I just don't understand his 2021 season!

Also last year vs Cuse seemed like players were constantly getting schemed open, do they have a talent base that we don't? Or are people getting open but we don't know bc qb can't find em?

9/9/2023 6:44:26 PM

^yes. I know it’s not all gonna be perfect after 2 games. But not loving it so far. I wanted immediate improvement dammit

9/9/2023 9:23:38 PM

fold the season. we looked sloppy not in the right place and not organized.

gonna be a long season.

Georgia St beast Uconn worse than State.

A very mild silver lining for our CBs?

"Notre Dame QB Sam Hartman threw for 286 yards against NC State, and 247 of those yards were to a slot receiver, tight end or a running back. He completed 1 pass to an outside receiver."

ND is the best team we’ll play all year. We were toe to toe with them for 3 quarters. We aren’t gonna go 10-2 this year, that much seems obvious. But I don’t think it’s fair to act like we completely suck.

9/10/2023 12:29:39 PM

^^ nice it’s something to build off of for sure, and it keeps our streak alive of not allowing a QB to throw for more than 100 yards to outside receivers at home during noon games televised nationally that are delayed by a storm where lightning hits our scoreboard after starting the season 1-0 on the road while wearing our red uniforms starting a transfer quarterback with a new OC.

9/10/2023 1:56:56 PM

Hell yea

9/10/2023 1:59:36 PM

Yeah, can't be too upset when 21 points were off explosive fluke plays and we gave them two/three turnovers within the 30. Obviously any game will look better if you just take away all the bad, but we can clean up some of that. Offense is still not on the same page, but the WRs we brought in (Collins, Rozner) were getting chances.

CBs aren't the problem with the defense, it's the LBs.

"explosive fluke plays"

lol. Not a fluke that we've given up gigantic run plays in both games

9/10/2023 2:19:22 PM

it’s a fluke when it happens to us, tho

"NC State in the first 3-quarters of play yesterday only allowed 15 “successful” plays for a success rate of 69%, which would’ve finished top-10 on the week. In the 4th Quarter NC State’s defense gave up TEN successful plays. The lack of success on O finally caught up to the D."

True

9/10/2023 9:48:49 PM

That game was a mess. Weather was pretty wild; in the 25 years since I started going to Pack games I've never heard the emergency sirens to vacate the area. The lightning (especially during tailgating) was insane. Was the first time I left the grounds during a game, and then return for what ended up being a horrible horrible second half. Gah.

9/11/2023 8:42:38 AM

Starting Safety Jakeen Harris out for the year

9/11/2023 1:18:07 PM

Not starting safety anymore

9/11/2023 1:59:50 PM

9/11/2023 2:04:04 PM

He was also injured 3 plays into the UConn game soo....

9/11/2023 2:22:05 PM

So how worried should we be that UConn lost to Georgia State 35-14?

9/11/2023 6:46:58 PM

[old] but also not very

9/11/2023 6:49:42 PM

Transitive property is notably accurate across all college sports

9/11/2023 9:12:21 PM

^^ well shit, my b

^ Yes and no. Of course you can use it to say dumb crap like SD Mines has a natty over Bama or something farcical like that, but there is value in comparing the numbers, so long as you don't take them too seriously. For example, I didn't watch, but I'd bet the reason UConn looked so bad was that GAST was running a time-control, triple-option game (or I know they at least used to... not up on my Sun Belt offensive schemes... shame...) and maybe turned the ball over. But there could've been more to it than that, idk, I was hoping someone had more info

[Edited on September 12, 2023 at 9:02 AM. Reason : or maybe Georgia State's just good, that's also an option]

9/12/2023 9:00:13 AM

We were UConn’s Super Bowl

9/12/2023 9:30:52 AM

I mean i don't know about GSt but uconn was our first game with basically a whole new offense. Let's take the win and hope that they will improve as they play together more and young skill position players mature/lock in.

9/12/2023 9:49:53 AM

UConn also played Georgia State on Road

VMI is hopefully a get right game to get us ready for ACC play

9/13/2023 9:53:57 AM

UConn starting QB was injured in thr 1st Q vs Ga State. He’s out for the year. Not sure how much that matters but probably worth considering when trying to look at their results.

9/14/2023 6:15:04 AM

Hope we win today

9/16/2023 11:59:30 AM

How would G State match up against vmi

9/16/2023 12:40:14 PM

Pitt - Cincy was the first (and so far only) game on CW right?

So we could have the prestigious honor of being the first ACC team to win on the CW. This could be huge for recruiting.

9/16/2023 1:34:19 PM

Lol at the constant yellow Liberty ad on the score graphic on CW. Looking like there’s a flag on every play. Football graphics should simply use less yellow (except when they’re actually is a flag). Seems obvious.

9/16/2023 2:13:11 PM

I wasn’t expecting much but I’m not mad about the game on CW. At least it’s over the air and not CBSSN. Commentators are fine

9/16/2023 2:44:57 PM

Nc state players to watch on defense , Davin Vann and Caden Forham!


(somebody typoed a 10 instead of an 11 and play by play guys went with it or didn't notice)

I, uh, don’t really know how good State’s new N&O beat writer is. Good job VMI for making more tackles than State when you’ve been on defense for 2x the plays as State’s defense.

9/16/2023 3:23:26 PM

I think the refs are throwing pity flags for VMI

9/16/2023 4:15:09 PM

McMahon out

9/16/2023 4:31:06 PM

Whole tf is Ethan Rhodes? Morris not playing to preserve a redshirt?

9/16/2023 5:01:06 PM

he's a pro-style QB, a preferred walk-on redshirt freshman

9/16/2023 5:03:00 PM

No reason to play Morris in a completely meaningless game when he could be needed in real games and still redshirt. Would hate for him to have to burn another attempted redshirt year if Armstrong got injured with liked 4 games left in the year. Our QB depth behind him is dreadfully thin, so not really a surprise that a walk-on played. Only other scholarship QB is a guy with zero other offers who is a true freshman (and like Finley probably given a scholarship because of his brothers more than his talent)

9/16/2023 5:44:34 PM

Did Bradley Rozner get a reverse Michael Jackson procedure?

9/19/2023 7:33:15 PM

Not that there’s anything wrong with that

9/19/2023 9:06:02 PM

The “plan” is to save MJs redshirt games till the very end of the season and let the other guys get garbage time.

Once the last four games come then they turn the reins over to MJ to be the starter.

Yes. Like Justin already said a week ago and has been pretty obvious all along.

Quote :

We’ll see. I doubt they just make him the starter. Makes sense to get him reps. I don’t buy that the plan is to definitely start him the last 4 games no matter what

9/20/2023 10:26:51 AM

Didn't there used to be a thread where predictions/prognostications like that would be posted for posterity?

9/20/2023 11:30:10 AM

Yeah lol if he was going to be made the starter to end the year, they would just start him now and let him be the starter!

9/20/2023 12:46:59 PM

You start the guy who gives you the best chance to win. DD has his faults, but I don’t think he’s that stupid.

9/20/2023 1:36:44 PM

I read that first sentence in Herm Edwards' voice

-Doeren, the 2nd best source on this topic (behind jt3)

Also I think mj re.....Xed (??) the X (??) that had this quote saying trust the process, so I guess he's on board until the LSU nil comes through.

9/21/2023 11:11:16 AM

Houston is redshirting this year apparently.

https://twitter.com/PackFootball/status/1704880666792661323

Probably makes sense with how much better the younger RBs have been performing.
