Defense is a 3-3-5

It is generally a bend but dont break defense, although they did get after it for 8 sacks yesterday.


If you do not have a stud nose tackle, this defense is generally weak in any good NCAA league. Do y'all have that at NT?

3-3-5. It's a gimmick defense but the JJ has probably never seen anything like it before



I'm sure he saw plenty of it in Pop Warner and at DHS.

Have fun come to the north end of the track stadium have some gumbo and some beer, do not listen to some of the people on here.
you have a good team and will come to play.

Have fun in NOLA, cuvee for a great dinner or Irene's great local place on barracks st.

charlie, is there anyway to find a current depth chart, the one i am looking at was from the summer on rivals and is not current. what happened to Starks, the wr, he looks promising?

285 just won't get it done


I guess that bodes well for us since none of our starters are 285.

I posted our oline's height and weight a few pages back for your viewing pleasure.

katy, both of those games were against completely deflated teams who were in bitch mode for not making it to the national championship. as i recall, uga looked flat from the beginning of the game and got their asses whipped from start to finish. that was a good uga team that was not ready to play. if we don't come out ready to play we could lose. i think we are fired up to play this week.

Our DT Scooter Berry and NT Chris Neild are outstanding. Dline isnt the problem. DBs have played well overall, but for three big pass plays.

We have a great safety, Robert Sand, but he has played hurt all year. As I have stated before our CB Hogan may still be suspended for the LSU game, his replacement Miller gave up the two bombs against Maryland.

sorry bout that, i was looking at that old depth chart, looks like each guy except rt put on 4-6 lbs in offseason; still small line, but comparable to Vandy in size. small for an sec team (ours is small for an sec team too).

the reason we win this game is coaching...this is one of the few games on the schedule i'd take miles of our opposing team's head coach

Starks is promising. . .to perpetually have some mild injury that keeps him from reaching his potential.

My best friend is a WVU grad, he said that the reason the mashall game was so close was that the head coach from marchall was an assistant head coach for WVU last year. He said marshall knew all the formations and about every play they were going to run before they ran it. Plus, he said they just traditionally have problems with marshall and that you can't ever judge their team based on that game. FWIW

There is a lot of truth to that, but I dont take much solace in that. Its not as if Doc left for Marshall two days before the game. He left 8 months ago. We should have been better prepared.

And Marshall does have a HUGE inferiority complex of all things WVU and they get up every time they play us in fball or baball. They have beaten us in basketball in years that they had single digit wins and we went to the elite 8.

I dont know if you guys have to deal with that with Lafeyette or Tulane, but its pretty annoying. They get a layup or a first down and you would think they hit a game 7 world series grand slam.

Cooper placed the call to him this morning!!

Seriously, this sounds like GC and the SEC defenses we faced last year.

yes we do with lafayette, just like you said, they hit a jumpshot and its like...; dammit, you just reminded me of your basketball team's asswhipping of us in basketball, . i enjoyed watching that team after, but i hated losing to them. pitznogle was one of the scuziest looking white boys ever, is he in the nba? was it the coaches son who was also money? i think he played forward and could sink the 3's.

Pittsnogle is now a school teacher in WVAs eastern panhandle. Patrick Beilien, the coaches son, I believe, is now an assistant for his dad at Michigan. Pat played SG.

Well has it ever occured to you smartass, that that may be the reason crowton's predictable arse gets stuffed on all those dumbass play calls that he makes? They worked in 07, and all the sudden in 08 they couldn't get positive yardage with them. It's not like WVU has a great schemer for a coach that could develope an entire new offense just to play marshall and why would they try, it's marshall.

This is going to be a very tough, close game. I predict another down-to-the-wire finish—that's something we Tiger fans are used to, for better or worse. Anyway, warning to WVU fans: have a heart specialist close by, you'll prolly need one come the last minute of the game. Having a number of 'eer friends, and having respect for the blue-collar rep of WVU football, I can't wait for this game. It's gonna be way cool.

Tigers 20, WVU 17.

With the teams you listed, you have not experienced a defense with this kind of quickness, speed, and strength. Peterson is everything advertised, and then some. This defense is truly something to see. The way I have described it to others - Your QB hands the ball off to the RB, and 11 of the meanest, fastest, strongest, SOB's you could imagine all try to take the the poor guy's head off. It's like a pick-up game of "all against all", and your are the slowest white guy within 500 miles. The only time teams have had any success moving the chains against us is when we've taken our foot off of the pedal. It has been fun to watch.

Offensively, there has not been any reason to open the throttle, as of yet. Coaches have played a very conservative game-plan, the reason of which has been THE discussion here of late. We have large, strong, RB's with quick feet and above average speed. Our play-makers on offense are probably the best you have ever faced as a group. Oftentimes, we have operated on a less than imaginative basis - the question is WHEN the coaches will turn the play-makers loose and utilize them to their fullest potential.

Special teams - all that needs to be said is Patrick Frickin' Peterson. A 21st century version of Neon Deon.
