Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 37950, member: 289"] - The aggressive, intimidating defense of last week vanished. We gave up a ridiculous 355 yards passing and 34 points to a team that had scored 6 points and passed for 74 yards against Army. Xavier Rush had caught 1 pass for 9 yards this season. In this game he caught 4 for 135 yards and two scores. Kevyn Scott looked as if he was on “Dancing With the Stars” while Keon Lyn got voted off the island. - Meanwhile the offense which looked versatile and potent for 27 minutes, (232 yards, 31 points), went absolutely in the tank after that, (124 yards, 6 points, including five straight 3 and outs with the game in the balance). It looked like we were going to score 60 points but we never got close to it. - It’s a broken record but Ryan Nassib needs to pass a lot and quickly to be effective. In the first three games he was 74 for 102, (.725). Since then he’s 47 for 85, (.553). We keep trying to establish the run and force Nassib to pass when we have to and the other team knows it. We aren’t using it as a proactive weapon, which it needs to be. - Alec Lemon and Van Chew had 39 catches in the first three games. They have 12 in the last three. Graham and West have 11 catches in those games so it’s not just because they are using other wideouts. Two of our best weapons are being taken out of the game. - I’m tired of short passes to receivers who have no blocking in front of them. “YAC” is a good thing but it’s not a strategy. - Michael Hay should change his name to Michael Hold. He had three holding calls tonight. Also Zach Chibane continues to be a revolving door. - Duke 48 Tulane 27. Army 45 Tulane 6. Syracuse 37 Tulane 34. Yeech. This was our last chance to have an easy, confidence building win. Every other team we play is either going to kick our butts or maybe he can claw and scratch our way to another skin-of-our teeth win. Nothing will come easy for this team- or it’s fans. - Rooting for your team should be fun. I can’t say that it is. I’ll keep doing it. But I’m not having fun. Are you? [/QUOTE]
