Watch this.......The end of EKU vs Central Ark last night.........I know nobody cares about these "little" schools, but this is worth watching

amazing and controversial. Watch the clock when UCA gets the ball back.


Never would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. That was at least 5 or 6 seconds that they were given as a gift.

I'm stating their philosophy, which they are upfront about, not saying I agree with it. It's not just CJH; it's the entire staff.

It puts UT at a crossroads-- adapt or dig in harder.
Oof.

We only have about 4 billion years worth of evidence that shows what happens to that which fails to adapt.

I hope they adapt.

Here I go........sorry........

IF the clock had been running......no time left for the Hail Mary. EKU wins and Austin Peay wins UAC Conference Championship outright and gets the Automatic bid to the playoffs.
Now.......next weeks game vs Central Ark decides the auto qualifier.:mad:


That's homecooking like I've never seen before.
 
I've listed the games that were significant. We still have 2 more this year. I'm not including year one because I would expect him to be worse year one. The improvement from year 2 to 3 is negligible or non- existent. You need numbers on paper to tell you how to think. I don't. This defense is no better than last year.
To be fair, there are numbers that account for SOS as well which you’ve raised as a concern.

ESPN efficiency has us up from #44 to #22 this year. Similar metrics across the board from SP+ and others.

The defense has really struggled since Hadden went out and those numbers will come back to earth a little bit, but the defense was really really good earlier in the year.
 
I wouldn’t mind replacing Martinez. He has a knack for turning sub par players into draft picks, but they still underwhelm in college and I don’t know that he’s a great recruiter.

I’d love to see a young coach like maybe Boston college db coach. But at the same time, number one priority is they got to be able to bring in elite talent. Maybe we should try to poach a db coach from a uga or bama and see if they’d do it for a pay raise.

I’m not ready for Tim banks to go. But yesterday was a head scratcher. How do you perform so poorly at every level of the defense? Running lanes were wide open, linebackers out of position, dbs out of position and missing tackles left and right.

And i still can’t figure out why we didn’t blitz often, that should be our identity even if we give up a few big plays here and there, because we’ll also create enough negative plays and turnovers to make up for them. But We are not good enough to play base defense and zone and try to keep everything in front of us. It leads to us playing soft and then a d2 rb has a record breaking day against us and all of a sudden we have no momentum or ability to make big plays to get our offense back on the field.
All of his draft picks that everyone claims to defend Martinez have performed better in the NFL than in college which is mind blowing. His NFL record to me proves how he holds his talent back as a coach.

I think we’re close to. I truly believe we have a scheme problem on defense and a QB issue this year. But Heupel promised Joe this year and he is getting it. Nico changes the whole
Offense because he is not limited. Chances are coming on the other side and I think we will see drastic improvement.
If that truly is why Milton has played over Nico then I may need to rethink Heupel.

You play the best players. Screw playing time by “seniority”. That’s one of the things that started Fulmer’s undoing.
 
Sure… went 9-1 with an orange bowl win.
9-1 with an all sec schedule is better than 11-2 with 8 sec games
Bruh they played 3 ranked teams all season (and this was when half of football wasn't playing half of the season, so even that is inflated) and many teams were full of opt-outs 🤣

We played 6 🤣

On Vipleague? Hmm, never seen that. Im watching it there right now.
I've used it before-- no problem. Today, I go to the game and click on the feed and it directs me to a live stream sign-in page. So I do the drill, then it clicks me over to a page with free promo offers, which is an endless cycle of that. Never seen it do this.
 
No they are not. They are not in that good a shape.
Kellie needs to recruit the females that look like pugs/bulldogs in the face. Recruiting the women that wear makeup, care about how they look during the game annoys the **** of me.

Maybe I’m looking too much into it, but still recruit the girls that look like they got beat up by a bouncer at a club…

What is the take with the Nico situation? Is he going to be as good as advertised? Or should we be concerned the offense next year might be just as rough?
He is as good as advertised and that will only matter if we build an OL capable of protecting him. Need to make quick and productive use of the portal this year.
