Field Goal
we’re running the ball well, two missed deep balls but we’ll be alright there are things there. our defense is up next and this is what I have been waiting to see.

It's Been a While
since UNC had a scoring drive to start the game. Decent sign, even if it should have been 7.

we definitely needed to put points up.

Line’s doing well, though. If the secondary can get good coverage early, there should be more than a few sacks out of it.

Didn't Wake Used to Run the Option?
Shouldn’t they be able to defend against it?

Caldwell
Jim Caldwell ran a little bit of the option years ago. None of this Duke or UNC staff except Browning, was at the school when they did. Grobe’s team ran a lot of “wing t” early under Grobe. Until about 2007-2008. They went more pro style and again neither Cut nor Butch was here when they ran that.

I don't trust that
I’m telling you, don’t trust that. Cutcliffe is probing. He’s like Andy Reid. He’s gonna find a guy or two on our defense who isn’t doing their job and he’ll keep going there until we overcompensate. then he’ll go somewhere else.

Lewis is looking to the sidelines a lot, often mid-snap count. I don’t know if the D is truly rattling him, or Cutcliffe just wants to change things up often.
by T.H. on Nov 7, 2009 4:33 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He's doing what
OU does. They come out in a formation and line up. Fake a snap count. Then look to the sideline and Cutcliffe calls a play based upon what he sees. They’re hoping that we show what sort of coverage, blitz or stunt that we’re in during that time where they “fake snap it” so they can call a play to exploit it.

Best Position
This is the best position to have Duke it. conventional coaching says they have to run, but they know they can’t run the ball. So now they’re really in a bind. This is the place where running that shotgun styled offense kills you
