Raising Canes - Virginia Tech Video
by CGNC on Oct 14, 2011 3:01 PM EDT
Another great video by 3 Penny Films. While Coach Golden is right, there are no moral victories, Brandon Washington stood up and challenged the team before going back out in the second half. Also interesting in this video is that all the players interviewed are on offense (wonder why). tomorrow we play North Carolina while the Seminoles play just down the road at Duke. Here is to hoping that both teams win

State of the Defense
by FrankWhyte on Oct 9, 2011 3:50 PM EDT
We are now 5 games into the season, and the defense has been non-existent in 4 of them (they have only "showed up" against an anemic Ohio St. offense). Yes, even in a game where we won by 31 points to an FCS school, the D was not impressive. We continue to get shredded by our opponents' rushing attacks, no matter how vanilla the play calling is or how poor their offensive linemen play. Please help me understand why..
Golden on the Return of Ray-Ray Armstrong
by CGNC on Oct 7, 2011 8:16 PM EDT
A ‘bucking bronco’
Golden was asked what kind of player he envisioned in Armstrong. “Kind of a bucking bronco,” he replied. “He’s kind of a wild horse, so to speak. We’ve got to get him saddled. But what I don’t want to do is saddle his energy, his passion for the game, his willingness to be tough and play reckless.”
The key to refining Armstrong, Golden said, is “to marry” the safety’s unbridled aggressiveness “with the technique of being poised and sound, and then increasing his football intelligence so he can anticipate things better. You want to harness that but you don’t want to suppress it.”

Forston Out for the Season
by CGNC on Oct 6, 2011 8:47 AM EDT
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami has lost defensive tackle Marcus Forston for the remainder of the season because of a knee injury.
Forston was injured in practice on Wednesday. The team says he suffered a non-contact injury, making him the second Miami defensive starter to be lost for the season in that manner in recent days. Starting linebacker Ramon Buchanan sustained a season-ending right knee injury in last weekend's win over Bethune-Cookman.

Philip Dorsett Pleasant Surprise on ST
by CGNC on Sep 30, 2011 12:48 PM EDT
I knew we were better in this department than last year, but I did not know that we had improved quite this much (or that we used to actually be that awful):
"Dorsett is a key figure on a unit that ranks first in the ACC and 10th nationally allowing only 16.38 yards per return."
This is from an article from Palm Beach Post by Jorge Milian that has Al Golden raving about him.
