Game 1 predictions: @ Louisville

[McGahee2TheHouse]

dk fails to address the conference championships and BCS wins, and instead goes after a movie reference in support of his "argument." Yawn.

But but but Muhammad Wilkerson. Beat that achievement.

UM - 34 UL - 27

Kaaya: 23-36 3 TD 1 INT
Duke: 226 yds rush & rec 1 TD
C. Thomas: 2 sacks 1 ff
Dallas seals the game with an int with 27 seconds left

Holy ****.



Put the Ncaa14 down for a second, this is real life.

LOL @ Duke Johnson rushing for 40 more yards against UL than he did against FAU (and his career high rushing performance).

 

[Colombie]

We win a high scoring game. And people will bash the Defense and D coordinator instead of celebrating the win.

And I assume from the tone of your post that you believe such criticism would be unwarranted?

I mean, God forbid that we would like to see a year 4 defense actually defend.

Now go back to work. There are copies that need to be made, champ.

And what should I gather from your obnoxious 12 year old mean girl tone "champ"?

If we win a game people should celebrate. Then analyze things fairly. If negative criticism is warranted then so be it... ...however it should not be the main focus if we win a game on the road.

Gotta love the clueless casual football fans who underestimate just how great of a coach Petrino is. Coincidentally, these are the same guys who schlub around all year in a mustard-stained Al Golden tie shirt telling people to #TRUSTTHEPROCESS like ****ing dopes.



- 8 years at afterthought programs Louisville and Arkansas.
- Won 10 or more games 4 times.
- 3 BCS game appearances.
- 2 BCS wins
- 5 seasons finished ranked in the top 25
- 2 Conference titles


- Total offenses finished ranked:

(Louisville)
-- 5th
-- 1st
-- 9th
-- 2nd

(Arkansas)
-- 49th
-- 20th
-- 9th
-- 29th


8 years. 5 top 10 offenses. 6 in the top 25.




He's going to toy with this Al Groh-style, Big 10 defense designed for fat white Polish kids from Pennsylvania.

When Golden is looking helplessly across the field at Petrino, and Duke is doing his best Bobby Boucher impression trying to get him to picture Petrino as a puppy, it'll already be too late. Golden teams are soft. This game is too hostile, and the talent left by Strong is very good.

Oh, and in case anyone forgot, we're either starting a reject that couldn't hack it at BYU and Kansas, or a kid who was in high school 3 months ago.


Louisville 34
Miami 17

So it's a shootout? His defenses averaged over 25 points a game with SEC recruits giving up over 4400 yards EVERY year. Not too much better than Marky Mark. So yeah, I'll take that BYU reject with Stacey Coley, Duke Johnson, Dorsett, Gray, Yearby, Waters, etc. Some of you fans are more chicken than Petrino when he ran from the Falcons. Come on man.

So your position is that Arkansas is on par with the top teams of the SEC?

My position is Petrino made a career off one season with a 12-1 record with Louisville before they even faced Big East competition. He is a great offensive mind. Will he have the offense flowing game one? He's never been good at putting respectable defenses on the field so can they stop all of out play makers? They just got the DC from Georgia whose fans feel about him the way ours feel about D'No. Plus, it will be the defenses first game after switching to a 3-4. Petrino is being made out to be all world here. Arkansas isn't Alabama but you're still getting SEC recruits and they even had the #1 player in the nation. Falcons 3-10. His most successful ventures have not been in main conferences. I'm not saying he's not a good coach but posters in here are making the man out to be Saban. If he was as good as people say he wouldn't be returning to Louisville.

 

[dk72]

dk fails to address the conference championships and BCS wins, and instead goes after a movie reference in support of his "argument." Yawn.

So what? Yes, he's a great coach. Never disputed that. The argument being that the current Louisville team has some major holes in it. Petrino is not an unbeatable god of football.

The comment about the movie reference, since you seem to dense to get the point, was, when the whiny OP made a comment about "maturity" while making laughably immature comments.

