FSU lists co-starters in DJ Uiagalelei, Brock Glenn at QB for Clemson game

By: Bob Ferrante - The Osceola

DJ Uiagalelei and Brock Glenn are listed with an "or" designation on Florida State's revised depth chart ahead of Saturday's game against Clemson.

Norvell said Uiagalelei had "something with his hand after the 42-16 loss at SMU. On Monday he said the Seminoles' starting quarterback will be evaluated this week.

"DJ has something that we're going to evaluate throughout the course of the week and see where it goes from there," Norvell said.

Norvell was asked if Uiagalelei was pulled due to injury or performance as the move was made after an interception return for a touchdown to extend SMU's lead to 42-16.

"When we had the pick 6 it was going to be an opportunity for Brock to go in there. I was making the change," Norvell said.

Uiagalelei is completing a career-low 53.8 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and six interceptions.

Glenn was 0 for 4 in his season debut against SMU, with one drop.

Notable depth chart updates​

The "or" update at quarterback is one of several changes by FSU on Monday morning. Hykeem Williams and Kentron Poitier are now co-starters at one receiver spot. Deuce Spann as added as a co-backup behind Ja'Khi Douglas.

At tight end, there are three co-starters: Kyle Morlock, Landen Thomas and Brian Courtney.

Norvell also announced guard Richie Leonard will be out for the rest of the season with an injury.

On the offensive line, there are now multiple positions with co-starters: LG Keiondre Jones or Bryson Estes, RG TJ Ferguson or Andre' Otto, and RT Jeremiah Byers as starter ahead of Jaylen Early. Robert Scott is now listed as a co-backup at left tackle while Richie Leonard IV, who missed the SMU game, has been removed.

FSU's offense has been among the nation's worst through five games, averaging just 15.2 points per game (126th among the 134 FBS teams). The Seminoles have been plagued by drops (four at SMU) as well as porous pass protection.

I'm seeing some serious gems from the Florida State boards today ...

Serious question. So the coach misspends collective money. At what point do schools seek money back from coaches salary.

Stanford Offense v. Clemson Defense...Run Game Review

I got back from the game this morning and took a closer look at Stanford's run game and how they attacked us. I did not watch Stanford before last night, but judging by how we played them, we were bound and determined that we were not going to let them get their zone game going. For the most part, we succeeded. Stanford had a great plan to counter punch...they ran speed option at us and a play called BOUNCER with some success...but could not generate the explosives that they needed to actually beat us.

First, Stanford wants to live in the inside zone world. They have a great athlete at QB, a physical OL, and multiple tight ends. They want to wash everything down and cut the ball back through B gap...Here is an example:
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxnqsF9tBTmdJpsy4hcW4Lqeu2cN8e0XC5?si=hcBUVSaEVsHDdt1P
This is an abnormal situation as it is 3rd down and we get into one of our exotic fronts that Goodwin likes to use on 3rd down. We are in an odd front with the ends playing 5 techniques. Our LBs are mugged up over the guards. Stanford runs split zone...Denhoff gets way up field and gets kicked out. The back cuts it back through B gap for a big play. I believe there was a stunt here that Denhoff (probably) messed up...Woodaz winds up out in no mans land.

To combat this play, Clemson employed a tactic known as "Squeeze/Scrape." In a normal run fit, the defensive end would have C gap and an inside backer would have B gap. In a squeeze/scrape, they exchange responsibilities. The end crashes hard in B (which would make the QB pull the ball) and the linebacker wraps around to play the QB. This is REALLY TOUGH to run zone into without some adjustments. Rather than trying to force the issue, Stanford ran two plays to counter it that gave us some issues. These plays are Loaded/Speed Option and a Power scheme that I call Bouncer.

This is what Squeeze/Scrape looks like:

Stanford's first answer is to LOAD inside zone. Because they know that the DE is going to crash and force a pull, they use their H back to fake a block on the end then loop around for the scraping LB. The QB pulls the ball. Stanford has both the scraper and Safety accounted for.

