Message: [QUOTE="orangepassion, post: 3107604, member: 14"] [LIST] [*]Gotta give it up for the Defense keeping us in the game single handedly for 3 quarters [*]Not sure why Cordy played so much in this game over Scoop or even Stritzinger. At his height, it was a problem waiting to happen, even w/o the missed tackle that was the biggest defensive play of the game. [*]Speaking of that Cordy play, what was the story of the sideline stripe on that play? How is there an empty patch there? May have contributed to that big play-Wonder if that will be investigated. [*]Evan Foster after several years experience still taking bad angles, as he did on that play [*]Tackling improved overall, but still a little too much of missed tackle [*]I can't imagine how frustrated Alton and Kendall must be. Has Alton gotten 1 sack yet this year? We need to figure out a way to get something out of them, as they are being totally wasted [*]Part of how they were neutralized was running game and quick passes, which our offense needs to utilize more. Considering we refuse to ever run the QB or do we any run other than right up the middle, thought our running game was okay in the beginning and went away from it too quickly. [*]Is it a crime for us to do any outside runs? Didn't recall seeing 1 sweep until the game was out of reach. You can tell that the D often knows exactly what we're going to do [*]Obviously the INT was a killer, especially with where the game was at the time, but our blocking and playcalling isn't giving him much of a chance. [*]I don't seeing us beating anyone decent w/o running TD a few times a game to keep the D honest. I know they're scared of injury and I don't want him running 15 times/game, but we're not good enough and don't know if we'll ever be good enough on the line to lose that threat. Dino talks about OL growing up, but we're going to have to replace OL every year. There's got to be a happy medium. [*]That the staff is so scared to run him also speaks to our very disappointing QB recruiting (other than TD). Our backups are a walkon and a guy who committed originally committed to Shafer. That means our than a true Freshman who apparently looked pretty bad in preseason, this staff doesn't have one scholarship QB. [*]Hofrichter was the MVP with the DB's the best position group. Though the LB's were decent, too. [*]Our WR's look so skinny-We need some power there-Could Cam Jordan help in the red zone? [*]Think our TE's and RB's are underutilized in the passing game. They have some talent. [*]Disappointed Riley didn't return 1 or 2 where he had some space [*]Hope we didn't scare our casual fanbase. This was a gamble when we put everything-Homecoming, Tim Green etc. into a game against such a formidable opponent. Will be very interesting to see the attendance next weekend, which leads to: [/LIST] Going forward, WMU is a HUGE game and far from a gimme. They have a ton back from last year, when we barely escaped by the skin of our teeth. I think we will have a much better idea of what this year's this team will be after that game. If we lose that game, it could get ugly. If we can beat them and especially if the offense can show they can score some points, every ACC bowl game is still a possibility. I also believe it's a prove it game and season for the staff and team as a whole to show that we can win w/o Dungey (for a full game) against a solid team. We haven't demonstrated that to this point (under Babers or Shafer) and bears watching. [/QUOTE]
