I was at the game.<br /><br />Then Clemson made some adjustments schemewise and attitude wise and the running game did not look the same. <br /><br />We can run OK when Sinkovic is there to lead the back to the opening. Otherwise the running backs have trouble finding the hole and when they do especially in Andre Williams case the running backs to NOT run to daylight- they run into contact. Frustrating.<br /><br />If Rettig makes it through the next two yeara he will be a first round pick, late buzz type of guy like the Miami Dolphins QB.<br /><br />He poised and has serious fortitue. He literally got his ass kicked last season and wa absolutely destroyed late in the Clemson game. The tigers did not like the fourth q TD to Amidon in the corner of the endzone.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-56755782505137320452012-10-01T21:48:38.672-04:002012-10-01T21:48:38.672-04:00So how bad is the defense.

Try some different things on defense.<br /><br />Let the young dogs out.<br /><br />Go for it.

I think part of your generosity may be how low the expectations have been set for the group. The DL never makes plays. They have been manhandled in every game except Maine.<br /><br />I wonder if we will see any Harris Williams, thought he looked good late last year. Any word on his status? I know he was hurt.Laxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13095715892058832827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-18530044038893424822012-10-01T08:39:59.285-04:002012-10-01T08:39:59.285-04:00Let me start with whoever the next coach is, he...Let me start with whoever the next coach is, he's going to have a hell of a QB on his hands. <br /><br />Big believer in the OL makes much of the RB production. The OL run blocking wise has been absolutely terrible. There are plays when there are 4 men in the backfield when our RBs get the pitch/handoff.<br /><br />Oh the defense...<br />Over 500 yards allowed and Clemson was missing their best player.<br /><br />There is absolutely zero pressure. Against D1 teams we're getting 1 sack for every 41+ attempts. We're also allowing over 230 yards per game on the ground.<br /><br />Looking forward to heading to West Point, pretty close to a sell out with a lot of BC fans making the trip.<br /><br />8 more games of Spaz<br /><br />12 more days till hockey.Claver2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/15415082560035841418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-12585371267728610492012-10-01T01:23:17.996-04:002012-10-01T01:23:17.996-04:00i agree that this team will steal a win or two dow...i agree that this team will steal a win or two down the stretch so long as the players don't give up. our passing O is dangerous and rettig is the best thing going on offense in a long time -- on pace for 3876 yards and a 27:9 TD:int ratio. the D has got to get better it can't get any worse.<br /><br />Noel has been sub-par as a senior -- biggest of the senior let downs has gotta be larmond, who hardly even plays.<br /><br />i've been really surprised with the subpar RB play -- coming into the season i thought that would be a strength but kimble, finch, and williams have all been disappointing.<br /><br />happy that the D is finally going with 3 DL -- with the talent level so low, we really need to do everything to get the best players on the field -- if its duggan, clancy, KPL, and other LBs, then get em on the field even if its unconventional. more blitzes also -- the D line is yet again incapable of generating any pressure.<br /><br />lets beat army and go in with a gameplan to beat FSU -- unconventional D looks, lots of passing, an onside kick maybe; still plenty of games left to maximize the good and try to hide the bad.EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.com
