WTKA Roundtable 10/16/2025: Don't Give Up the Edge

Things Discussed:

• RIP Zia Combs.
• Wink shit. Brian and I are done.
• Is it coaching or players? I say coaching, because there's no point in running the stuff, even if it's good stuff, if you don't have the coaching points down, and the #1 coaching points are not in.
• They're going to have to simplify, stick to some basics until they can run all of this stuff.
• Hillman: Unplayable at this bust rate, but too good of a player to not coach the bust rate out of him.
• Players going off-script? If it's seniors you gotta ask why they think they have to.
• Wink Shit: Never drops a DT into a screen. Plays three DTs. Expected long passing and got short. Had no way to defend power. It was all so easy; the only thing that stopped USC was a bad call and 2 redzone turnovers. Worst coaching performance since Rich Rod made Greg Robinson go 3-3-5 vs Purdue in 2009.
• Offense is young but you can see what they'll look like post-mistakes.
• Found a WR2 in Marsh, might want to try some max-pro to get BU confident.