LOADED Speed Option
Clemson is in their ODD front with mugged up backers again. It's 3rd and 9 and we are anticipating pass. They run on us and get us completely out leveraged. Stanford runs speed option into the boundary. The OL blocks inside zone back to the left and the end goes to squeeze it. However, there is no back on a zone track. The OL climbs to the scraping backer and the second back loads it up and climbs to the safety. The QB simply attacks the inside shoulder of the end and pitches off of him.

This is the same exact play and we defend it better this time. We match them with leverage, but Carter doesn't fit it perfectly. We have a pitch player to the outside. He has to take away the inside here. The QB keeps it for a nice gain.
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxWKqyQ72T_u9ua8V5NKSgPGtoGuYjJjZS?si=Rq4axYoLl0rt9gQm

BOUNCER
Bouncer is a power scheme that it designed to take advantage of DEs who squeeze inside. Instead of pulling around for the linebacker, the pulling guard will attempt to LOG (or seal inside) the defensive end when he squeezes. The offense will crack the inside linebacker with a WR or TE. The back will take a jab step inside to bait it, then bounce outside. Here it is:


And here are two clips:
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxuuekBWhmYlEGiOXUVrVjSHQSrSc7cxyv?si=w0nAqQNMdNGE0K10


This last time, we are able to stop it with good recognition from Tyler Venables. He sees it immediately and fills. They have nobody to account for the safety.

This last play really annoyed me, but it was also a really good play call vs. our backers. It is 3rd and 19...We anticipated pass all the way and they ran sprint draw on us to convert the first down. The only reasons I included this one is because we constantly anticipated pass and they chose to run...and Tony Elliot used to run this multiple times a game.

Dirty dozen? 12 jurisdictions where election issues looming ahead of November

We know from which side this is coming too.


“Washington, D.C., other municipalities around the country, not only allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections, they’re actually using taxpayer dollars to encourage non-citizens to participate in our elections,” Rep. Bryan Steil said. There's not much time left to resolve this nationwide problem.

With the November election fewer than six weeks away, states and localities are cleaning up voter rolls and sending out ballots to voters. However, multiple jurisdictions are experiencing issues in preparation for Election Day.
As voters in some states have already begun the early and absentee voting process, several jurisdictions have recently found problems in the administrative process, such as non-citizens on voter rolls and duplicate ballots sent out to voters.
Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., chairman of the House Administration Committee that oversees elections, told the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show on Tuesday that one of the most important issues in this election cycle is non-citizens voting.
“Washington, D.C., other municipalities around the country, not only allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections, they’re actually using taxpayer dollars to encourage non-citizens to participate in our elections,” Steil said.
Washington, D.C.’s law states that “an individual residing in our nation's capital for simply 30 days is eligible to vote,” he explained. “So someone working at the Russian embassy who's a Russian citizen, if they've resided in Washington, D.C., for 30 days, they can walk down to the polling station this November and vote in the municipal elections.”
“Now it's illegal on paper for somebody to vote in a U.S. election at the federal level. That said, it's illegal to cross the border, yet millions of people do it. This is about enforcement, about preventing individuals from taking illegal action,” Steil added.
Non-citizens have been found on states’ voter rolls, with many states removing them upon discovery. However, non-citizen voting is not the only election integrity issue that Steil said is important to focus on, and most Democrats oppose reforms for such problems.
“This is what's so frustrating – when we have an opportunity to increase Americans' confidence in the elections, what we continue to see are liberal Democrats pushing back against very common-sense reforms,” Steil said. “It's the same pushback that we saw when Democrats pushed back against photo ID. Photo identification when you go to the polls is an absolute no-brainer.”
Below is a list of 12 states and jurisdictions across the country that are struggling with election-related issues:

Alabama​

Earlier this month, an illegal immigrant agreed to plead guilty to charges of having stolen a U.S. citizen's identity to illegally vote in multiple U.S. elections and illegally obtain a passport, according to the Justice Department. That illegal immigrant registered to vote in Alabama in 2016 and voted in the 2016 and 2020 primary and general elections. Last month, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen instructed county boards of registrars to remove 3,251 people from active voter rolls and to set their registrations as inactive over their citizenship status.

