Louisville game day

[Eaglekeeper]

UL has a very inflated opinion of what their ceiling is. Their program is no better than BC, SU, Pitt, GT & UNC. Their ceiling might be VT level, but that's not going to happen in the Atlantic division. 7 out of 10 years the winner of the Atlantic will be either FSU or Clemson. The other 3 years will be split among the rest of the division.

I think most of us know that. But the rest of the teams on the schedule are crap too.

Right now, NC St looks real tough to me.

this is a program that is on the verge of the death penalty for countless violations by both big time programs, the scummiest pair of marquee coaches in college athletics but after their loss the headline: "A new low"

Darius Wade was fine. But he walked into a situation where all he had to do was handoff to AJ Dillon and throw a couple of play actions. I'm fine with whomever starts next week.

If Brown is not 100%, the I think you have to go Wade.

Otherwise, assuming both are healthy, I would give Brown the start but come up with some packages for Wade to run as well (maybe some zone read?). I think we need to keep developing Brown but I also want to win games now and maybe Wade can brings something else to the table. Going 100% to Wade probably would be deflating to Brown so we need to be careful here.

Ithink Daz will start Wade with the excuse that they want to give Brown's shoulder a rest, but he will pull that plug if necessary.

Good win and good that players finally have some fun to celebrate. But to keep it in perspective, that Louisville defense was terrible coming in to this game, and proved just how bad they are. Once the payoffs and hoes were curbed, I guess its easier for them to lose interest.

However, it does appear that once we made the necessitated change at center, the OL does look better. And no one should be surprised at Dillon's performance. Need to look up if this was the top rushing performance by a BC RB. I now Will Green had a moinster performance, just don't know whose is best.

Lastly, I hope this doesn't result in Daz conviction that running Dillon is all we need. Part of the success yesterday was that Louisville was sooo bad especially in their secondary, that a few successful pass plays was all it took to keep them off balance. We'll need that for sustained success against anyone.

[eagletx]

Wade cannot pass accurately from the pocket....he is a roll out QB at best. Those rollou t passes he completed yesterday are the only way he might be effective. That said, that defense was an easy defense to abuse.

Again, I think Dazzler will use excuse that they think it best to rest Brown and let him recover as the reason to try Wade as starter, and to avoid any controversy at that position. Then if Wade miraculously looks real good, he can say he wants to go with the hot hand. Face it, thoughtful rational QB management is not something Daz has demonstrated...more spaghetti against the wall.

[twballgame9]

If Brown is healthy he will play. And probably should at this point so he gets reps as he will be the QB moving forward.

[Supahfan99]

Wade cannot pass accurately from the pocket.

Ok but Brown can't pass accurately from anywhere ... so....

This game and why it is significant to me, whatever you want to take away from the Lville defense, is that this is the first time we saw any semblance of an identity offensively. And we went back to the old days of BC FB with our OL kicking the other team in the fucking teeth and running it down their throats and using our TEs on playaction.

More of this please or whatever they do just form an identity and stick with it.

I have been saying this ever since we tried to go to the running QB. BC has always excelled when we had a huge OL that wore teams down, decent RB and a pocket passer with TE targets. Its not gaudy, but I prefer to win with 5 blocks of granite then lose with anything else.

[twballgame9]

Different era. I agree with kicking people in the teeth but teams that win have QBs that can run.

IMO, what Daz should be doing and what was really innovative was the Tyler Murphy offense. Basically, run a ground game spread but with power blocking and enormous TEs playing WR. A mix of Stanford and Oregon. It is something unique. Something BC could recruit (big OL, good TEs, 1 running QB) and was a bitch to gameplan for. But the arrogant ass didn't want to admit that Day was on to something, so the next year he started the season running pro style with Troy Flutie and an offensive coordinator who wanted to run Leach's Air Raid.

[Eaglekeeper]

Brown looked pretty good running the ball. Neither Wade or Brown will win anything with their arms. BC needs to get yards out of their legs. Both can be very effective in the read option mixed in with short passes to the TE's. This will force the defense to defend both the QB and RB, instead of just loading up to stop the RB. They both suck as pocket passers, we need them to get us 50-75 yards on the ground.

[DuchesneEast]

I think its out of fashion because running QBs mask mistakes. I like running QBs but prefer they are pass 1st. I also think it plays to what we can recruit.

And we can recruit those guys. I think BC can recruit more big TEs that can catch as opposed to speedy WRs.

That 3 TE idiocy is not going to work (and hasn’t for 3 years) against a team that has any interest in defense or tackling. The only difference yesterday was BC found a team who had 0 interest in defense or tackling.

I hope I’m wrong, but there’s no evidence that the game plan yesterday was any different than the same stupid 3 TE nonsense BC has run all year. The difference was the opponent.

True. Though it was nice to see some productive offense after 3 years of futility, it all has to be tempered by the fact that that was a terrible defensive team that easily and clearly lost interest,focus and disciple playing for a miserable coach and program. Gritty is certainly a word that those Louisville players are completely unfamiliar.

[twballgame9]

Nothing like solving the 1920s offense by suggesting a 1970s offense replace it.
