Huard is doing the best job of anyone explaining how Elko emphasizes TOs. 6 drills focusing on it. Practice 3 every practice. These TOs are not serendipity but the product of practice.

I'm just not very impressed with Jones' vision.
He doesn't or at least hasn't shown the ability to bounce the run like the other guys. Deon beautifully bounced that td run outside.

Autrey Denson fantastic, Mike Elko for President. Everything we heard about tipping passes, ripping the ball free and creating turnoves has come to fruition.
What would our record have been with him as DC in 2015, 2016??? Team has given up 20 pts 1x

Yeah, it's interesting and cool to hear someone talk about it. They are way better this year at going after the ball.

So far, he's got a Jonas Gray body with George Atkinson balance.

ABC has outright missed showing two plays this game. Really terrible. Plus poor use of replays

Lol. That's not a good combo. I don't have anything against him. I just think our other guys are better. Tony Jones Jr reminds me of that other #34 when Charlie was coach. I can't remember his name. He was supposed to be an amazing rb but got hurt in high school. Was from Indianapolis I think.

I think the plan was to get CJ some carries today. I suspect Adams and Dexter will be good to go vs. USC. I bet Adams could play now if it was a one-score game.

I saw that but didn't really understand it unless they plan to start to give him some playing time. We have seen too many players over the last twenty years lose a year for little playing time after a mid season few plays

I hear what you're saying, but it's extremely rare for a really good running back to stay five years, unless he's injured.

All and all a good win. Just stick with the ground game a bit more.

Could have been 400 without all the wasted passes in the first half.

A sloppy, ugly game and we win by 23. Wouldn't have happened last year. Elko and Denson are amazing coaches. Still a little worried about Long.