Right. Expecting a competent defense in year four, with a roster that people around here consider is finally "talented" is too much of a feat and should not be a main focus of game 1.

No the OP employed the literary device that some people know as "humor" whereas the QP focused solely on the tone of the post rather than disputing any of the points made.

We're not making him out to be Saban, look closely at what we're positing. He went 10-2 in the SEC, the god **** SEC, in his third year at the football program. Would you say that Golden is even in the same planet as that success wise?

 

[KevinCaneFace]

Corrections, the 12-1 season was in the Big East

TOO* dense.

And you keep saying god of football instead of actually making some kind of factual, or tactical analysis. Make a point or go back to flipping burgers.

The OP only made one valid point, that Petrino is a good coach. So what? Far from unbeatable. His presentation of the situation as if Petrino makes L'ville an unbeatable force that we can't possibly handle with our "soft" team is baseless.

 

[WhatTheHell]

I'd like to address Kevin's excuse of a Face now, and his point about Petrino's defenses.



Bobby Petrino's 8 seasons as a head coach at UL and Arkansas:

Average total defense rank - 51
Top 40 defenses - 4




Al Golden's 8 seasons as head coach at Temple and Miami:

Average total defense rank - 66
Top 40 defenses - 2





So even the man you just tried to have a laugh at over his defensive inefficiencies, is STILL putting better units on the field than Golden and Dorito. That's really sad, huh?

Oh, and sidenote, he has the added bonus of actually excelling on one side of the ball. At least he's putting great offenses out there.

Yes, yes, we all get your point. Petrino is a god of football, who no one can stand up against. Golden shouldn't be coaching Peewee league. Duke Johnson is just a soft player along with the rest of the team. Blah...blah....

Thanks for correcting the view of all of us "casual" fans who apparently don't have the impressive and legendary understanding of football that you clearly do.

So instead of rebutting with some factual or tactical insight you resort to being snarky, and dismissive of completely salient points. You're perfect for the Al Golden vomit caddy club.

dk72 most likely works a 9-5 job and gets paid hourly. You are asking him to engage in analysis?

LOL, tru dat...

Right. Expecting a competent defense in year four, with a roster that people around here consider is finally "talented" is too much of a feat and should not be a main focus of game 1.

The main focus should be how the team went on the road and won. And I believe we will. Now that is something up for debate but your argument pertaining to focusing only on the D is a bit silly and petty.

 

[WhatTheHell]

Nice immature response by DK. His feelings were clearly hurt, and his sassy response made me think he typed it out with one hand on his hip after leaving a *** bar.

I guess it's all or nothing. If I think Petrino is a better coach, and facing him on the road means we are gonna lose, then somehow Petrino is a football God, and Duke is soft.

**** of a conclusion to make.

Where exactly was the maturity in your silly comments about "fat white Polish kids from Pennsylvania" and Duke doing his best "Bobby Boucher" impression? Bottom line is you presented it as if Petrino were THE world's greatest ever offensive coach in the history of football. Yes, he's a top offensive coach. His defense has lots of holes, his offense still has some major questions, including a patchwork offensive line.

Thank you for picking out the few lines in my post that weren't statistical evidence of his success.

Again, more proof you have no rebuttal. I said he was a great coach, you're creating the fake scenario where I said "world's greatest coach ever omg hide your kids!"

You'd be better off shutting up instead of repeatedly showing your ***.

Where was the original "tactical analysis"? Evidence that Petrino is a good offensive coach. No one disputed that. The tactical analysis is that this L'ville team is far from unbeatable. It has MANY holes, including a new QB, patchwork offensive line, highly suspect secondary, and a new defense. Yet the OP makes it out as if there is no way we can beat such a mighty team because the mighty Petrino is coaching.

Golden and Dorito are both "defensive" coaches yet the "offensive" coach has put up better defenses. Lol.
