Courier-Journal: Petrino a Master Counterpuncher

Advertisement
The counter punch is where we have shown to be weak and where Petrino has shown to be strong. It's my greatest concern for this upcoming Monday.
 
You're going to see 475 shallow crosses which in the past have been the death of our defense. Petrino's offense is efficient and you have to think he's watering at the mouth from the tape he's seen of our schematical approach from prior years.

If there was ever a moment for Onfrio to have an epiphany and switch up from that passive cover 3....it's this game. If you don't mix it up against this cat he'll tear us apart, regardless of who the QB is.
 
Omg Fuuuuck Petrino. I keep seeing everyone praise him. I don't care if he was Bear Bryant, he is our opponent this week. He gets no love from me.

Porsters keep taking about how our D better be ready and all this other **** ****. Petrino and Louisville better be ready for Duke to shove his palm down their throats.
 
Just get it in your head now.. We gonna give up yards.. a ton of yards.

Unless AG and MD changed things that we don't currently know about.

I think we are going to have to depend on turnovers and QB pressure. We will give up a lot of yards. Hopefully we limit them on the ground, but 350-400 yards is not out of the question through the air. I think we will win offensive special teams, not sure about our kicking game yet for field position. Run the ball on offense to help out Brad and give us some TOP and score TD in the red zone, not field goals. We will have our hands full with this offense.

And there's the rub. Relying on turnovers that may never happen is a recipe for giving up a lot of points. And I can't remember the last time we had a defense that consistently put pressure on the QB. It certainly hasn't happened under D'Onofrio's watch.

I agree with the F- Petrino...but caution is fair.

While we had no Duke of course, we were decimated last year by the same squad with a defensive guru at the helm. Pretty fair to be concerned when they bring back a notoriously stellar offensive coach. We get pressure on their new QB, much like they plan to do to ours...and stop the run, we should be good.

IMO we will see a much more aggressive defense from Dno. He is extremely intelligent, maybe too much so for the true freshman we've had to depend on and the experienced players we had to use that wouldn't make it passed scout team anywhere else. I believe he had no choice but to run that BS damage control defense the past 3 yrs. Now insert a much more experienced and developed AQM, McCord, Perryman, Grace, Thomas, Jackson, Carter, Burns, Elder, Howard, Gunter, Owens, Dallas, Antonio, Kirby, Hertelou, Jenkins and Whyche in place of Cornelius, Gaines, Highsmith, Rodgers, Robinson, Renfrow, Porter....Dno has to be salivating at the markedly improved experience, speed and physicality. This year's defense should be completely different or Dno MUST go!

It's a big issue, hopefully Petrino is at a bit of a disadvantage without Parker, and our defense is better prepared this season. I haven't seen tape on Gardner, is he mobile at all?

I doubt it. That used to work easily when we were in underneath man coverage. Cover 3 would actually work decently well against some of those crossing routes, as we'd have 4 (or even 5 if we rush 3 guys) underneath defenders. Where I'm scared for this game is up the seams, against the run from the spread formation and flooded zones.

Again, I expect us to be ok (relatively speaking) for the better part of the 1st half. It's what happens when we run out of preconceived attacks that I am concerned about. Unless, of course, we've changed our style of play/approach.

If we're up going into halftime I think we win. If we're down. Then I'm scared. Golden doesn't seem to prep the team well coming out of the half when losing. Record shows, yet I am fairly opportunistic when it comes to this season if healthy. I think we start the season with a big bang like last season against Florida but we actually put on a performance on both sides of the ball equally.
