I think Hodge is 100% willing to go with his best defensive unit offense be danged than to allow a player on the court who causes even a tiny chink in the defensive armor. No source or info just the feel I've gotten watching him as he has stepped into his HC role

They stayed at the Omni last time.

Difference between the Jack Cassity uses and the "Devil" linebacker we ran a few years back? Looks like more of the same with a different name. About the conversion rates, I found an article from this September but only about run plays on 3rd/4th and 1. The discussion was running out of the shotgun vs under center. Either way, the conversion rate was between 68% and 75%. All run plays, whether shotgun or under center, and RB runs from the shotgun were converted at about 75%. RB only from under center was closer to 68%. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5771435/2024/09/17/college-football-short-yardage-analysis/

Student turnout is absolutely embarrassing. A Mean Green basketball game should be an absolute EVENT for the student body: even on Christmas break. Most of these kids live in DFW and would enjoy an opportunity to get away from their parents for an evening. An easy connection that has not been made here is with the Greeks. Did you see all the High Point Greek pledges wearing suits to the basketball game when we played them at their place? Why aren’t OUR Greeks competing throughout the season to show the most support for the basketball team/athletic program? The winner gets their letters displayed prominently inside the Super Pit/DATCU, gets their own commercial on the video board and Hell, Mosley should be putting up his own $$ as a cash award to incentivize this. There could be Greek basketball All-Star games at halftime or after our game to encourage attendance and get the whole community out. We gotta find a way to get consistent Greek attendance at these games. And once you have that base of students who are always there, it can turn into a snowball effect.

I would imagine that against a true double tight end set or heavier formation he has the ability for that Jack to end up being an actual defensive lineman, but in today's game the need to be able to multiple based on formations, offenses etc. Jack LB's end up being the nice in between. Yeah you give up some on 3rd or 4th and short but the idea is that 1st and 2nd down you keep them in less favorable down and distances by having a more athletic guy on the field. I believe last season nationally the percentages on 3rd and 2 or less was like 68 percent conversion rate offensively. I as much as anyone want to see a defense on the field we can be proud of. Just like the HOD Bowl championship defense. The reality is though if you're living in 3rd and short as a defense you probably aren't getting very many stops.
