promotherobot Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Old Dominion is 1-2. One big win vs FCS Hampton and two blowout losses to Liberty and Wake Forest. They were ranked in the Bottom-10 of FBS teams at the start of the season. This needs to be win #2 for the Bulls even playing in Norfolk. Game will be streamed on ESPN+, https://ubbulls.com/news/2021/9/21/football-coach-linguist-weekly-press-conference.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecoveringHillbilly Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Only ??'s are, can Ruiz play, and if not, please just rest him for MAC play. And who starts OL as Dioron got the start over Schaerer last week and did ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121Merrimac Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Did Schaerer play at all last week? I don't remember seeing him, and thought he might be injured. I'm curious about the CB position too. What is the reason for Hudgens replacing King as a probable starter; ability or injury? Either way, it's unfortunate timing for Isaiah, going into his homecoming game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121Merrimac Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Here's another CB comment... Ali Abbas, and his 34 games worth of experience as a Bull, is no longer listed on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecoveringHillbilly Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Good insights 121Merrimac, it does seem like the staff has shuffled around the DB depth week-to-week, unlike other positions. They must be really trying out combinations now, before we defend against Eleby and Crum in the coming weeks. One site shows Ruiz is out, Marks is probable, nothing on Schaerer or other injuries.

OLD DOMINION - by Ben Kirst - UB In 5 (substack.com) Clicking around about the ODU game, I stumbled on to press conference with the ODU coach, Ricky Rahne. Seems like an impressive guy and a good leader.. I think he will have that program playing pretty good football in the not so distant future, just hopefully not this week. There's plenty of talent in the DMV area for UB to continue pulling kids. After the Patterson's and several other Maryland/DC players that have come through Amherst, UB has good name recognition in that part of the country.

MuchMany Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Interesting to see @UB_Stampede recruiting on Twitter show that today we offered at least two guys who hold Old Dominion offers. Consistent with the article posted above. Staff looking to draw a direct comparison it appears and show that we're on a different level. I like it. Now it's time to show it between the lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigo230 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Conservative play calling, Marks can’t seem to crank out any yardage these days. hope that changes later. Punt block- embarrassing D hold them to a FG great job, and special teams blocks the FG for a TD. Just spectacular! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TML1000 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 A blocked punt and a blocked fg back for a td inside 5 mins lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markchicago Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Did we not hire a special teams coach - 2 blocked punts and no return on kickoffs Do we have a running scheme that is other than right up the middle Can we create a passing gaME expecting improvement go Bulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I don't understand why we don't have a jet sweep option running though on almost every run between the tackles. I'm fine with a run heavy scheme (esp with the way the ball has been coming off KVT's hand), but why not have a modern college run game with more misdirection?

zigo230 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 The punt block nonsense is a group effort. it’s on coaching. it’s also on the guys back there showing no awareness of what’s coming up the middle. and Finegan stands there taking enough time to have coffee and a donut before he punts it. Maybe slide to the right and kick it rugby style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too slow and zero awareness from Finnegan. And I say that as a former rugby kicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 This announcing team is cannot be real. It's so bad, to the point of enjoyment. Quian Williams is a really nice player. Great find in conference to continue our recent run of quality WRs, if only for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
