The secondary

This is his 1st year and had he been here for winter conditioning and the spring game, the secondary would be light years from where they are now. New cat, new way of teaching and Butler's teaching is far Coopers was. Butler's teaching pro style techniques with a pro style scheme and our safties are running in 2 different schemes at the same time. Cooper just resigned back in July and Butler got here the 1st part of August and didn't even have a full month with them the before the 1st game and kinda hard to pick up a new scheme/s on the fly no matter haow good a player or players are. Next year, the secondary will be light years better!
I'm willing to buy that. That's a theory that will be tested next year. If the secondary doesn't look significantly better next year, then Butler needs to be sent packing.

The secondary

It's hard to make sense. Other than Cooper nothing else has really changed. My guess is they (Rhule/White) have allowed Butler to have a bit of a say in how they play on the back end coverage wise and quite frankly it's been to the detriment of the defense as a whole.

I love those guys and all they have put in time wise but I'm ready for every secondary guy playing significant minutes NOT named Wright to move on. Step slow, missed tackles, blown coverage. Whatever weaknesses they had last year was hid or masked well with Coop as coach. I know Butlers resume but color me not impressed year one with anything I seen from him.

That all said we are going bowling and that's a great thing. Hope like hell they move on from those older guys who wanna come back like Buford. My guess is they won't tho... especially with his brother still being here.

We did lose our best corner to graduation. That was huge. Hill’s injury played a big factor as well. Gifford has been very inconsistent and a couple of his mental mistakes have cost us chunk plays. Javin Wright made some good plays yesterday.

Where has this offense been?

It has all been mental this year as evidenced by the poor play calling and execution by the players. What we did to Wisconsin yesterday coupled with what I called which was an tOSU thumping of Indiana. This just proves, our game against them was nothing more than a fluke. When things are operating properly, you can see a teams actual talent which we have planty of and speed which we have plethora of on both sides of the ball. We'd be 10-1 or undefeated right now.

We got fk'd badly at Ohio St in a game that was ours and people wanna know what our playing ceiling is, just just look to tOSU. We humiliated the Buckeyes offense on their own field holding them to still season low's across the board and the O was still able to move the ball on them with Satt at the helm and there was no way in hell those officials were gonna let the Buckeyes lose that game. If you wanna get real, Illinois, tOSU, UCLA and USC were most definitely ours and the losse were ALL on the offense.

The Blackshirts gave them chance after chance after chance in every one of those games to win it and outside very poor officiating, the offense like clockwork shit all over themselves. With what we saw yesterday with the O, we win all of the games it lost for us! The Blackshirts have been the futhest things with the problems of this team this year and as it the O with an unending bout of mental retardation until yesterday.
I like it. So much easier to read and follow.

I have no idea why the Hawks are favored.

You defense has played well this year and that is when we have trouble running the ball. You have a great defensive line, and it will depend on if K Johnson gets any holes to run through. Now, I am not sure how good your linebackers are at tackling, but when he has a hole a lot of LB are bouncing off him. This is why he gets so many extra yards.

The Hawks have to be able to run the ball, to keep your offense off the field. Our defense plays better not being out there all day.

I am hoping for a good game but could be a long day for the Hawks if we cannot run the ball. Nice win against the Badgers and Creighton as well.

Hope for no injuries.
