Take a second here at half time to mention this...

Really interesting decisions coming up. For those who like the technical side of football, their O is basically playing chess with us. The wide splits had hurt us earlier in the season and we didn't come out of our base D and coverages. Instead, we relied on the opponent's self-destruction. So, Wake is just using our own inflexibility against us.

For all those who want to say football is about athletes and motivation (psychology, etc.) and Xs and Os are for the birds, our athletes and their focus are completely out of rhythm because they're in poor position. There are two primary ways those wide splits work consistently. We're currently providing them the easy way.
 
If Im not mistaken, outside the play to Waters, every first down UM ran the ball( and with very little success)

And Duke is taking another pounding. I just don't understand what Coley is trying to accomplish

We'll they sure made it look easy. We'll see how we adjust.
 
We better wake the f8Ck up. We are making these guys look like a powerhouse. I mean this is a 4-3 team and we are at home. There is NO excuse for this sh*t. Two weeks in a row now.

FSU is going to push our sh*t in in EPIC fashion if we dont find a way to get it together. **** if we dont get this game under control, we are going to blow our whole season.

When you refuse to shoot the gaps given to you because that's not what you do + play mostly zone behind it, the weaknesses of going 3'-5' splits are nullified. So, all you have left are the advantages: clear passing lanes, edge pass rush is basically irrelevant, more room to operate the zone-read and zone schemes.

Toss a LB in an A gap, bring down the SS to the LBs spot, and mix in man on the outside. I know people will mention the Burns play, but he wasn't roasted. The kid just isn't completely comfortable with the ball in the air. He misjudged and played the ball with his wrong arm (short arm).

Playing some defense with the offense? Plus, Mo isn't exactly inspiring confidence in people with his play. He's made 2 plays this half (one because a guy he never throws to made a remarkable play), we're down 4, within one score.

Seriously I think Winston will drop 60 on us. I'm scared, **** if Fisher gives no *****, they might drop 70.
 
At the end of the day, IMO DOnofrio is an average DC. Guy is not particularly good, but he's not as terrible as last year suggested either. We rely on better athletes and mistakes by the other team, but he certainly takes a LONG time to adjust, leading us to have to be playing from behind constantly against even mediocre teams. This simply will not do when we face FSU or VT. Its barely working against mediocre teams.

We better get this sh*t straight and FAST.

See if we can adjust and turn this around.
 
Hopefully that was what Morris needed to get his mind right. And start to get a rhythm.
 
When you hav a specialized DL as most hybrid teams do, u are prone to games like this on D.

We don't have the type of get up the field DL to negate the wide splits. The scheme isn't as critical as our lack of multi-dimensional linemen.
