Dareon Nash To the transfer Portal

I thought both were pretty good corners. Calhoun seemed more consistent than Nash. Nash was good most of the time, and then would seem to goof up (too often). I too noticed that Calhoun seemed to get to picked on at times, later in the season. Always wondered what was happening, I talked to a secondary coach about mid-season about the corners, so know the coaches' views generally. But that was before Calhoun gave up several passes in a row in several games.

It's almost like opponents began picking up Calhoun's tendencies on film and began exploiting those weaknesses....something materially changed for him about halfway through the season....very strange.

About halfway thru the season, some one on here posted, "I wonder if Calhoun can be a true shut down corner, teams don't seem to want to throw to that side." After this statemen, the majority of the teams began to really exploit Calhouns weaknesses.

maybe the U did not offer graduate classes he needed or he did not get accepted into the grad program he wanted.

Exactly what I was thinking. Transfer to a scholarship offering school and knock out your first of two years free.

It really was simple: Montana's defense left Calhoun on an island. On almost every play. No help, no subs. Just straight up man to man. Even the best cover guys would've been exploited from time to time. The kid is a 5-10, 170-pound converted slot receiver. His competitiveness was second to none. But even All-Big Sky corners will give up completions in Montana's current defensive scheme.

And when your dline cant get pressure a quarterback will have time to let his receivers beat a 1 on 1 coverage. More a front line issue than Calhoun being the problem. Good thing some tansfer help is coming to fix the issues up front....oh wait , no signs of that. The new safeties converted to corner better get used to being on that island since the dline lost players to graduation and other reasons will result a very young crew having to try and hold their own. Not a great recipe....without a experienced dominant dline the rest of the defense gets made to look subpar., just like without a quality oline the backs have no where to run.

That's what I thought too. I actually didn't recall it as much late in the season. There were a few games in a row when it was quite noticeable. I missed some games too. Two weeks at rugby World Cup in Japan, Dartmouth homecoming, 49ers v Panthers, and Dartmouth v. Princeton in Yankee stadium. Had a lot of fun, tho.

Good to know and good point. However, in 2 or 3 games, there were streaks when the other teams kept going after him and they completed a bunch of passes. I think that's what caught a lot of people's attention. He was our best corner. I thought he played quite well the past couple years, except for those bad streaks in several games (at least).

Against Weber State for example, Calhoun gave up every single one of Ty McPherson's six catches for more than 150 yards. But that was the one thing Montana was giving Weber. If Constantine could stand in there and fire a strike, he'd have a 15-20 yard completion. But he would get hit. And Montana brought the heat from start to finish, hitting Constantine 30+ times and eventually knocking him out of the game. Montana basically traded giving up some yards to McPherson to brutalize the quarterback.

So what changed from the first half to the second half of the season? Just the quality of the opponents?

 

[sdk.catfish]

So does this mean that Robby Hauck is the most experienced cover guy we got in the secondary? Ruh-roh

 

[Silenoz]

Dam Hauck is toxic.

Your shtick is very one note

Seemed to me that about half way through the season the refs started to call PI on Calhoun for minor contact. Like he got a reputation and opposing teams would tell the refs that he was a serial PI guy. I thought he was being picked on because the other teams knew they would get a call.

It also appeared that receivers learned that he was vulnerable to their acting ability to draw a call.
