First I thought we won on Sales' catch. Then I thought maybe Nassib didn't get in on the sneak. Thankfully Holtz called a TO and we were able to score.
Some other thoughts:
-Nassib had a nice game. Can we tell him that USF is our opponent every week and tell Lemon we are playing UConn? A big reason for his success is the...
-The OL has played great as of late. The are doing a good job giving Nassib time and the running game is all them. Our RBs stink, speaking of which...
-Man do I really hope one of the RS RBs is good because we are being hurt by our current group. PTG is nothing more than a role player. Smith is a nice #2 back but he leaves lots of yards on the field and rarely makes a move. I give him credit for running hard through those holes (thanks OL) but he is not a threat. Which brings up personnel...
-Smith has shown a lack of hands so why is he in on 3rd and goal from the 5? PTG dances too much so why was he in on 4th and 1? Odd choices IMO. However...
-Great call going for it on 4th and 1. I wonder if Krautman was hitting his FGs does Marrone kick it there? Sticking with RK...
-What the hell is wrong with Krautman? This is ongoing for nearly two years now. I hope we have a plan B to at least push for the job next year. While we are on pushing...
-Our D got pushed the around. Awful job. The LBs were totally invisible and the weakness of the unit truly showed. I really don't get what happened out there. At first I thought maybe it was system. Pitt, RU, and UConn all used more pro style while USF used more of a spread. However we did a great job against NW's spread so that can't be it. Hopefully it was just a bad day as Cincy and UL are better teams. Staying with the D...
-I thought Lyn made a lot of nice plays out there. He did get beat for the TD but that was a great throw. Another playmaker who was huge...
-How about Esk with the blocked punt? I still don't get how Esk or Desir cannot break through at FS. Those two make a lot of plays out there. Which is a decision made by the...
-Coaching was all over the place. The team was sloppy, disorganized, and undisciplined again. That is getting old at this point. However kudos for getting the kids to "brush it off" after falling behind by 20 points.
-But then again the fact that we were down 23-3 to USF is unacceptable. The D was just lost all day. Another one of those hit or miss games by Shafer.
-The redzone play calling was just awful. The team tenses up and it seems like the coaches do too. The pace slows down and how many times do we need to take TOs there? What is the rule on losing a helmet? Can you take a TO and get the kid back in? If so awful job not using one to get Nassib on. I thought the 2nd half TO was dumb. TOs in the 2nd half are gold. I rather take a delay of game making it 3rd and goal at the 10 then use a TO. Risk, reward.
-I thought it was a good call on the last play. Passing gives you two cracks at a score while a run would have been a one player.
-2 point conversions. IMO we should have gone for 2 after the first TD. I want to try and cut it down to 1 there because I have no faith in the D making a stop. If you make it then USF can get a TD and you are still in the game. If you don't make it then you are down 3. Yes you take away the chance of a game winning FG, but you cannot lose by going for 2. You can lose by going for 1. The last TD, we should have taken a knee. You are not losing by a FG there. Why risk a return or a blocked PAT?
A win is a win is a win. That is all that really matters. Hopefully we can have more games where we put things together for more than one half. We will need to do so in the next three games. Just need to win one of three to have a really good shot at a Bowl. The season was on the line last week. It was such an important game. Now the next two we won't have to exactly be on edge. Hopefully with the added margin of error (which we haven't had since the Minny L), will allow everyone to be a lot more looser. It has been a long line of "must win" games.
