Those graduation success rates reflect "the percent of scholarship freshman football players entering ACC schools from 2006 to 2009 who graduated within six years." Fedora wasn't even here yet when those guys enrolled. Just one more legacy Butch left for us.
No problem. I didn't even know the numbers were out, and couldn't believe that were that bad. That's embarrassing. Add to Fedora's plus-side of the ledger that he has generally recruited higher-character kids than his predecessor. I don't think that's even arguable.
I try to control it but can't help it. I wish I could just blame it on the alcohol, but I can't. It's all me. Remember when we played Kentucky at Rupp in like .... 2003 or so and they had some dude named Fitz or something that was raining 3s on us?
With the talent we had this year 8-4 is a waste of a season. It appears last year was a fluke. On the plus side we just guaranteed moo at least one more year of mediocrity because they will keep Dave now.
Except that clown is now 2-2 against us.... That's unacceptable. Of course this is thier SUPER-FREAKIN-BOWL, and those bovine-defiling inbreds wouldn't care if they were 1-11 as long as the W is against us.
I'm fresh out of pistachios, Gary . . how 'bout some steamed spiced shrimp or maybe some flatbread . . ?
This is g9od. I thhank it worgingg...Try a Jameson pickleback . . I think it may just be what suits you.
Lemme know . .
Defense was solid the second half. They made some good adjustments at the half. Getting rid of Chizik after two years would be stupid. Shity play calling killed us.
Hood was getting stuffed at the line more often than not. Hell he lost 7 yards on a straight run. It's pretty damn hard to lose 7 yards on a run that is not an end around but when the DL pushes your OL 3 yards into the backfield it really increases the odds. We ran the ball too much and were often left behind the sticks for 2nd down. I would love to know the number of runs we had for 0 gain or for a loss.
Solid might be an overstatement. moo started to play not to lose around the 4th. They also had receivers drop a couple of passes that would have sustained drives. Our defense made a couple of good plays such as when the their tackle let Carney streak in for a sack but they were pushed around all day.
So our defense only made good plays when moo allowed us to? The D was solid in the second half. They did enough for us to get the win. Calling a trick play on 4th and two inside the ten is one of the reasons we lost. The play calling was horrible.
They also played so poorly in the first half that they dug a hole we couldn't climb out of.
IIRC it was 3rd and 1 inside the 10 before we had to a) burn a timeout, b) run an idiotic wildcat play, and c) run one of the most ridiculous trick plays that tricked absolutely nobody (Logan's pitch to Switzer, who attempted to pass to Trubisky). Horrible, horrible piece of coaching there. That said, blaming the loss on play calling is only telling part of the story. There is plenty of blame to go around. The execution on both sides of the ball, particularly in the first half, was atrocious. Dropped passes, missed blocks, missed tackles, etc. That's on the players, not the coaches. JMO.
I'm not saying the defense was excellent, but at least they put us in a position to win after the half. The offense was bad the whole game. It looked like the UGA game all over again.
