My oldest grandson's birthday is tomorrow but having birthday party today. Braylen came by last night to ask me if I'm coming, I said here's a $100 dollars happy birthday. He said thanks gave me a hug and said I love you pop. I said of course you do.I know a cotton headed 5 yo kid, who was supposed to be at Soaky Mtn for his Bday.
It better rain. (Dad outside doing rain dance).
Doggy probablySo I'm rewatching NCSU's WCU game. They sat back in zone quite a bit. Was this practicing their scheme for UT or were they just keeping it vanilla in a game they expected to walk through?
I'm not sure which would be a worse plan. Do you sit back in zone and try to make us march down the field? If so, you're just asking us to pick you apart. I half suspect that's what they'll do, since we had red zone problems last year. But I don't expect red zone problems this year. I suspect if they sit back in zone, it creates a lot of space for us to run the ball and get some YAC in the short pass game. Then again, the only way to stop this offense has been to play man press at the LOS and get our WRs off their routes.
So... I'm also not sure they can match up with our receivers if they try to go cover 0,1 and man up. With no/little safety help over the top, I think we go deep on them all day. Also, Nico's legs become a factor if they go into man coverage and try to shake him with blitzes.
Here they sit back in Cover 3. Look at the cushion. It was an easy pitch and catch for 10 yards or so.

Here they play man in what looks like a Cover 1, and their guy gets beat across the middle for ~ 25 yards... Against WCU.

Which poison do they pick?
Outside of our DL, I think Telander/Pili are gonna be the story on defense - & Gibson/McCoy/B Carter too. I think our defensive back end is tougher than they've gotten credit for so far. . . ing i'm right.I’m thinking Tennessee wins 45-24 today and NC State slices up the backers and secondary but in the end Rodney Garners talented front is too much and McCall turns it over as a result
That is Rashaun Gaulden giving Herman Lathers a tackling lesson.More of what NC State got last time is in store. Much more. Let's go, D!

That sounds about right....of course, the wish is that our secondary is somewhat improved.I’m thinking Tennessee wins 45-24 today and NC State slices up the backers and secondary but in the end Rodney Garners talented front is too much and McCall turns it over as a result
