I'm not sure where all this hate for Mullen comes from. Yes, he relied too much
on Tebow and Harvin, but most of the time it worked. He also came up with some
brilliant play calls: the jump pass, the Tebow rocker step, the play right
before the half against OSU where Tebow took a step towards

From what I gather Loeffler is respected for his knowledge and ability, and he
was the one that has designed the Brantley half of our offensive identity.
Through no fault of his, and to some extent, Brantley's, this has been the
less effective side of our offense.

I had the thought that Brantley might transfer after this year if things

He would then be able to transfer to a D1 school that offers a masters

I'm sure all parties are very sorry now! I've read that Driskel has an

of this is the recruiting of him has probably gotten easier. I'm sure he sees
that he can get almost immediate playing time if he signs on.
In an earlier post I touched on the issues that this O-Line has with the
zone/read blocking which they have to do. I have an opposite opinion. In the
first half, in which we zone block for this spread nightmare, we are not doing
well at all. However, when we let them pass protect and run
I'm not sure I buy the whole zone blocking thing anyway. Even in a pro-set

think the problem is too many missed assignments, rarely having a back in to
block and when we do, he misses.

We have a joke among our circle of football watchers.
Whenever it is 1st, 2nd or 3rd and a yard for a 1st down or a TD, my friends

Each time, I yell QB sneak. Under center is implied.
Even if it is a half of a yard, there will always be 4th down.
