But what about the SEC?


This SEC’s new Teams call “pro player” rules allow those players to be rostered. The NCAA cast a wider net and said ANY player who attended ANY pro event, mini-camps included.

Thats the reason for this.

Sloan still tried to throw into that defense


You have to be able to, but you need an OC who can scheme up some good zone beaters to flood areas and get defenders stressed and guessing. We have that now.

Amen! Somebody listened to the post game show. When the D is sending 8 vs your 5 or 6 there will be unblocked free runners and confusion on the OL.


I’m sure the hope was to keep it pretty vanilla, but we made it very easy for LA Tech to run the defense they wanted. They typically only rushed 3 or 4 with an occasional 5th added. But they were stacking 7 or 8 at or within 2 yards of the LOS on many plays. They dared us to go deep and we only attempted to a few times and really only hit one.

If a team is going to keep that many in the box, they will always outnumber you in the run game. Even when they drop guys out, with them being that close to the LOS, they can quickly redirect to support the run. 8 on 5 or 6 just doesn’t work. You HAVE to make them pay enough to at least back the Safeties up. Then you can get 1 on 1 with a TE blocking.

If other teams try this, we have to scheme up and hit them with a few intermediate and deep shots to force them out it. Attacking the edges with designed rolls, zone reads, jets and bubbles can also help if they are keying hard on the inside.

Charlotte who is probably worse offensively than Tech. Don’t give them gifts and we win.


Not probably. Charlotte is dog water.

I do agree that I think we will win though. I’m curious to see how Leavitt plays in that environment.


He’s a classic gamer QB. We’ve seen him raise his level in a high pressure playoff performance. He was able to make plays with his feet when the passing game was sputtering vs Clemson. I think he rises to the occasion, even if it isn’t ascetically pleasing.

They gave a blueprint on how to limit us. We kept trying to run the ball up the middle with defenders stacking the middle. If you can't run up the middle, find a different play.


Casual take. LA Tech plays a scheme that most wouldn’t attempt, especially on a 1 week prep cycle. Their scheme is built to turn the weakness of playing a lot of undersized guys up front into a strength by doing something no one sees regularly with them.

Will teams try to drop 8, but still keeping 8-10 in the box? Sure. They will dare us to beat them over the top and back them up. And based on his past performance and what we know of this scheme and offensive coaching, eventually Leavitt will be able to do that. It’s just a matter of when.

When that happens, what LA Tech had success with last night will get your teeth kicked in.

why is Bordelon the designated whipping boy? Honestly, I think he has played fairly well.


Davis still needs to improved, but he’s a LOT better than he was last year. He had a couple of really good blocks vs Clemson and faced their best DE on many snaps.

This offense has sucked 2 weeks in a row


bullshite like this is why most of you fricking idiots can’t be taken seriously.
It wasn’t just the OL. They had all 11 on the defense within 10 years of the LOS daring us to go deep. Because we weren’t hitting them, they were able to start plays with 6-8 in the box. A few would start off dropping, but they were still right there in position on run plays.

My point is that EVERYONE has to block well against numbers and it wasn’t just the OL missing them. The TEs and WRs weren’t good enough, either.

Told yall Leavitt can’t pass last week Bunch of BK supporters all upset about some criticism


Found the try-hard who wants to be the one who called it first….
quote:

They look like a very sound team. Solid defense. They scored 80 points last week and we just shrugged it off. But this team could end up ranked in the top 25 by the end of the year.


Let’s not get carried away. They are solid and well-coached, but I would be shocked if they challenged for the Fun Belt.

frick off you weak trolling shithead.

Concerning that we can't run the ball against LA Tech. Kuddos to them. They have stuffed us all night.


They are smaller and quicker and play a scheme to minimize the weaknesses that presents. They make it difficult to tell who’s up front and who’s dropping. Our guys are looking to get a hat on and hat and drive and they are good and avoiding that and shooting gaps against bigger guys.

The issue is that it should work for a quarter and then we should start figuring it out and making progress. That didn’t happen.
quote:

The play calling is a head scratcher.


They came at this hoping to stay vanilla and just roll over Tech using superior athleticism.

Their defense is goofy and we are making mistakes. They need to open up the gameplan in the 2nd half and create some openings and mismatches.
quote:

Golding is going to love calling that


That’s all he can do with his shite secondary. But he doesn’t have the DEs to consistently get home with 4 this season.

Tech gets the ball 2nd half too.


Their offense can’t do shite.
quote:

Every SEC school will watch this first half and bet your arse LSU will see it til they learn to beat it.


Will we see drop 8- sure.

No one who doesn’t normally run it is going to shift to 3-3-5 for a game. Thats not something you throw together in a week.

So do i take the +5400? On Tech


UK fans thought that at half too.
