huge DART game Saturday, culture wise and how hard the guys fight...we may not win, but can not lose by 30
I think you mean wax, but yeah. The difference is it’s easier to tell a white lie with injury status. If carney were to start he’d be facing more questions about the change of heart.Im not going to be surprised to see Luke walk out there as the starter on Saturday night.
Even if Fran was making the switch, he would have said what he said in the presser. 0.0% chance that Fran wants Pitt to have any idea Carney is playing.
Do we not remember Pena last year at Pitt? All week Fran told us there was no way that Pena would play, too injured etc.
Guess who played at Pitt last year? Pena.
I generally like to get to my seat about 30mins before kickoff because I enjoy watching warmups and seeing who's injured etc. will be keeping an eye on the QBs.Im not going to be surprised to see Luke walk out there as the starter on Saturday night.

I think Fran still goes with Ricky. Now if he comes out and continues to play poorly after two weeks of practice you may see a change. Fran is very loyal but he hates losing and if he thinks he cannot win with Ricky he will eventually make a change.Im not going to be surprised to see Luke walk out there as the starter on Saturday night.

I'm not sure this is Nixon being "stubborn" or that the solutions are as simple or obvious as you imply.
We are averaging about 34 rushing attempts per game and 42 passing attempts, even with the early scoring deficits that have dictated more passing. The problem is not the play calling as much as it is the ineffectiveness of the rushing offense (3.3 yds/attempt). Yup, we have "big guys" on the line, but they have not been good at run blocking for the most part. That's systemic more than it is play calling, IMO.
Play action is not nearly as effective without the rushing threat. And this is further compounded by teams forcing RC to throw.
We have seen what Nixon's offense can do when QB1 is effective. Any real improvement has to start there.
Neither Willis or Nixon are explosive backs. Neither have any wiggle to their game.Well, if our QB is under-performing in the throwing game, you lean on the rush, right?
Between Willis and Nixon, I think we have a couple capable guys. If you think each of them is lacking a bit, individually, put them in together, so the defense has to account for both.
Now who’s overreacting?I’m convinced Luke Carney doesn’t exist. You can throw him in the same category as Chance Westry

It was also Pena.
Was tailgating with his mom and she was being very tight lipped about it and then she went into the stadium because she wanted to watch warm-ups. We knew he was playing immediately because why would she want to watch warm-ups if she knew her son was out? Also she would not say if he was playing or not which felt funny because Fran said he was not.
Shortly after the news broke he was playing.

Do you actually think he was not joking himself?
Considering he dislikes all of my comments probably not.Do you actually think he was not joking himself?
I want to see more Tyrik HillNeither Willis or Nixon are explosive backs. Neither have any wiggle to their game.
In fairness, you dole out more stilettos than Al BundyConsidering he dislikes all of my comments probably not.
Hey, I was just wondering where you'd disappeared to.I’m convinced Luke Carney doesn’t exist. You can throw him in the same category as Chance Westry
I’m right here partner! How’s it going?Hey, I was just wondering where you'd disappeared to.
Great. Thanks. I literally hadn't seen you post in a few days. But I'm not reading every thread. Not enough time to. So I might have not seen them.I’m right here partner! How’s it going?
Just been taking a little break for the last few days I’ve posted maybe twice a day. The football negativity has been really weighing me down. Don’t have much to say really. Carney needs to get a look, Collins is horrible, our season is basically over unfortunately. Waiting for basketball season to kick into gearGreat. Thanks.

Yeah I get it. But maybe take the longer view that maybe Fran is playing now for the longer term. RC is hard to watch si I concentrate not just on the result but watching the players that are enjoyable to watch play.
