And prone ...Addazio is clearly a bad clock manager. And prone to be much too conservative for a bad offensive team. I didn't like the fact that he didn't even try an onside kick--for practice if nothing else-to send a message of not quitting even down 17 with a minute left. <br /><br />His offensive philosophy won't change, that's for sure. BC's time of possession ranks 17th in the country despite being 121st out of 127 in FBS yardage/game. <br /><br />I can't agree that the DBs played a good game. At all. Giving up 420 yards in the air is a total team effort, but those guys were overmatched in one-on-ones and their zone too soft in underneath coverage. Swinney even said in the postgame presser that they should have thrown for 600. Ouch. <br /><br />All the quotable stats and numbers won't dissuade me from buying in to the idea that this team needs to age, get bigger, and maybe one day, get faster. Hell, I've given up on the thought of being faster. Just be good at the few things you do. Being even more physical will be easier to do at 21 and 22 than it is now. <br /><br />The defense is recruiting the future just by being pretty stout. Smith has a nice arm, but can he see over the line? He seems to get smaller every week.

Right now, with a young/inexperienced run-first QB, throwing deep balls is a wasted snap, and in Addazio's offense, wasted snaps are death.<br /><br />One thing I liked from Clemson, was on a 3rd down, they ran a quick slant to Thad for a first down. I would love to see Fitch give Smith quicker/easier throw to build confidence and also get these WR's (that Addazio and Fitch continue to talk about as coming on and being dynamic) the ball in space. Attacking the short to intermediate middle/edges of the field not only give Smith easier throws to complete and allow the WR's to move with the balls in their hands, but also helps loosen the middle of the field for the run game, which with an inexperienced line would make a HUGE difference to run the ball. This line is not good enough yet to run power through a stacked box.<br /><br />Look how much Clemson used shorter/intermediate passes to get their WR's the ball in space and the huge chunk plays they made as a result. Getting WR's involved more often on shorter passing routes is going to create mismatches to take advantage of, but most importantly, as stated above, helps the run game immensely.

I liked the block call, you're a 16 pt underdog why not, but the execution was bad. If the kid could have gotten a piece of the ball that could have helped allot. I think some of the interference calls were bad, but we still made too many crushing penalties. We were good in this dept the last 2 years, but not this year. Probably another sign that the staff is just overwhelmed trying to bring this young squad up to speed.
