Quick hitters

We can agree on that. All I expect is for Richt to make adjustments to his offense based on his personel. Just like UNC did yesterday. They don’t have world beaters at QB’s. They used short throws and motions and mis-direction running plays to get our defenders to move and think. Despite how dominate we were defensively, we got gashed by there offense at times. Richt cannot act like we are Bama and just run zone reads runs up the middle all day. Motions, sweeps, counters, draws, better QB/RB reads on RPO are required to account that we have a more finesse OL and not a smash mouth type. Is that too much to ask?

Agreed. Don't like our running game at all. Especially with runs from the shotgun formation, most of our runs are slow to develop, which isn't ideal when you've got an OL that doesn't run block all that well and can't hold their blocks. The back is often at a complete standstill when he gets the ball, instead of already being on the run when he gets it. It's definitely better suited to Dallas than Homer, because Dallas is better at picking holes and making something out of nothing. Homer's one-cut-and-go style, and his speed, would do much better with some different designs in our running plays.

I wouldn't believe it had I not seen it for myself. He balled out last night. Good time for the light to turn on for him too with Shaq's availability for next week in question.
 
Overall a great game - but one has to be a little concerned about the amount of rushing yards allowed. True - the 3 back set was a gimmick - but they were some gaping holes. Nothing that cant be fixed - but a little concerned with tougher competition coming up. Akers is a beast - granted his O-Line sucks balls - but he is a legit home run threat.
 
Offense had almost 300 yards and a 33-10 lead at halftime. They turned it over twice in the 3rd quarter and Richt went into conservative mode. I'm perfectly fine with the staff leaning on the running game and milking the clock in the second half of a blowout. Especially in a freshman QB's first ever start. I'm not sure what some of you wanted to see last night. Should they have just went wild and opened the playbook with a 30 point lead? Sure, let's give FSU extra tape on our new QB and blow our collective load in a game that was over at halftime.
 
Don’t bother with @fincane when it comes to Rosier/Perry discussion. Nothing will change his mind.

He’s convinced Rosier is better and it doesn’t matter what Perry does or doesnt do, he’s going to defend Rosier at all cost.

The offense scored 19 points against a bad UNC defense when the game was still in doubt(if it ever was) and three of the points were set up by an end of the half pick. I get the ball looks pretty and Perry is all new and shiny but if the "offense runs better" which is up for the debate at this point it is because we're finally pounding inferior opponents on the ground.

I’m confused as to what you’re talking about. The game was never in doubt but the offense scored 20 points in the first half.

Since when is 20 points in a half of football bad? (20 points in a half where your defense scored twice keeping the ball out of your hands)

They had a bad third that included easy to fix turnovers.

That three back "wishbone" set Vilma kept on referring to it as is something I would like to see us run this season.

Maybe Richt will copy cat it like he did with the UNC reverse pass last season.

Definitely!! Always looking for new wrinkles and looks. Take for example the looks the new Chicago Bears Head Coach is giving teams (2 QBs in the backfield) - it will drive DCs crazy

-Bandy on back to plays look like the Miami Honey Badger. He just had more physicality than the guy on the other side..and imposed. This is the reason why im high on our current commit Brownlee out of Carol City. Same type of game.

-Finley and Mike Smith have been surprises all season. Finley has just looked extremely quick and more comfortable. Like I said in the Gameday thread Mike Smith appears to be faster than Quarterman or Pinkney this year. Mike Smith if he continues the year like today is a kid that will be in a nfl camp with a chance to make practice squads. Go make that money Mike.

-Joe Jack showed up was held all night. Garvin and Willis are our best DL. Willis continues to do what he wants to. His gun point im guessing got the old ref in his feelings. He got the points back for us though. Heard a good number of NFL scouts were there. Willis definitely can line up at dt for my dolphins right now.

Speaking of being held, Scott Patchan was held often as well, and he complained twice. One was blatant on a extended hand off to Carter in which he got like 15 yrds on a run. Scott couldn’t break free from the tackle b/c he was being held.

I think the ACC refs need to go back to basic ref classes. If a player gets past defender, and defender can’t turn around to make play b/c his jersey is being pulled the opposite direction, that’s holding.

Watch it again man. Reason why it bounced off his chest is because his arm was being held down so he could not make a play on the ball.

Either way...the fault doesn't lie with Perry.

He threw a catchable ball to HIS teammate...not the opposition

It wasn't a terrible decision, but it was into very tight coverage. Had Perry turned his head a little to the right he would have seen Homer completely uncovered in the flats on that play, which would have been the better option.

Isn't it great to be complaining only about these types of trifling little nits ......instead of.... why a WIDE OPEN receiver was thrown a ball 10 feet over his head??

It's great having a good QB.....let's enjoy it because we do know the alternative
