re: Todd Grantham: Anyone notice his old tendencies last night?

Louisville's defense had communication issues

quote:

---

What happened when you all weren't lined up?

Mount: I think we maybe had two D-linemen on the field, we actually were playing out there with nine. After substition, we had about nine guys on the field.

What did you attribute that to? You practice so much, but did it happen during the year much at all?

Mount: We didn't expect those guys to play us up-tempo like they did. All year they showed they're a team that takes their time and they check with the coaches on the sideline. This game they didn't really do that much."

There's a reason we cranked up the tempo for this game. Watching defenders standing around clueless at the snap was beautiful. I also was glad to see Chubb do what he did because I lost any and all faith in Grantham when he decided not to rotate DL and it got us absolutely trampled by Bama in 2012.

Long story short: in my eyes, any of Petrino's Falcons-related sins are forgiven for taking Grantham off our hands.
