We weren’t giving a lot of space to work with on the sideline. The one thing he has done on the deep ball down the sidelines is he gives the quarterback space on the outside. ” ▪ Richt, on freshman receiver Brian Hightower’s 32-yard touchdown catch: “He’s done that at practice, too. His effort, his route running as a ball catcher. There was one crossing route kind of behind him and he could have said, ‘tough catch, but I made two or three other catches’. When you come out of high school, there’s a different level of effort it takes to become consistently great. “He has grown up a lot,” Richt told WQAM. We’ve got to get better at that.” ▪ Richt loves what he’s seeing from sophomore receiver Jeff Thomas, who had 132 yards on five receptions. When things don’t go well, it hurts.” Richt mentioned, incidentally, that the blocking from the receiver position Sunday wasn’t “what we’re used to. But there’s no quarterback that’s ever perfect. We could have done this better, should have done this better.Įverybody wants perfection. ▪ Mark Richt was more positive in his postgame assessment than some might have expected, but he conceded on WQAM’s Hurricane Hotline that “there were a lot of mistakes made. But on a bang-bang play like this the game’s not played in super slow-mo now.”. I think globally, we’ve done a good job of taking that egregious hit over the middle out of the game.

“The only player we’ve had get a concussion since we’ve been teaching this way was when an offensive player lowered their head into us last year. I think we’ve done a good job No one coaches tackling without the head harder than we do. But I do think it’s unfair for defensive players in that scenario.ĭiaz added: “I don’t blame anybody for following the rules as they are written right now, but there should be two types of targeting penalties. I’m just talking to the wall right now, no offense. There should be different levels of flagrant. It’d be like throwing a guy out of an NBA game just for a foul. There’s not another sport where we disqualify a player for a technique that had no malintent. “Now, if that’s going to be a penalty, that’s fine. That’s football,” defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said. “Trajan, coming up on that tackle, had his eyes up, threw his outside arm getting ready to wrap up on the guy. It’s an absurd rule to require that players be thrown out of the game if they make a tackle leading with their helmet. A six-pack of Hurricanes notes on a Wednesday: ▪ At least one UM coach hopes cornerback Trajan Bandy’s ejection for a targeting penalty - and other ejections for similar infractions across college football this season - will be ammunition to change that rule.
