It just "bugs" us when it is our players that transfer. https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Football/TransferPortalPositionRanking/ I’m just a little surprised that this year we have the most transfers out, so far, in the BT. On the flip side we had some decent transfers come in this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfers happen to all programs. Likely more now with NIL. The QB for App St transferred from Clemson to Duke to App St. I wouldn’t use transfers to gage if things are bad or good. If anything I would say the ones that don’t buy in to LEO are the ones more likely to transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Our recruiting has improved immensely the last couple of years. No surprise at all that some kids are seeing the handwriting on the wall and realizing that their playing time is going to be taken by better players.

Agree….the one thing that concerns me is when players transfer from the side of the ball that’s struggling. My mind immediately goes to the coaches (who’s players, play calling and preparedness) specific to that area, are suspect….. I often wonder if a different coach, a better coach could have seen something in those players and end up helping the team… just thinking out loud.

dwtaylor1055 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 If Sheridan calls more bubble screens or a similar game like last week, our season is a wash. You have to push the ball downfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well run it up the middle and not get your WR killed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I think the defense will keep us in it past halftime but I don't see the offense moving the ball very well. 17- 0 at the half turns into 42-7 . Hope I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be my biggest disappointment of the season. I just didn’t expect this. I was always concerned about our O line, although admittedly it’s even worse than my fears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronkonagurski Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Yeah I'm with btownqb. I'm not a huge fan of bubble screens either but the OL play combined with the lack of receiver separation makes it nigh impossible to consistently get throw the ball downfield.

Any poster using the word “nigh” deserves respect! On topic, Fryfogle claimed at the beginning of the season, that he was the best receiver in the country. He has fallen way short and really has been a disappointment. Needs to step up his game starting tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 On the receiver front, I hope we are only a year away from getting much better. We have a host of highly ranked receivers who are young. It’s a very tough position to adjust to at this level. Heard has a good reputation as a position coach so hopefully they are learning rapidly. Bottom line, hopefully next year we will have a group who can readily separate. We are coming up on the 4 game maximum to preserve the redshirt. Hopefully we can get a glimpse of some of these young guys here and there, this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A RT being able to sustain a block long enough so our QB doesn't get killed, so we can have a vertical passing game.... should not be an adjustment. Oh well.. we weren't going to be able to run much deep stuff successfully anyway with the conditions Sat night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making adjustments is part of the game across the board for anyone regardless if your on the field or in the press box.
