PB on the short yardage game to KGB:

amongst other things discussed in the DMN:

"Bennett said the package will be more definite - the players will know exactly what to do and be very good at those plays."

Sounds nice...until one asks the question, 'as opposed to what?' So I guess the package was previously vague, and the players didn't really know what to do, and SMU wasn't very good at those plays.

Well, I guess the last part is pretty much dead on.

And it took 5 years to institute this concept? Better late than never... ?

yea, what the hell? Players don't know how to run up the gut behind their O-line? Thats what I call GREAT COACHING. How does it take 5 years for that to happen? Whatever, at least it seems like he's working on it.

I think this is typical Bennett protecting the ineptitudes that we have had in the past. We couldn't do short-yardage, on the one yard line plays because we didnt have the OL to do conventional short yardage plays. Now we are getting where we can do short yardage situations.

Maniacs has more detail on the short-yardage quote.

I hope he just means he has finally begun to institute a legitimate (practiced!) jumbo package.

For a long time we never got to the one yard line so why practice it? :wink:

Also, even when we did we fumbled it, even after a long run. :shock:

as has been pointed out here several times SMU employed a Jumbo package on several occassions in the Rice game and were stuffed. This is a lot more about personnel rather than the fan's favorite whipping boy-the head coach. Recruit big men, develop big men, tell big men to knock their man off the line. Celebrate great coaching decision by Head Coach.

Wow, Stallion, are you channelling BUS. Big ugly's can't win without 'em. I want guys who make Louie Kelcher look pretty.
