None yet. I think Napier will comment today.Any news on Carrol? He looked good in the open practice.
From last night:Any news on Carrol? He looked good in the open practice.
Matt Corral not EmoryWould’ve set up so nicely for that random Emory series, or Trask QB power play.
The ebbs & flows of last year were annoying and prove hard on trying to establish an identity for a program. A first year coach thrust into the toughest conference in CFB. A quarterback given the keys to the offense who proved to be wildly inconsistent. Players who were feeling out the new coaching staff and either were buying in or transferring out.And in the midst of in season game planning laying the foundation for the recruitment & signing of the 2023 class. Napier is aware of the challenges of the seat he occupies & has hired a staff support him. Recruits are buying what he is selling and at this point in time so am I. This season I'm looking for a team identity & an improvement of in game decision making.The frustration of last year was winning against Utah, then losing to Ky, almost losing to USF, battling along as expected and catching some momentum at A&M, destroying SC then collapsing with losses to Vandy and f$u. I won’t bother with the depleted bowl game squad.
Win or playing well in a loss vs. Utah, I’d like to see consistency and resilience, evidence the culture is different and that the roster is better in talent and effort. I think/hope things are different. Let’s see it manifested on the field.
To his credit, Billy did try to warn us, after the Utah game we kinda just ignored his warningsThe ebbs & flows of last year were annoying and prove hard on trying to establish an identity for a program.

So without Carrol, we are three deep at RB? I know staff tried to shore up RB but that is one position we are not deep. Hope Carrol's injury is minimal, temporary, and the care taken on field was precautionary.None yet. I think Napier will comment today.
I’d like to see sufficient pressure from 4. He’ll disguise who the 4th is much of the time, but I hope he doesn’t overuse bringing the house - and dammit get there when you do. When you don’t get there? That’s how 3rd & Grantham happens.Dont think we'll see much dropping with the 4.8 Safeties gone.
That said, If AA doesnt blitz Utah's QB (whether its the starter on 1 leg or the backup whos inexperienced) into submission ill be very disappointed.
Our front 7 will decide if we are a 6 win team or a 8 win team
4 deep. You’re missing Jr. transfer Jakobi Jackson.So without Carrol, we are three deep at RB? I know staff tried to shore up RB but that is one position we are not deep. Hope Carrol's injury is minimal, temporary, and the care taken on field was precautionary.
Ok, I may have worded that wrong, I dont want blitzing every down, mainly just sayin dont throw the kitchen sink at our offense in the SG then go to Utah and get scared.I’d like to see sufficient pressure from 4.

I see this as good and bad. Could be them just running a base offense but don't think for a second that this will carry us through the season....see 2011 where fat ass had Brantley throwing left and right to the RB's through the first 4 games and then teams caught on....We need a consistent downfield passing game or the 3rd down offense will go to sh!t against the big boys.6. RBs were heavily targeted in the pass game.
Out for the seasonNone yet. I think Napier will comment today.
SOB. Feel for him. We know he wanted to show up.
Injuries will play a huge role in how our front 7 performs. This is a brutal schedule and we are young behind the starters.Our front 7 will decide if we are a 6 win team or a 8 win team
Just the way you.......nevermindInjuries will play a huge role in how our front 7 performs. This is a brutal schedule and we are young behind the starters.
