"He seemed suited for bear hunting — Baylor Bear hunting — on Saturday with a 2:35 p.m. kickoff at Bill Snyder Family Stadium."

Nobody can match Hawk though.  Not even Prince.

"Coach Ron Prince isn't happy with the missed tackles, but explains that it might be a sign of the times in college football.

"People are spreading you out, getting good athletes in space, and maybe forcing you to have to beat a very athletic blocker to make a tackle in open space," he said. "Someone is going to have to be creative enough and insightful enough to get on the front end of this thing defensively and start to stem the tide a little bit."


Personally, this is exactly what I think is happening in college football.  There is more talent across the nation with fast athletic types and offenses are becoming very good at moving the ball.  You get a guy in space and any defender if alone is at a distinct disadvantage.

Making tackling fundamentals that much more important.
One team I've noticed that has been very solid in tackling, at least since 2002, is Ohio State. True they have good athletes, but they always tackle well.

I agree.  I also think we are undersized at LB's as well as the lines, which is compounding our lack of getting people down.  I think RP wants to have more size but intends to put it on them over there time here and recruit for speed initially.

You want to teach your team how to tackle?  Full contact scrimmages with no pads.  That will teach them to quit trying to blow the other guy up and just bring him down.  The art of "hitting" is way overrated and the art of "tackling" is being lost.

Yeah, it's a new phenomenon to get athletes in space.  Christ, what the hell was Bill doing from '97 - '03?  OSU was running a spread/sprint option...there's nothing creative or insightful needed to to stop these types of offenses....get better players and/or be more disciplined/have better fundamentals.
