We will need and get more offense later this season; but still, Dwyer getting 108 against BC was a nice accomplishment.:biggthumpup:

I feel better about going to VT now.
 
Does it seem to anyone else that when he goes up the middle he never lifts his head up and just runs in a straight line until he hits something?

Not sure that charging up the middle with your head up is all that healthy. I get your point though, it is as if he is charging blindly.
 
He hits that hole hard. All that talk about him always wanting to bounce it outside is history.
 
We're getting better. We need to learn how to hold onto the football. Melton's(?) I think it was was inexcusable. Totin' a loaf of bread. Fumbles can kill this offense. They are VERBOTEN!

Our snapper/holder team needs to be fired and directed to CBC @ Georgia State. My two baby Sisters are available.

Nice second half. Way to go, TECH! Great win!!

Sometimes you coach a guy to run for the hole, he looks for it, doesn't see it and goes outside. Sometimes you just tell a guy where to charge, or where the hole is supposed to be. That may be the difference, or it could be he has just matured a little as a runner.
 
You might almost say that he 'ran like a caveman'.

Awesome commentators, awesome.

But yeah, he was pretty amazing. I would have his babies if i hadn't already promised that to Calvin Johnson and Jarrett Jack...and I wasn't a guy...
 
He also averaged 6 yards per carry... 18 carries for 108 is just sweet.
 
They said you can't run against Boston College.

You can't, unless your running back is a caveman.

In the TO, it's the QB's job to make the read. Dwyer is just supposed to run. He has to get past the front line, THEN make his read.
 
We need better play out of our inner line. Once that happens, and it will, 108 for Dwyer is going to be a bad day.

While keeping his head down he's saying a prayer and hoping against hope that something opens up the middle for him. So far this season...not much up the middle.

This is actually an improvement. In the Spring Game, Dwyer was running up the middle and dancing and juking too much. He needed to take a lesson from Kyle Eckel and just run like an effin battering ram. That's how a B-back is supposed to do it. If he makes it past the first wave, his speed will take him the rest of the way. On the one run he broke through the middle did you see the way people were peeling off of him like his shirt was made of grease?
 
Every long run up the middle he has made, I've sat (or stood) with my jaw dropped. How he stays up while being hit the way he has been is an awesome site.
 
JD is a bit sore. Tomorrow will be a much needed day of rest for him.
 
In high school, JD ran outside all the time because a) he had the speed to do so and b) you don't get clobbered running outside. Running up the gut is not in his DNA yet but he's willing to do what the coaches tell him to do.

Once he embraces running up the middle, which I figure will happen around game 7 or so, hold onto your hat buddy.
