A BC opinion on CPJ

GT1992 said:
Tackling prowess has sucked for many years now, add in wet conditions and that did not surprise me. It was a fluke, but if you depend on that, you go 3-9, which is about what BC will do this year despite having what people claim is the best defense in the world. I'm being realistic. We did not look good and even CPJ said it was ugly and a lot needs to be fixed. Maybe a dry track helps, but you really don't want to rely on the weather.

I don't disagree that we got outplayed for quite a bit of the day, but the fact is that we put more points up on the board.

And I don't think a 4th and 19 conversion is a fluke play. CPJ guessed that they would be in prevent, and they were. JT made a great throw when we needed one. He made a few yesterday.

BC may very well go about 3-9, but don't be surprised to see their defense keep them in a lot of games, just like it did last year.

They were in the same defense as 3rd and 19. We also hit a big pass on the previous drive and had pass interference called to give us a first down. None of which relate to our base offense that wasn't working the vast majority of the day. I'm all for opening the offense up, but let's go get Ralph back to do that as OC. We won and that's good, but I simply didn't see a blueprint for consistent winning.

Better is getting 3 penalties instead of 6, and 1 turnover instead of 3.

That is absolutely helpful, but doesn't us a better team. It wins some games, but when you are constantly blown off the ball, you will lose more than you win.

Our performances against Wofford, Tulane, Ga Southern, and VT to start 2014 didn't look like "blueprints for consistent winning" either.
 
so many whiners already. a tough game, on a long road, in crappy weather conditions, on a shiite field, and we won!

so, dumbasses.... for all of your whining... yeah, it wasnt a super great performance. it wasnt pretty. it took a last-ditch effort but... but....

So we need to depend on blocking kicks? That doesn't seem to me to be a good plan.

Stop being obtuse. No, we don't need to depend on blocking kicks, but it's great when that's in your arsenal along with a senior QB who doesn't quit and some emerging talent surrounding him. We had some close calls in 2014 that we overcame with those kinds of "flukes" - in 2015, those bounces went the other way in a number of games. Here's hoping Saturday's game is an indication that the pendulum has swung back in our favor.

And it was concerning. Just like our performance against Kansas in 2010 when we were 6-7.

I'd love to place a bet with you on BC going better than 3-9

We won on a fluke play. They happen in football. To say we were certainly better as a football team that day is a joke. They lined up to kick a field goal in a situation where their kicker had never missed one to win the game. The football gods gave us a break. Good win, but certainly not one that you can claim we were better, just more opportunistic.

Kicking is a mental game. The Jackets can block kicks. BC's kicker knows that as well as anyone. That's hardly a fluke play.

Didn't like going to New Jersey. He was actually with some of the 1990 team on Fox discussing the season. He wasn't fired from Rutgers.

He sucked and kicked it low. The two kicks he missed, Butker would have made and kicked it high enough not to be blocked. Too bad the Jackets couldn't block the Pitt kicker. It is not reliable.
