Congrats to the Team. They handled Central, gave some guys a run and played better. Fowler looked good and the play calling was creative. RBU is getting oiled up. The pass rush had their QB rushing. Now its time for the League.

When was the last time the OL and DL had as much depth as was displayed last night?

The more he plays and is not producing, the more he is hurting his chances to go to the next level. If he's hurt, sit him and let him get well. If it's not an injury then that raises a whole set of other questions. But I agree, I wish a journalist would ask. I would say don't bring the subject. Let it play out. (pun intended). Because any answer that Coach gives, other than "he will be fine", will hurt his chances in the future. Remember, He is not a Pro. He is a Student trying to become one. Lastly, if he can go", then let him go/play. His sacrifice to come back is reason enough. Imagine us going into this season with a new QB, Mac turning Pro, ect and not Martin to show the new backs how it's done here at RBU. ( Like Tarik - Cartwright and others did.) Martin is showing us "Pride", and we don't even know it. Two years down the road, when the truth comes out, we will tip our caps, (like Kobe hitting those FT's on a torn Achilles). So for now, Boost this young Brother, who helped to get us Titles. Ijs. Martin is not ready period. Nothing more then the truth is going to hurt his chances moving. forward to the next level . Pride and moral victories will not get him to the next level . What ever the reason the truth should be told . If he is not ready physically coach should sit him down and let him heal until he is at least 90% of his old self . His future is about Production not Instruction . And his production is WANTING at this moment but this is about the game not Martin. Great Win Aggies 🏆 Respect.

I kept posting all last week, beating central can essentially be fool's gold, and we need to take it for what it is. Looking back at game, central not once went with tempo as both furman and Duke did. Which I attribute to talent on the field and in the booth.
Notice even in the above condensed clip how many incomplete passes to open receivers from central's QB and there was no pressure. I hate to say it but except for the SCSU game, we won't see the same caliber talent.
The reason you were able to see all those DL rotations is again because central wanted to change personnel on just about each snap.
*** This is not be breaking news to some but a little inside football or football 101...
On offense if you change personnel by rule the defense is allowed the opportunity to match those changes, which is done by umpire standing over until given signal by white cap that ample time has been allotted for defense to match those substitutions. If the offense does not make any personnel changes the defense is not afforded time by officials to match, they can choose to do so but run the risk of not having enough defenders on field, getting an illegal substitution penalty (too many men on the field) or hailing a guy out of position as he's running onto field late.
Advantage offense if your current personnel is able to run out of multiple formations, and you as offensive staff see the defense has a group on the field you can take advantage of if you keep them out there.
Enter where you see offense sometimes after an unsuccessful play because they want to get the defense to match up with current personnel get up and get right back on the ball don't make any changes but change formation with same personnel and now defensively your at a disadvantage and don't want to risk what I said above, but instead you give up chunk plays because not only is your defensive personnel wrong but also you typically go to a base call and now your screwed.
This is basically what both furman and Duke did and I thought we would see the same Saturday. We just benefited from a difference in talent.
We have to get that shored up going into the BS portion of the schedule.

Let's be honest. We played a lesser version of ourselves Saturday.

I had no doubt we would thump NCCU but let’s talk in 2 weeks when we see a team that does not try to eat chicken like we do. Dooms is right they duplicate our style of play just don’t have the horses.
One thing I will say is that I expect DJ Crossen to return this week and he is a game changer!!! Glad they held him out for this weeks glorified scrimmage

I thought we play complimentary football which gave the outcome that we saw. The defense picked up the offense and vice versa...the special teams played solid as well. So, we didn't see a lot of explosive plays but, when one side of the ball wasn't playing well in a spurt or two, another phase picked them up. That's how you win football games. Now, it's about consistency and a continuation of the complimentary football that we saw.

We have to get that shored up going into the BS portion of the schedule. Agreed. What's good, to me otherwise, is that we have good depth to be able to substitute different personnel from series to series. Figuring out how to do it effectively within a series is a different story and to your point.

Let's be honest. We played a lesser version of ourselves Saturday. Much lesser. Wish we could have played them 1st to get a bit of rust knocked off, 1st time starting time for Jalen, etc.

Let's be honest. We played a lesser version of ourselves Saturday. Central did not try to emulate our style of defense on Saturday. We normally keep one safety high, load the box and focus on stopping the run. Central had a two high safety look all game, dropped their linebackers and dared us to run the ball. I guess they figured we would not stay patient and eventually try to throw into double coverage. We got kinda greedy on that first long throw to Hunt where the DB was right with him in the endzone. But then we just took what the defense gave us and nickel and dimed them right down the field.

And we went with 3 man rushes on 3rd down, allowing for 8 guys to cover on the back end. Those adjustments were a thing of beauty.
