All he did was inspire his players and let them play without fear, etc. Back-ups and 4th stringers played a prominent role.<br /><br />Addazio does just the opposite. Once he keys in on "his guys", many very good players on the roster do not get to see the field - or at least not very often. Those who do get to play are subject to getting yelled at and screamed at in public if they make a mistake. They are too choreographed and therefore they play tight.<br /><br />So Head Coach Addazio - do you want to keep your job? Great, then let's play college football. You give the players the basic framework and game plan - AND LET THEM PLAY. I guarantee you if they could call their own plays they would be a lot different than what you and Loeffler call.<br /><br />In the Boston slang vernacular - "Cut the shit" and let them play.<br /><br />Go BC - bust Clemson's bubble on a Friday night of a long weekend with the Red Sox playing a playoff game down the street. Get some glow from Big Papi and company and swing for the fence. <br /><br />Players - please know that we are with you and wish you had some more inspiring leadership.<br /><br />Coach Addazio, if you come out against Clemson with the RRPP approach and philosophy, you are an idiot, sir.<br /><br />We beat USC two years ago because our OLine was much better, led by Patchan, and QB Grad Student Tyler Murphy - a fantastic college football player. USC couldn't tee off at the line of scrimmage.<br /><br />Towles is not Murphy, unfortunately, and Clemson will be in his grill all night. Teams can load the box on you and there's no answer from your OC - at least until this point. Open up the playbook. Show us plays we haven't seen, for crying out loud.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-69567351644074661652016-10-03T19:24:39.328-04:002016-10-03T19:24:39.328-04:00We're probably gonna get killed unless these p...We're probably gonna get killed unless these players resign themselves to playing out of their minds. And that is possible but highly improbable. <br /><br />FYI - ran into a non revenue team at the airport and chatted with them briefly. Nice kids but it was sad to hear their quiet sense of embarrassment around the football program. This constant losing is extremely tough on our students and the pride they want to show in their school. The adults in charge of the programs (incl basketball) have really ruined a nice part of the college experience for so many of our kids. This has to change.

Is a pass rush on scholarship? If any of you watched what Clemson's defense did to GT...it was impressive. Going to have to be creative on offense and lucky on defense. <br /><br />It's been an interesting sidenote wrt the SEC and QB play in recent seasons. Guess it doesn't stop them from winning titles. In my warped mind, that counts as dominance to me. <br /><br />I'm adopting the BJK attitude on this one. With absolutely no expectations except the obvious, let's get a good gameplan.

I think ...True... gonna get ugly Friday night....<br /><br />I think comparing BC to Oregon is like comparing a Bald Eagle to a Duck. I admire and am inspired by the majestic Bald Eagle. I eat ducks.<br /><br />7-10 points. maybe a pic 6?<br /><br />So as to Clemson - can we run up the middle? no. Can we run to the edge? no. Can we beat them long? no. Has BC executed a decent screen all year? not that I recall. Short passing game? Can Towles thread the needle for the short ball? Not so far but he did complete a wheel route a couple times<br /><br />Maybe we can use punting as weapon and "pin them deep" ? nope.<br /><br />maybe our defense can stick it too them? Hmm.. well we did give up 476 yards to VT.<br /><br />Ok, well maybe out head coach has some tricks and can out smart them.... hmmm that can't happen. HC is a dumb bunny.<br /><br />So what are we left with Clemson being Clemson. Except they don't do that anymore....<br /><br />In conclusion, Daz should run the ball for 2 reasons: 1) run out the clock 2) signal to Clemson that we suck and to not run up the score..mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-4102927742701874442016-10-03T14:25:28.890-04:002016-10-03T14:25:28.890-04:00Mod,

Want to add that prior to the start of the game EEI aired a recorded interview with Spaddazio that I listened to which was a confused mess of words and he basically said nothing. So when the sideline and the team looks confused it's just an extension of what is actually going on. But there is no point going on this track complaining about the obvious, we have beaten this horse to a pulp. Now the discussion needs to be why this entire athletic program is acceptable to anyone in charge. In the real world we would all be unemployed if these were our results. You don't have any "customers" no one is interested in your product, and there is nothing on the horizon suggesting that anything will be different any time soon.
