I really enjoy his work.

I believe our entire team is rounding into form as the season progresses. Much like Ohio State lost early last year and then kept winning as it improved, I see that for us potentially.

I hate making too much of these atta-boys...like the writer pointed out, a veteran QB and WR would have adjusted after the snap to stick/hook type route in the vacated area. Instead the freshman WR just blew by his keys and kept on running and the green QB tried to force a throw that was never there. A decent passing attack: that play was a 7-10 yard gain. A dynamic veteran receiver: maybe he makes a man miss and gets even more.

I have thought the same thing. I think we grew a lot from the Ole Miss loss.

"The Tide’s goal was to eliminate the explosive pass and keep everything in front of them so their pack of wolves could hunt for kills (as one of my coordinators used to put it.) " love this quote...

True. But what CMT has brought to this DB unit puts the players in correct position to generate T.O. opportunities while limiting big play potential. I texted my son immediately after that play something to the effect of "This defense is beginning to gel, WATCH OUT!". I'm excited about the remainder of the season.

RTR!!!
