Said Trey Klock should be able to practice this week, Shamire Devine did practice on Monday. He was knocked out of the Miami game after reinjuring his ankle.
CPJ said we have to play a good Pitt team on the road. Said he has a ton of respect for James Connors and just hopes he doesn't have a big game. Said Pitt QB is taking care of the ball, got good speed guys and speed sweeps.
CPJ said Pitt blitzes a lot, said OK State and UNC go fast so they are giving up points, said the D is mostly the same as last year and they were good.
CPJ said they made too many mistakes to win the Miami game. Said a couple of the sacks had chance to be long touchdowns in play-action and one of them was probably a 14-point swing if he can get the ball off instead of fumbling.
CRW explained what happened, essentially the OL didn't see the sixth defender on the blindside, they had five on six, the line should've blocked down a man and left the playside defender in JT's face uncovered so he could see him and maneuver around him. The A-back was wide open for an 80-yard TD if JT can get the ball off there.
CPJ said the line isn't the only problem, said the WRs and A-backs didn't block well. Said the arcs were bad from the A-backs and they had some good situations they missed. CPJ said they sent every into the boundary including the A-backs and they should've been able to make plays with just one guy to block, said they have to block them. Said it there were some issues with fundamentals or bench the guys who aren't getting it done.
CPJ said missed assignments were a little up.
CPJ pointed out they've played two top 10 and they made too many mistakes to play well enough to win.
CPJ said that Dedrick Mills did a good job, still missing some blocking stuff and CBC said he missed some plays by hitting the wrong gaps on runs. CPJ said team's are lining up to take Dedrick or Marcus away and they aren't hitting enough edge or pass plays to counteract that and back off the linebackers. Said the OL needs to be better at sealing guys inside out.
CPJ said the secondary and defense needs to get some turnovers, haven't had one since than the Vandy game, only two for the year, said that is an issue. CPJ said they need more people around the ball and more pressure on the quarterback, played two very good QBs in the last year.
CBC said that Justin Thomas' passing is better, said his running is more aggressive the last two games, but he still has room for improvement.
CRW said they have to get better on fitting on LBs and protecting four weak, said they had some busts with backers walking in and out, they have to handle that better.
CRW said there were some issues because of the no huddle since they mostly worked on it this week and it was something they worked on situation based prior like 2 or 4 minute drills. Said they have to diagnose the looks and then the defense was stemming looks. Said it was very effective for the offense though, CPJ could make good calls though based on what they did.
CRW said GT beat GT on Saturday with penalties and missed assignments. Said they can't afford to make those type of mistakes. Said the offense was 3-for-3 in the red zone.
CPJ talked about how this isn't the old ACC when they would have two teams ranked a year, now there are 6 ranked, every week is pretty good teams and schools have committed to football and having good programs.
CPJ said he tells the same thing he would tell fans, "commitment has to meet expectations. You can't have expectations with no commitment. It won't work no matter what you do. If you say you want to be on this level (raises his hand high) then you have to be committed to be on that level and you have to do what those people are doing."
Said he doesn't think ANY coach gets what they need compared to what fans or administration expect, but GT doesn't have the same things Clemson does, so then why is the expectation to beat them, it is pretty simple.
