Golden digging his own grave

[JimmyJohnsonsHair]

Easy week for offensive game plan for Cutcliffe: just photo copy last year's and change dates. Al and Mark never change anything, so no need for Duke to think much. Stopping Kaaya might be a different issue. Of course, they can count on Coley to kill 2 or 3 drives with his addiction to those stupid little screens of his, but if we stay downfield, Kaaya will light it up. Score should be something like 56 - 53. Then Al can blame offense for scoring to much and to fast-- wait he used that one 2 years ago, didn't he. Well, smart guys like will not expect us dummies to remember that, so he might pull it out again.

For the defense, any ex-military snipers types on the board. Nothing legal mind you, just pick off a few balls in mid flight to duke TEs -- no need to worry about hitting Canes, we are not allowed to cover TEs over the middle.

I suspect Cutcliffe is going to find a way to exploit the right side of our OL (which shouldn't be too hard) and not give Kaaya time to throw deep. Then they will crowd the LOS we'll get stuffed in the backfield when we try to run those dumb stretch runs.

If I'm Cutcliffe, I show a ton of 4WR looks and trips. If their QB can be accurate enough down the seam and on the trips bubble screen, we'll be totally off balance. Maybe we get out of Quarters coverage sooner. I don't know. Maybe we show a lot of Cover 3 on Saturday.

If I know what formations I'd use against our defense, I'm pretty confident David F'in Cutcliffe is going to know what formations max out his offensive players. Problem for Cutcliffe is that I just don't think Duke is very good. Their OL is not as collectively strong as Nebraska's. That's a key because we start everything with a locked-up fight against OL. Some of the Nebraska runs that went for 5-6 will be 2-3 on Saturday. It changes down and distance.

Its what I've come to realize with this staff, they are so overly systematic, that people know exactly what 2-3 things they are gonna do given specific formation and down/distance. I think this goes for both O and D.. Thats why it looks like the other team knows what play we're running, because they basically do.. These guys are plug n play coaches, no improvisation or ad libbing or in game adjustments.. *****!!!

He checked out on us a while ago. No amount of jerseys or dodgeball can gloss that over. Time to return the favor.

I agree that Duke isn't all that good, but I don't think Nebraska is either. And Cutcliffe can make up for a lot of deficiencies.

Do you know how many OL they have back from last year when they ran it down our throats for over 300 yards? I don't know how many are back, but they looked pretty good running it on us last year, and I think much of their success was from spread formations.

Agreed, mostly. Nebraska is just more athletic. We'll see if Cutcliffe can make up for Nebraska's edge on Duke in terms of athleticism. They didn't need to use him (though he did well for them as a blocker), but #80 (WR) on Nebraska is a very good football playe and could have killed us, if need be. The funny thing is, like I said in an earlier post this week, Nebraska really just copied what Duke had done in 2013, which was an extension of what Notre Dame and KState had done in 2012.

Round and round we go.

*BTW, they return 3 of 5 starters on their OL. They lost two extremely experienced guys. One was a RT and the other a LG. The RT was their hoss. They should be about the same to slightly worse along the OL this year. They do have one guy who is a legit NFL prospect.

Cutcliffe is going to rape No D. I watched Duke last week. Connette might be gone, but they have Sirk who comes in and runs the "Tebow" package. He has 173 yards on 20 carries (8.7 per carry) with 3 TD. I think he's a better running QB than Connette was. Boone is having a better year passing than last year, completing 62% of his passes with 7 TD and threw his first INT last week against Tulane. They have the freshman RB who leads them in rushing with 404 yards and 14.4 yards per carry (that's not a typo). They still have Crowder and McCaffrey at wideout. They're going to put up 600 and 45+ points.

And, yes, I realize they haven't played anyone, and I don't think they're good, but it doesn't matter.

You're right about 80. But Duke has Crowder, who hung 200 yards receiving on us a couple years ago and is a great little WR.

It's got the potential to be another D'Saster for our D.

I think Kaaya and Duke Johnson will bail them out though.

You're probably right. The only way we stop them is them shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers. Should be a crazy shootout because their D is horrible too.

Their D is bad, they just create turnovers. They blitzed Tulane a lot last week, so I expect them to blitz Kaaya this week too. He'll burn them if they do. Tulane ran for 255 yards against them though, so we should do the same, unless Coley forgets about the run.

 

[deleted4920]

I guarantee golden stacks the box on dukes first drive. When they complete a pass of ten yards or more he will just revert back. He will stack the box and if it fails he will say, see we stacked the box and it failed.

Agree 100%.

or we can't run block for isht.

 

[Bigtip]

there is no doubt that Cutcliffe is going to rape F/A/G/Dorito. no doubt.

I am so ******* sick of this "defense" and F/A/Gs BS. thats why at this point its better for us to lose. we've already suffered the embarrassment of losing to Dook last year.

a loss right now at home would all but guarantee F/A/G is gone by the end of the season.

Tulane's OL can't block for ****, trust me. Tulane has a dog**** OL, and they gashed Duke.
