I don't know where we lost a second.Probably could have saved some more seconds, but we've all seen worse clock management, that's for sure. At least I understood what Fran was thinking. Couldn't say that all the time with Dino.
He needs to step up. We have other guysHolding onto Dino's legacy.
Absolutely nailed it.Dino wouldn't have called time outs and ran the clock out when they got the ball back. After a touchdown.
WowBarron may be the most overrated player we have.
This 100%Stack the box make them pass
They can’t pass on us. They are behind. It’s crucial to get a TD on the first drive so they have to pass. It’s over, if we can do thatThis is so strange because I feel so good about the offense, but kind of horrible about the defense. But but let’s see what happens in the second half and if they come out, looking a little bit different before really judging. The Barron really has been a disappointment.
Tends to stare down his receiver a bit too much. Needs to move the defense with his eyes. But that’s my only criticism. I love watching him throw the ball. He’s a stellar leader and QB.I promise I'm not trying to pick on our prior QBs who are all talented in their own way, and I know this was simply one half of football vs. a MAC team, but one thing I really like about McCord is that unlike Eric/Garrett he can put genuine zip on the ball, and unlike Tommy he doesn't get flustered after his first option his unavailable.
Then when we got the ball back down 3 he would've ran because he was so scared to turn it over. If we score we pummel the ball into the ground and beat a crap team by a little bit and then we start to talk about "not seeing the entire playbook" while it's the same crap we ran 6 years ago when it didn't work.Absolutely nailed it.
lolWe can’t escape these brain dead clock management coaches
Great clock management by Fran. Gotta come out and put a TD up to open the lead up and then start playing physical and make them throw
That clock management was absolutely masterful. Obviously the team has a lot to work on, but to do that in the first quarter of game one with a new staff and re-tooled roster? Super impressive.
I don’t think Dino ever used a TO on defense to preserve clock. I don’t think he even knew it was allowed.Give Fran credit, fantastic clock management there. Dino would have never used 2 TOs
