Just listened to the press conference.

The common theme has not changed. To be able to break a few long runs on the Temples and BC’s of the world looks good in the box score, but Georgia demonstrated you actually don’t even have to be all that great to totally shut down Chip Long’s idiotic read option. And frankly, I’m sure that for quite awhile during the game, Georgia football folks were asking themselves why they barely beat our Irish by just one point. You know, asking themselves if they were “that” bad. My buddy and I were monitoring a chat board and the comments were brutal…and well deserved. I have been supportive of BK since day one and I never thought it would come to this, but even with putting up 49 and getting a W, I wouldn’t be shocked if the Trustees, responding to pressure, give Jack an ultimatum to unload him. And to take Chip Long with him. Seriously, this is the worst play calling for a talented offense (assuming Wimbush can learn to through a forward pass) I have ever seen in my 71 years. I was at a game watch and everyone was screaming at the huge screen thinking Kelly and Long could hear us. And, if I don’t see 15 more carries for Dexter I’m going to shoot myself.

I told one of my buddies (fellow alum), “this is Tommy Frazier stuff right here”. It’s tempting isn’t it?

Kelly must be all over the place and too ADHD to focus enough and make sure his young men perfect certain details in their preparation. He probably drives people nuts to where they can’t get pumped enough to put their heart in the game. Holtz got to his players, as you could tell from the Catholics vs Convicts 30 for 30, but in a way that made them better, not nuts. I do think the end of Holtz’s career was a bit like the current team considering Powlus and the lack of big wins.

Move the pocket around, get him run/pass options, it’s hard to believe that the offense has been so complicated and ineffective over the years, especially with the weapons they have now, and you know Kizer wanted to escape Kelly because he drives QBs more and more crazy the longer he has them.

And getting to know the position for the Receivers was a coaching function of the pre-season.

What were the coaches doing during the pre-season? Listening to Coach Kelly reveal his plans for the season?

I think the pause is the read-option where Wimbush decides whether to go forward with the handoff or, if the linebackers are crashing on the gap the running back is supposed to hit, to pull it and try to beat the defense to the edge. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like there’s a read-option element built into almost every running play we’re running now.

Dean Smith’s idea – 5 minutes of hell – give #2 offence 1-2 sets, a few basic plays out of it – Simple student body right/left – fresh legs, OLine needs quick hits mainly – playing against #1 D getting tired – catch em offf guard, make em run more – than #1 comes back in.
