Last year was the absolute nadir for me as a UM fan. The worst season under fat Al was still better than last year. I had season tickets through Golden’s entire tenure and the only game I ever walked out of at halftime was Clemson. Last year I left almost every game early.

He had one season at Kentucky, under a coach who purposely wants a slow, run based offense, with a team full of garbage. He did go to Southern Miss for three years after that and had really good offenses in two out of the three years. So it’s not like he’s done nothing at all without Holgerson.

I still think they let Tyler sling it 35-40 times a game this year. The difference is we’ll be able to run the ball in the red zone more effectively now.

We literally hired the best G5 coordinators in the country

I don’t think a lot of people realize exactly what TVD did in 2021 and how rare that is. Especially when the guy who does it wasn’t even the starter until the fourth game of the year

There’s a ton more talent on this offense than there was in 2021. That team had zero run blocking and one scholarship running back for half a season. They needed Tyler to go off in order to even have a shot to win games. This year, we need Tyler to be great but he doesn’t have to do it all. The...

We had similar discussions about Rhett Lashlee, a guy who had spent 90% of his career under Gus Malzahn and 5% under Sonny Dykes. His only stop without either of those guys was two seasons at UCONN. Guys have to start on their own at some point even though they'll likely be doing a lot of the...

Yup. Marshall's defense was elite or near elite in almost every defensive category last year. Only one team on their schedule averaged over 4 yards per carry or more against them. Notre Dame averaged 190 yards rushing per game last year at 4.6 yards per carry. Against Marshall they had 130...

These were the top defenses in FBS against the rush last year. I used yards per carry as the metric since that rules out teams that play purposely slow on offense in order to limit their opponents' possessions. 1. James Madison 2. Iowa 3. Georgia 4. Marshall (Lance Guidry) 5. Wisconsin 6. Navy...

We had a couple years under Golden with multiple NFL players on the line. Unfortunately, those years, we'd score 30 and still lose.

The best way to defend an opponent's running game is to jump out to a lead. If our offense can actually score early, we can spend more time getting after the passer and not have to worry about teams trying to run over and over.
