You guys think we are giving Petrino just a little too much credit around here?

I mean sure at one point he was an up and coming offensive specialist but….exactly what are we do concerned about with him?

Genuinely curious as I’ve not really followed along his exploits of FCS powerhouse Missouri State
 
Petrino is not throwing the ball. Weigman is. Im just glad he is not a true dual threat QB cuz thats alot of game planning and that can defeat a perfect defensive call. Even though he can run

You're right. We had all these DL studs, with no LB talent, and Durkin runs a 3-5 most the year.

Here is our DL breakdown by class, star rating, and national position ranking. They all rotate:

2020 Class:

DT McKinley Jackson 4 star #8
DE Fadil Diggss 4 Star #11
DT Isaiah Raikes 3 star #61

2021 Class:

DE Shemar Turner 4 Star #10
DE Tunmise Adelye 4 Star #12
DT Albert Regis 4 Star # 37

2022 Class:

DT Walter Nolen 5 Star #1
DE Shemar Stewart 5 Star #3
DT Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy 5 Star #4

Lots of stars. But the on field doesn’t match. You guys need a better dc to unleash them. Until then it’s all potential

Miami is gonna run all over A&M. If Dawson can add some wrinkles with the TEs and some of the speedster, Harrell or Ray Ray, It will come down to TVD and his performance. The problem will be can UM’s offense stop their defense. I think UM has a better chance of stopping their offense than they do of stopping UM’s offense.

Asking so much of Ray Ray so early...

BUT...if he is the Santana Moss clone we hope he can be....

He's going to be a problem for any D to stop.

That's absurd.

Offensively, I'm finding ways to go at their true freshman LB or to confuse him and expose his eyes. Pulling guards, pulling tackles, pulling a TE, mesh concepts in his vicinity, run counter, etc.

Then forcing their corners to tackle. Chappell doesn't like to tackle on the perimeter but he's solid in coverage. Tunnel screens will be effective again if we're strong blocking like we were a week ago. They're not going to want to tackle Young or Horton on the boundary as big as they are.

Back to the defense... get Couch off the field and Davis off the boundary and into the slot. DO NOT let them get Stewart lined up on Couch because he's toast in that slot fade. They ran it 7-8 times a week ago.

Bro i wanna see Richard and the 2 Browns deal with the outside and Davis and maybe Porter deal with the slot. Im sorry but i never see any potential from Couch. Be been here for years. I wanna see a short rotation.

I was riding home on my motorcycle and thinking, if a team like NC State got Ray Ray they would have him be the focal point of the offense, week 1. WR is not a complicated position. We need to get the talent on the field and run what they can execute.

The first two plays will tell me all I need to know about this game. If we come out and hold up physically on the line of scrimmage I think we can compete. I predicted us to beat Clemson a few years ago and the first play that MLB they had who is probably selling cars right now blew by (pause) our guards like they were standing still I knew we were ****ed (pause).

I think Petrino’s getting the credit he deserves. Does it translate on Saturday? Who knows but I think folks at CG are getting ready.
 
Rewatching. 1. Someone fire the clock operator. 2. Parrish big run before HT to set up FG bailed out a bad series for Dawson.

Not worried about that. I have 1 question, will our passing game finally wake up and make 1v1 plays. We do that, we win imo

I just can’t see Guidry not bringing a **** ton of pressure. 15 can sling it when he has time. Gotta move him off his spot.

Been a long time since I’ve seen him really guide an offense so not sure if he’s still on the level he was thought of when he went to Atlanta or we are just scared of his history

Petrino is an assassin with something to prove.

Plus he'll be banging an intern before the game, at halftime, and after the game.

Does he still have what it takes?
