Ithaca's TE coach Chase Venuto (who played HS ball at Ithaca hS) played QB in Brockport's system. IC has had inside info on both Alfred's and Brockport's offense for 2 consecutive weeks.
I don't really understand what this means. What "inside info" were Venuto and Johnson supposed to provide that wouldn't be gleaned from regular prep work, scouting and film study? I mean, are Alfred and Brockport not changing their play calls?
it would be useful if I was IC's new def coordinator to sit down with each coach
As a former Saxon I've lurked on these boards for a while now, but this comment prompted a response.
During my playing days I was in Coach Rankl's office watching some practice film and a Graduate Assistant (whose former team we were playing that week) came in and asked Coach Rankl if he could provide Coach Rankl with any insider knowledge to the opposing team's defense. Coach Rankl thanked him for his offer, but flatly refused. Whether it was confidence in AU's offense or sportsmanship, I'm not sure. It was a moment that made my proud to call him my coach if only for saving that GA the feeling of guilt for having turned on former teammates and coaches. As a former Saxon I'm proud to say that I played under such a coach.
Not much else to add, just a personal anecdote. Hoping to see AU do their best against Utica!
