  1. This was a feature of our defense before PK. I know y'all want to play everything on the coach that has been here for less than a year, but these aren't new problems for us. We expect a lot of defenders and when they are inexperienced, it tends to lead to problems. I just don't see how any of this is Akina's fault. When the experienced guys play, our coverage is much tighter.
  2. Bigger issue will be how the line handles it. If we pick up blitzes at least well enough to prevent immediate pressure, I'm comfortable that Arch can handle it (unless bad Arch returns). The coordination at the line was so much better against Vanderbilt than anything we've seen all season.
  3. A known commodity with a strong history of constantly developing NFL and Thorpe winning DBs. I just don't see anything different here than what we saw with young players in PK's defense early on. Our linebackers are struggling with depth. This happened before. Our safeties are struggling with their responsibilities. We've seen this before. And we are struggling with communication on the back end. This we've seen before. All of these things can get fixed with experience. Having so many young players out there end up meaning that someone is always messing up.
  4. Not giving him any credit for developing those NFL players is a choice.
  5. The same people blaming Akina today were blaming Gideon in 2023. We've seen this playout with PK's defense twice now. When the linebackers and secondary are young/inexperienced, there are a lot of holes and coverage busts. Once we get them trained up, those go away. I think we ask our defenders to do a lot in terms of understanding the overall defense. That leads to hesitation and mistakes early on. But when players get it, it works really well and creates a very flexible and capable defense. And the hate of Akina is ridiculous generally. Using the fact that he has consistently put DBs into the NFL against him is crazy. He clearly knows how to teach the position, although with a specialty in man-coverage. We probably could and should have run more man coverage against Vanderbilt at the end. But I think we put a lot on emphasis on players learning during a game. And if they don't rep it in a live game, they don't get the experience necessary to learn what to do and what not to do.
  6. McCutcheon did. I don't think Filsaime did. He went out on the 4th and 19 play. Even if he had recovered enough to play, I'm not sure how he would have time to get back out there.
  7. Baxter just hasn't been effective this year. He goes down instantly.
  8. Ian or Sark?
  9. Disney seems to be forgetting that part of the advantage of its deal with the bundled providers is that it gets money for a lot of subscribers that aren't interested in the sports content. It'll need to have more than 6x its current ESPN/Disney subscriber base to get the same revenue at anywhere near its current prices. I honestly don't think that is terribly realistic.
  10. Yeah, the announcers being completely clueless, and the replay cutting off was absolutely wild at the time.
  11. Whatever you say.
  12. I am a lawyer. I gave you the picture and the video. It isn't possible for the ball to have crossed. That's just how the world works. I'd walk it through you in slow motion if you were on the stand. The sky view is conclusive that the ball is moving forward until after it crosses in the front of the pylon.
  13. Idiots can dispute anything. The ball is moving forward until after it crosses the pylon. It never touches the pylon. What it does after that is irrelevant. To a reasonable and objective observer, the video evidence is conclusive that it did not cross the goal line.
  14. Doesn't happen. Watch the overhead video. The ball is moving forward right up until the player lands out of bounds.
  15. (1) no, he didn't, and (2) because I can watch the video and see the ball is always moving forward up until he falls out of bounds. Here is when he started to stretch: Ball still moving forward: Still moving forward and crossing in front of the pylon: You can see the same from the other angle, the ball keeps moving forward as he stretches right up until it crosses in front of the pylon. Here is the moment it starts to cross: And one moment later it has crossed and you can see it is ever so slightly closer, but still not past the pylon (which we know because it didn't touch it):
