By the way, as the eternal optimist and generally happy guy, I like us against Louisville. Just saying...
Sirk was a big loss. We just can't get this offense started.
I was just thinking the same thing but I also remember how many of us really got on him in a bad way last year. Let's not be like that this year with Jones. He's going to be fine. OFC
After what I saw today and what I'm listening to right (Duke football) now, Louisville by 70.
Guys I dont know....Whatever the reason, the Duke offense just doesnt have it....7 points grand total in the 3 second halves this year doesnt cut it....

It sucks that we may be staring at a 1 or 2 win season after that bowl win. I know there is still a lot of football left but nothing I have seen leads me to believe we will surprise a few teams.
I was thinking the exact same thing with the running game. Bounce some of the runs outside.bracey popped a hammy and is still recovering. stop with the qb stuff. he only played there in high school cause he was best athlete on team. our biggest issue to me seems to be coaching. WHY do we only run between the tacklies? we have no outside runs so teams put everyone in the box and we get stuffed.also it seems like we are getting better dl play this year and yet we still give up huge pass plays. recievers open by 10 yards. WHAT THE HELL? i think this is where cuts refusal to go outside the program has bit us in the ass. same reason they let him go at old miss. we need a new mind at oc who can see the whole field. i love ferris as a recruiter but man the dbs have gone backwards since he took them over. our talent level is much higher now but we sure are not showing it on the field.
I'm not as high on Jones as everyone else is. I know he needs more experience but I wish they'd give bracey a shot at qb since he's apparently doing nothing at wr. Dude was a bad ass qb in high school. Shoot look at Shane buchele at Texas so far. Nobody expected him to be this good

If he cant coach this seasoned group of dbs we are in trouble...

Sorry, I wasn't attempting to lay blame on a particular position. I agree that the issue is more the play calling.
The only thing I meany about the QB position is the game experience Sirk has is hard to replace. He can make adjustments with that which is tough to do based on practice reps.
That being said, I still think we shock Louisville.
I believe coach Cut has more problems this year than he can fix.
I like us today. Just saying.
Keep fighting fellas.
