no jinxes!
What part of LSU's season has you convinced they are #3?!?!?
They have played a handful of nobodies and won two close games against middling teams.
LSU should be top 10, but there's no good argument for them being #3.
That LSU/UGA game was an absolute cripple fight. UGA was WAAAYYY over rated, and they're about as good as LSU is. Good, but far from a great team.
I do appreciate you not ranking BC. I have much respect and fear of the Coulter-Kos award.
One thing about college football, we are at that point of the season where some of September's stars begin to fade and other teams, especially the young teams that start to gel (sound familiar), get on a roll. It will be interesting to see which teams drop and which teams hit a streak as we near the half-way point.
As far as BC, yes we are 4-1, but we really have not played a high-caliber team yet. By the end of the month, we will know if BC is an Atlantic contender or merely a mediocre team fighting for a bowl spot.
Not like this really means anything, but Ivan Maisel chose BC as the best team in college football that nobody is talking about on his podcast.
If Maisel is talking us up, that only can mean bad things for BC's future. Every year, that guy completely ignores us, and we do fine. He is a mush.
Has anyone found our pass rush yet? I've looked everywhere.
Our coaches need to readjust their view of the pass rush we've been putting up each week, plain and simple. Keuchly & Albright seem to have the speed and pop off the ball that could become a big threat--and ATL's point about the corner blitz is pure gold. My optimistic side tells me that incrementally BC is improving in big ways--but "the TOB school of inverse intercourse," where we stop playing to win and run it twelve straight plays off tackle and play soft coverage defense in a prevent scheme--that just can't happen again EVER.
Then there's the kicking game...how we can continue to give good teams great field position after punts or kick-offs just fries my mind. Can't Quigly just pound it into the endzone off the tee, or give his punts some air? How many times did Clemson, Wake and FSU start with a field that was 60 oards long or less? Hello? Sid Viscious hasn't had to hit a long punt yet...but that moment will come--maybe this weekend, and I'm already wondering what we have to look forward to there...(pray amongst yourselves)
There's lots to be happy about--no doubt--but lots to learn and adjust to as well, as we get into the teeth of the schedule...Thanks for all your insights, ATL. Go Eagles! Let's shock the Hokies!
The only thing the "prevent" defense seems to prevent is punts.
