4th downs are going wrong for us this year badly

[Millhouse]

we're 13th in attempts and 112th in conversion percentage

this doesn't mean we should go for it less, but it's part of the reason

0-6 with a pick on 4th down passing (devito is 0-5 with a pick)

i don't remember where these plays came or if they matter much in the end but once we're competent again, going for it more will help us get more plays for the offense and fewer for the defense

3rd and 1 is a lost cause.. not sure why 4th and anything would work.

all the more reason in the red zone to call the plays in a different order.. I love TE throws but do it early not late in the series.

3rd and 1 failures are to be celebrated, at least it wasn't 3rd and 13

we got into some good spots in the FSU game and failed.. maybe how the last few drives went it bleeds into some better run sets this week

What exactly has gone right?

 

[upperdeck]

we get into those spots and the teams just blitz us to death.. maybe we need to just live with that and release the TEs.

We've shown up to each game on time.

What exactly has gone right?

Uniforms are sharp.

Band has a lot of tubas.

Home crowds have been good.

That's all I got.

 

[PhatOrange]

it's obviously one of the reasons why we're not going for it in spots we normally would. (and then the game day thread goes bonkers.)

We still need more tubas. I’m pretty sure FSU band has double the tubas we have. They had 32 just on the current band

 

[SmilinBob]

Have to get Servais some Culvers and flap jacks.

FSU has one of the best marching bands in the country. SU has more tubas than it has had in years. 2019 SUMB is pretty much = 2018 SU football, in regards to tubas.

I hope that doesnt mean we are going to expect even more tubas next year and come out with less lol

A skinny tuba player will scream at the drum major several times.

"this doesn't mean we should go for it less"... Ohhhh YES IT DOES!!!

That is unless you are completely out of options and the game clock dictates it.

It's almost laughable. SInce we are 0%, we are automatically at the bottom of the stack ranks.

We might want to start thinking about punting with third and long. It'll save wear and tear on the QBs. Prior to the snap, those LBs and DBs on the opposing teams look like racehorses straining at the gate before the bell.

The fans won't like it much. But the Devito family, the team doctors and the teams insurance company might like it.

Exactly!

That is, unless five of those nine yards were the result of a penalty on the defense.

Small sample, try to win. We are behind a lot

Yeah. I get it.

But I keep thinking about that saying, "When you are in a hole the first thing you do is stop digging."

I think about the saying, try to win and don't stupidly give the other team the ball when you need it

 

[upperdeck]

field position play a huge part of this too. hard to be aggressive inside your own 30 all game
