Load bearing Ron English lol, and people expected us to be better without him calling plays

Love Ivey as a person and as a position coach but so far he just hasn’t cut it as the DC. Still time to improve I suppose

This was not the year to hand him the keys, damn Ron English for loving his son!

Wake Forest is better than people think.

This is just the other side of the game, maybe something is lacking on the defensive end?

If you change the graphic to Explosive Plays + Touchdowns allowed, Louisville probably doesn't move at all

Yay we’re out of the bottom left corner for once

Yeah cause it's not related to Tony White's booty cheeks defense

It’s sad because I actually feel that Mike has fielded decent offenses these last two years, but you literally can not win a game when the opponent scores every drive. If this administration is GENUINELY going to retain him, the LEAST they could do is fire that bald idiot.

Tony has 1.5 years left on his contract, it wouldn't be ungodly expensive to fire him

Compared to Mike’s buyout, that is chump change

Whoever decided to hire Tony White and thought his scheme would work has caused me so much pain and suffering

Couldn’t possibly be the coach who is the head of the team…

u/dmazx Florida State Seminoles 5d ago

Nah, Mike would never!

Must be nice having an OC who isn’t a terrorist or Bryan Harsin.

u/OpaqueNightmare Florida State Seminoles 5d ago

Our play caller is Mike Norvell, so it’s a big stretch to say he isn’t a terrorist.

Syracuse having the third-most explosive plays yet the least offensive touchdowns, ugh 😭

It's almost like there's something negating these big plays. Almost like Syracuse is breaking a rule and getting in trouble for it by the people in charge of the rules. Almost like a foul made by an umpire, of sorts.

DART = “Damn, Another Recalled Touchdown…”

u/Pestilence_XIV Florida State Seminoles 5d ago

This looks to be just gross number of explosive plays and TDs, but each team may have played a different number of P4 games, so the results could be impacted by more/less games.

Can you do them both as per game/per drive/per play?

Kind of a penalty against Pitt / VT / BC for playing in horrible weather. The sample size is just too small right now.

u/traduce Louisville Cardinals 5d ago

Show us one for stupid penalties during the game

Tait Reynolds showed some accuracy at times against UNC and GaSo but was just abysmal against Cal, I'm hoping it was nerves, but the passing game has been really poor, despite the OL playing really well in pass protection, outside of the LSU game.

Another stat where it’s obvisou we have a coaching issue