Arizona​

Last week, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) said that nearly 98,000 voters were incorrectly registered in the state as providing proof of U.S. citizenship, even though they had not done so. In April 2023, PILF reported that Maricopa County, Ariz., records showed that since 2015, 222 foreign nationals were removed from the county’s voter rolls, with nine of them recorded as casting 12 ballots across four federal elections. According to a February report by PILF, Pima County has removed 186 non-citizens from its voter rolls since 2021, with the majority of those registered to vote through third parties.

Georgia​

Last month, the Georgia State Election Board voted to request that state Attorney General Chris Carr reopen an investigation into Fulton County's counting of the results of the 2020 election after an independent investigation found that the county likely scanned thousands of ballots twice in a recount of the 2020 election. The board has also requested that its own executive director investigate how the boards of elections in eight counties have handled challenges to voter registrations. The counties are Athens-Clarke, Cobb, DeKalb, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Jackson, and Macon-Bibb.

Iowa​

Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird (R) charged a non-citizen last week with illegally voting in a July city council election.

North Carolina​

The North Carolina State Board of Elections removed 747,000 individuals from state voter rolls over the past 20 months because they were ineligible for registration.

Ohio​

In May, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) directed all 88 counties to begin a removal process for non-citizens on Ohio's voter rolls after 137 voter registrations were found of non-citizens who had twice confirmed their lack of U.S. citizenship. Also, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan wrote a letter on Friday demanding Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas respond to LaRose’s requests to DHS for federal citizenship information to make sure Ohio voters are U.S. citizens.

Oklahoma​

A total of 456,309 voter registrations have been removed from Oklahoma's voter rolls since 2021.

Oregon​

Oregon removed 1,259 voters this month from state voter rolls who were registered to vote without proof of U.S. citizenship due to errors made by the motor vehicles department.

Pennsylvania​

The Pennsylvania Department of State announced in September 2017 that records indicated 1,160 non-citizens since 1972 had requested their voter registrations be canceled.

Texas​

Last month, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced that more than 1 million ineligible voters have been removed from voter rolls since 2021.

Illinois​

According to a PILF report from May 2023, Chicago records show that 394 foreign nationals were removed from the city’s voter rolls since 2007, with 20 of them recorded as casting 85 ballots.

Wisconsin​

In Madison, Wis., 2,215 duplicate ballots mistakenly went out to voters. The U.S. Department of Justice sued two rural Wisconsin towns after they switched from including electronic voting machines to using only paper ballots in their elections and counting them by hand.
Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., said Thursday on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show on that the city of Madison should take more precautions to ensure that duplicate ballots aren’t counted.
“They're saying, the city of Madison, ‘we're going to go to all 2,215 of these voters, and we're going to make sure that they know about this.’ What they need to do is get a hold of the duplicate ballot and make sure that it's not cast. Because remember, in Madison, in Dane County, that is the center of the universe in Wisconsin for the ballot harvesting efforts of Democrats. We have to make sure this election is above repute, especially in one of the most critical states in this upcoming election: Wisconsin,” Tiffany said.
"A mistake was made, the Clerk's Office moved swiftly to rectify the error and reassure voters, but there is NO possibility of a duplicate absentee ballot being counted," Madison spokesperson Dylan Brogan told Fox News on Wednesday.

Cade is so improved since last year.

I hope he keeps working on improvement. He's so close to being an elite trigger man.

He needs a bit better accuracy, and more confidence I think on his deep throws. It seems like most of his contested deep throws he kind of lobs it up and hopes our guy can win the 50-50 ball rather than leading and letting our receiver to continue to run full speed to the ball.

This isn't me complaining. I'm very impressed with how much better he's playing than last year, and if he can improve on his intermediate and long balls where I think he holds the ball a beat too long Clemson will be difficult for anyone to shut down.

Great job by him, and it seems Riley is getting comfortable cutting him loose. Go Tigers!

Families with infants

How are all my families with infants hanging in there? 2+ days without power having an infant has been quite challenging.

Thankful no damage to the house or cars but trying to keep the baby comfortable is damn near impossible it seems. Bout to load the family in the van and drive around to gas stations just to have them in some colder air.
