Brent Venables

Venables owns CPJ. It's hard to say it, but it is true. I seem to remember running numbers one time and finding that CPJ's offensive output against Venables was way lower than any other repeat DC he faces, including Foster and Clemson in the pre-Venables era. I have a lot of respect for the guy. He gets his players to play smart and mean defense against the TO.

Using that metric, who does Venables not own? Has to be a short list.

Or, to put it differently, CPJ is 1-5 against Clemson since the guy that hired him quit to work there instead.

Kinda sucks. (But I gotta say, much happier having a former GT football player as our AD than DRad. It's weird but we haven't had a likable AD in a long while, and we finally do.)

I liked DRad; but maybe not everything he did. I liked Homer Rice too. I have never met TStan; but don't have reason not to like him. I never even saw MBob; but I don't miss him.
 
They probably pay more just for their DC than we pay our entire assistant coaching staff combined. Their entire 2 deep will play in the NFL. Their players live in a Club Med style resort built specifically for football players, and don't go to class.

There is no objective reason why we should ever beat them again, 3o or no 3o. They're simply playing a different entire game than we are, at an institutional level. People need to get this into their ööööing heads.

The only reason David beat Golliath was because GOD HELPED.

"The Recent History of Everything That Has Been Certain About The Future Until It Wasn't" is probably going to be the name of my autobiography. I feel like, the more everyone analyzes this one out of our reach, the less surprised I'd be to see us win.

Things are more like they are now than they have ever been in the past.

I think you mean, "The Recent History of Everything That Has Been Certain About the Future Until it Wasn't" is certainly going to be the name of my autobiography.

We've beaten teams with great, talented, large D-lines. But the offense has to be executing near perfect. We havent had much consistency in that department in a while.

And we don't get much help from our offensive line staff. When the other side recruits better, coaches better, and plays better, it makes for a tough afternoon. The sad part is it isn't just Clempsen anymore. Half the teams on our schedule have better athletes that are being prepared better.

Need great, talented, large o-line to beat a great, talented, large d-line. The entire offense is predicated on the ability to use the threat of multiple attacks to create a man advantage. If a d-line can blow up an option (e.g. stop the dive), then that threat is gone. Alternatively, if d-linemen can beat blocks and demand multiple blockers, the man advantage is gone.

And you must be able to pass effectively to help sell your option game. We haven't been able to pass, so we end up in terrible down and distance situations, and run qb keepers, or Bback dives when it is third and 8. The inability to make first downs, puts our out gunned defense on the field too much, the defense wears down, and we lose. Even if Nate Woody is the next Buddy Ryan, if we can't control time of possession it will be a disappointing season.

Bruh. You were 5 points shy of making ACCCG and everyone is better than you? Get the öööö outa here with that stupid bullshit.

A big part of the reason Roof is gone and Woody is here is time of possession. My understanding is that CPJ wants a defense that gets off the field, either by making the stop, or less preferably by letting the other team score quickly. CPJ wants his offense on the field developing a rhythm wearing down the other team's defense while the opposing offense chills on the sideline. With Roof's defense it was too often our offense chilling on the sideline while the opposing offense developed a rhythm. Roof's defense had its moments, it won us the Pitt game last year, but it wasn't a good fit for what CPJ wants to do. More succinctly, no more bend but don't break defense.

Our paltry passing game last year had more to do with personnel than the offensive philosophy.

Not everyone, just half of the teams we play. And in some years, Duke and Virginia. And this year you can throw in South Florida.
