Via Matt Porter:After two games, Canes rank dead last in FBS in 3rd down rate (3-for-23)

Golden spent the whole offseason harping on how our 3rd down conversion rate must improve and 2 games in we're dead last. That to me this the biggest indictment of this staff. Every other stat or reason is secondary to me, the scheme, gameplan etc. This is not a small sample size either, we were terrible all of last year. You can't continually be that bad in the most crucial down. 3rd down boils down to success or failure. either we move the chains or we get off the field. Both off/def coordinators should be calling on their best plays/best match up to exploit given the situation and our offensive staff continually ***** on themselves.

Why would Golden change when he has no pressure from his bosses to change? Keep trying what he thinks will work and sell it to the media and fans after the game with his real skills. He did say "we have to analyze everything", really don't even think he knows what that means and am convinced he has zero clue how to fix James Coley
 
Kaaya has gotta be better too for us to improve that stat. he's shown flashes but he's nowhere close to being ready right now
 
Who ever tutored Trayone Gray so he could get scores up so fast to qualify might want to take a shot at tutoring our coaches on improving their third down conversion rate
 
Thats an indictment of Coleys 1st and 2nd down play selection. If I see another WR screen on 1st down I will kick my TV.
 
All Golden supporters should be nailed to crosses and crucified along the Turnpike leading to No Life Stadium. Like at the end of "Spartacus" (the movie, not the soft **** TV series, which was awesome because Lucy lawless is a hottie)

60% of the blame goes to Golden/Coley...40% to Kehoe. Coley call plays just to call them and Golden signs off on it. Kehoe hasn't coached a good o-line since 2002.

Al Golden on teleconference now. First question is about third down. Says 1st stringers were 3-for-6 in first half, 2nd were 25 percent.

Protecting Coley instead of putting heat on him. Exactly the problem

Flat out lie. They were 2 for 10 last night.

3-for-6 against FAMU is still rather ******.

The problem is the OL first. Then play calling

If we can't figure out how to run the ball on first and second down and give Kaaya a short pass to convert on 3rd or at the very least give us an option to run or throw, we might not win 6 games

Take out dukes 55 yard run last night and he ran for 5 yards a carry which is pathetic against FAMU.

If we can't figure out the OL problem we are gonna stay dead last in 3rd down conversions

Now, the formations we run, the tendencies and predictability of this offense is another huge issue. 2 TE, walk on f'n fullback and Malcolm Lewis) is a run 100% of the time going back to last year.

We have electric playmakers at WR, a TE who we KNOW can't block, a TE who hasn't proven he can and a walk on fullback yet we trot out one receiver and get our scat back crushed

If our OL starts mauling dudes in the run game it doesn't matter as much if our OC has his head up his *** because Duke should hide some issues with his skill

If we still can't block as the season goes on and if our OC doesn't start spreading defenses out so our two small RBs can get in space we won't make it to a bowl game

Matt Porter can thank a thread in the WEZ for doing his research.
