I'm Still Worried

Does it bother anyone else that we schedule games with opponents that are so lame we have to shorten the game? We did this against Savannah St. In 2013 (by running the clock). We shortened this game and still ran the clock most of the time in the second half.

Stop scheduling these **** opponents.

Most schools are doing this. Plus the shorten clock was due to the weather delay. But just to make sure no one mistakes me as a slurper - BRING BACK BUTCH!

I'm not terribly concerned with looking a little sluggish in game one. I AM concerned with Coley not being able to recognize what the D is giving, and what they are trying to take away. The D is finally coming around with depth, talent, and experience. Why isn't the O? Coley is why. We can NOT convert -30% of our third downs and compete for anything meaningful. This O has no identity at all. Jack of all trades, master of none. We can't execute a bubble screen after three years of trying, but he keeps going to it. WHY? For the sake of Jose Canseco, can we throw that **** play out already? If you can't take it out of the playbook, get rid of the playbook.

There were lots of positives last Saturday night, but struggling to convert 3rd downs against Bethune is a bad, bad sign of things to come.

I agree.

Time will tell, but there's no excuse under the sun for Golden's defense this year. It is loaded. I honestly think Pride will cause him to fail. So, I'm not sold on the D.

Coley is a novice. He struggles with the utilization concept of the number two and three receivers in the short to intermediate passing game. It don't matter pro style or spread the concept remains the same. For me the core problem isn't necessarily route combinations. Coley has his own flavor for route combinations. Every coordinator does. Lu and I were discussing the smash-7 TD to SColey (fr.yr) in the pitt game. If I recall correctly, the combination wasn't a typical 2-7. I believe it was a 4-7. If the separation is there off the stem, fine, I don't care how its routed. Pitt blew the coverage, as the CB bit on the eye candy, but Coley had leverage on the safety. Stemming routes from normal alignment isn't a strong point of emphasis in Coley's offense. There's no creativity. Creativity in terms of working to gain and maintain leverage. He doesn't have a signature route. Can't compliment anything without having something. Bubble screen don't count. It's sad to say this but Pat Nix's screen game is better than Coley's. Coley should have learned by now that he can't keep trotting ineffective personnel out there to block.
 
Don't be like Ped State. Don't let the Canes ruin your day.
