I DON'T like Louisville. Like some have already stated, my hate stems from that OB game. Fuck that fan base.
I think if we lost a starting wideout Keshawn Williams would absolutely blow up that game. That dude is going to be good.
Louisville had an 83-yard kickoff return to our 15 to start the second half, and they scored a TD on the next play. This after Newman ended the first half with a red zone interception. Maggio also had a 31-yard punt from our 15 to set up a Louisville field goal. Miserable game.
Yeah that's why I said more than one. Roberson is probably our most talented player and I think we'd be fine offensively if he went down. That certainly wasn't true for Sage Surratt.
Yeah, it's depth and also style of play. Newman threw a lot of jump balls to Sage and didn't have someone else who could replace that ability. Sam relies on finding the open man, and we have multiple guys that get open regularly.
This is a much better team.
Clawson said in the press conference yesterday that no defensive player played more than 60 snaps against UVA. Having the ability to rotate like that against a high level offense will only help us avoid injuries later in the season (see: 2019)
Do you think it's a better team because of the talent level or because of the depth? I think it's mostly the depth. I don't think you can make an argument that we have more talented offensive starters now than we did in 2019, and while the defense probably has fewer weak spots in the starting lineup I think there were plenty of really good players on that defense. The main defense is that there's a lot more serviceable players in the 2 deep now than there was in 2019 on both sides of the ball.

Of course one reason the coaches are able to rotate is that they're playing with a solid lead.
14, I think the talent is comparable or better and there's more depth. I also think Hartman in 2021 runs a more efficient offense than Hartman or Newman did in 2019, although Newman obviously compensated by making plays with his feet. I can't tell you much about defensive schemes, but this defense looks like a nightmare for QBs. The secondary is obviously improved.
Dude, I have been in this situation before.
I usually drive like some angry dad in a mini-van and somehow arrive by kickoff. But it is not pretty...
