Three keys….
With the UNC-Ch game quickly approaching, here are my three keys to a victory (and harmony) at Keenan Stadium…. Remember I’m not a coach, I just play one on the internet…
1) All I am saying is, give ‘Pink’ a chance.…
Yes, this paraphrase from the John Lennon classic seemingly has nothing to do with anything, except for an outside chance of being original. But there is a thought behind it.
It’s obvious to this football observer that Pink needs some help back there. And in my book, that means non-traditional sets to take the heat off our favorite sixth year senior. Notice I don’t call it the ‘Wildcat’…. let’s call the ‘Buccanneer’ package.
Also, notice that Pink is the only guy who doesn’t get subbed for the entire game. That should change. It will allow Pink a breather, let him see the field and (at least hopefully) give him some confidence in whoever is behind him. Whether it’s Rob Kass, Josh Jordan or Rio Johnson, someone has to step up. I’ve said it before but it bears repeating, Skip should not allow the stigma of the two-QB system dictate his offenisive philosophy.
2) Run with it…
I think this is the name of a Steve Winwood song, but that’s beside the point. You know what else is pointless? Subbing running backs every three minutes.
I know we have a talented stable of backs, maybe too many to give everyone the carries they deserve. Running backs need carries to work up a head of steam to get into the game. Unfortunately, most of our backs get more yardage running to the bench than running to the goalpost. I’d play Jackson in the first quarter, Williams in the second and play whoever does the best in the second half.
3) Let it be…
Right, the Beatles did this song and they were pretty good, right? It was said that the Beatles had their personality conflicts, but when they were able to get Yoko Ono out of the studio, they could make great music.
Now I may be the first to compare Coach Holtz to Yoko Ono (pretty sure about that one), but his controlled offense doesn’t really look like it’s working. Sometimes you just have to leave the studio and let the kids play. At this point, it’s worth a shot. You never know, they might come up with a classic.

first give pink a rest, why would a person need a rest when they never go past the line and second why rest on 3 and outs. third- remember that Yoko Ono split the beatles up with her controlling of john
and think of all the drugs that all 3 of these groups did, maybe this is for the fans to keep from having heart attacks
