Know your enemy. Watch Appalachian State - Tenn game

Advertisement
I'm not saying it won't be a close contest and I know our defense is young and inexperienced... But after watching app state's offense, it's really hard for me to believe that they'll score 17 points
 
Sorry, Bro. I don't see App. State dropping 17 points on our Defense. That is not going to happen. Another thing, we will hang 40+ on them.

Kaaya has not performed up to standard because Richt has not performed up to standard as a play caller. I am not high on MR as playcaller these days, but MR knows he has to perform. Let's be honest...it's been 11 years since MR called plays. He is rusty AF. MR took entirely too long to adjust last week. This week, we should expect more urgency and focus from MR. He will settle Kaaya in early and then Boom!


This game will not be close.

You had me until that second paragraph...


You know mark richt didn't call plays at Georgia during his "decline" right?


Also I would throw in that we have played famu and fau and it would be pretty silly to judge him as a play caller when we have used probably 25% of our playbook

I don't see why people are putting this on the play calls...It was extremely obvious that Kaaya had an off game. Many high passes and missed alot of wide open guys on cross routes. If he hits even half of those passes it's a different game...but he started off 1/9 i think?
 
App St. backup qb went to my high school.I hated that kid so hopefully we knock out Lamb than him
 
App state aint scoring 17 and their defense is not good enough to hold us to 31.

I dont know why we are being compared to tennessee. They absolutely suck. Especially on offense.

App state played 20 yards off the ball in the defensive backfield, all night.

No way they can beat us playing scares like that. Herndon, richards, and coley will have a field day.
 
I have a feeling Richt will blow the doors off these cats to make a statement on national TV as everyone is prbly waiting to see the upset since they almost had tenn...

If so /weBack
 
ok, they are a decent run team but that right now that plays into the strength of our defense (albeit after two weakling opponents). I am not concerned whatsoever of their ability to throw the ball consistently to move their offense. We shut the run game down, it's over.

I am sure that will be the focus all week leading to the game as the coaches were "concerned" about App. St's ability to run.

They might be able to do some things to slow our offense and after the FAU experience I hope Kaaya learns to make deeper drops to have more time for the intermediate/long pass plays to develop, or just take what is being given underneath to our playmakers. Fortunately, we are also seeing an OC that can adjust on the fly to what is happening in real time.

We should win this one comfortably at least on paper.

It does not matter why he stopped calling plays at this point. He Stopped. However, I have never known a coach to step away only to watch his team under perform.

Look, no smart OC lets his QB struggle too long. MR did not adjust his passing game until the second half. Kaaya was stinking up the joint from the first whistle.

Miss me with that 25% of the playbook BS. If Kaaya could not hit the side of the barn with 25% of the pllaybook, what makes you think he would fare better with more playbook. Kaaya needed to be settled down. MR gave him simple throws in the 2nd half. MR should have did it earlier.

MR and Kaaya will be better on Saturday. I guarantee it!

I disagree. changes were made mid 2nd quarter or sooner and offense was rolling
 
You can see that offensively, they don't have a ton of talent. And the coach knows that. He didn't attempt to pass the ball because he knew it wouldn't work and would just result in sacks, incompletions, and INTs. They have some success running, but it's all based on misdirection and motions. They aren't just running at you, they really need to confuse you to compensate for the lack of talent. While that can work, and it worked somewhat against Tenn., when the talent gap is so large, it still isn't going to result in many big plays. The defense is still able to recover and make stops and keep gains to minimal yardage. Which results in them having to first down their way down the field to score. And that's difficult to do, which is why they only scored 13 against Tenn. and needed a botched punt to even get to that number.

Okay....Mid/late 2nd Quarter. THAT IS STILL TOO LATE. Again, Kaaya was stinking up the joint from the first whistle.

They both will perform better against App State.
 
Only thing that scares me is look back at the FAU tape. We sent the house on some blitzes and if the QB could just add a little touch on that screen play and to the TE they might have scored...I know the blitz helped hurry the throw but it's something to look at especially since APP state uses a lot of misdirection and will do screens. I am not that worried about losing this game, I just hope we don't give up a huge score early on like that.

Yeah. But thats the nature of the blitz. Its like the sword. You live and die by it. And like [MENTION=14457]Liberty City El[/MENTION] previously mentioned.

Different game plan for different teams, bruh.

Another good one. Every Dobbs pass vs Appy State.
App. played off a lot. Even in the 4th Quarter Musburger is pointing out all the space App State. is giving the Tenn. WRs. And that's with the game on the line. We have to be able to take advantage of that, unlike Dobbs. How he isn't checking to hot reads on some of those obvious blitzes I have no idea. They should be burning App. State on those. Instead he hikes it, turns his back and starts to try to run out of the pocket. Just an absolute idiot.
 
They'll catch us on some fly sweep misdirection or a throwback screen when they get everyone flowing one way and the ball goes the other. They'll use our hyper aggression against us to trick us up for some points. Key is for the young guys to not get rattled and go in the tank when they trick us up because it's gonna happen.

Dobbs is incompetent in the pass game. The only throw he can make is a long jump ball to their tall WR. He's got no touch or feel in the pass game. Kaaya, at his worst, is a better passer than Dobbs.
