Mirk? We also were in early on Kitt and now he has shot up...

Well this sucks. The one guy with size to match up with guys that can bang in the post at the 4. It was of little concern to many and now its a major one until he heals up. Jason may be in the rotation now to try and defend those larger guys while Mirk heals. Get well fast Mirk.

Personally I think Mirk is our most important player, has a massive impact, and a guy we need to stay healthy. But, with that said i really think the guy i expect the most improvement from last year are Tomi and the incoming freshman Coleman. The floors of Vaaks, Dre and Z are pretty high and...

I highly doubt Morillo will ever play PG for us. Nor do i forsee him ever in that role. When its not Vaaks, we will flow through our vets like Mirk, Tomi and then maybe Coleman. I would bet there will be a lot of Vaaks and Mirk running thunga chasing miss matches.

One thing i recall about Hummel doing or commenting on our team last season. He was alway questioning or calling on BU to feed T with his crazy success he had in the post. I tend to agree until they double him. He was really good and over 70% is insane.
