for all the issues this game had

[upperdeck]

the game really turned on things we could control

1) dont drop/field a punt under pressure
2) dont run into each other and drop a INT
3) dont drop a slant TD pass
4) dont run out of bounds on a 90 yd play when you dont have too
5) dont get called for holding when you dont need too
6) dont let replays come back to haunt you ( not really something we can control but )

thats at least 28 pt swing. Lou maxed out its offense and we minned? ours

100% yes. Last years team minimized those sorts of mistakes and would have won this game.

That's why it was so frustrating. Not to take anything away from Louisville, but we screwed ourselves up.

I'll get flamed but all 6 of those are not new to this year and IMHO assigned to the coaching staff. We are an unfocused, undisciplined football team and that is on the adults.

really? none of those have anything to do with Discipline or coaching

 

[PAcuse]

This year is all our bad bounces we missed last year hitting us in the face all at one time.
Sure we have other things to fix but man anytime something is 50/50 going bad or good it's been bad most it not a shockingly high amount of time. Last year it was the opposite.

It seems like everything this team does it does as a group. Somebody screws up and it's like a virus running through the team ASAP. Somebody does something well and they get a shot of vitamin a-z.

I don't know. Stupid holding penalties and dropped passes have happened often enough and with enough different players that some of that has to be assigned to a lack of focus and attention to detail. Those aren't entirely on coaching but some of it is.

It seems like this whole stupid college game day thing fiasco just put this team into one serious funk they never got out of...thinking of the future instead of focusing on the now. Silly fantasy crap instead of the meat and potatoes of the game.
