you can run without the ball

 

[orangezen]

Unreal .. we needed to keep D off the field .. id love a grind it out meathead offense now

You can keep the ball longer if you run it more.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Every down felt like a passing down. No push from the line.

It sucks so much seeing other teams get 6 yards when there is no hole and we are lucky to get 1-2.

Just look at the 3rd and 2 and then 4th and inches. Tucker did well to not lose yardage there but we still blew it on 4th.

 

[PAcuse]

Better yet can we explain why we won’t use the fing TE.
Benson is a major weapon.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I think he got an owie. He was on the sideline without a helmet.

Pierre was in for the 4th qtr.

we threw 5-6 to the TEs today , i guess we could throw to them every time but then we needed to block someone

 

[Cuse69]

So many quick 3 and out's also, we know the offense is struggling, a 6 play drive ending in a punt where we at least get a first down and some runs you'd figure would help a bit more than 3 crappy passes and hoping for a hail mary big play

I’ll have to watch again it I only remember 3

BC does, their season and future is much brighter than ours.

 

[upperdeck]

we could throw more to them for sure.. but most places thats the 2-3rd option throws and we dont have that play in the play book

Because gilbert is awful, usf practically ran him out of town, he was lucky he had flowers when he got their, he was awful without him, never understood the hire he's an awful play caller and not some great recruiter. Before anyone turns to his "success" at texas- they went 5-7 and got fired, it'd be pretty hard to be at texas with all that talent and not score in the Big 12.

I’ll hold off judgement for a hit.
Round one of him and Dino worked out well
I think the injuries plus QB issues are our biggest issues.
Gilbert is much better then what we had after Lewis.

I'm biased I'll admit it, I've got nothing against the guy but when I saw the signing researched and remembered who he was I didn't like it, watching some of the USF games when he was their seemed like they were going up the river without a paddle, our offense last year looked like that at times but I figured dino got who he wanted, I even did a quick twitter search of his name (oh no, don't do it!!) and usf guys are killing him especially unc runs. Seems like he's a hard worker which is nice but idk about him.

I get it but watch some non USF games.

 

[GoSU96]

Think they took his helmet from him in the second half

Crap. Not another injury.

I watched the first quarter of the BYU game and I think they were using 3 step drops and passes to TE's almost every play. Didn't watch much after that, could have changed.

 

[NineOneSeven]

His first two runs were like 7/8. Ridiculous that he didn’t get more touches.

 

[BVille44]

I believe he got injured. They show him on the sidelines near the bench without his helmet on and appeared to be doing some stretches.

I thought we had a few 2nd and shorts and we then pass twice and go 3 and out. When Tucker gets 7 on first down and it's 2nd and 3 we should be going right back to him and try to at least move the chains. We had 11 first downs yet again. That's pathetic. The kid averaged 4.4 ypc - 11 for 53. He's the only bright spot on that side of the ball. He NEEDS 20 carries a game to maybe move the chains and keep the defense off the field.

The defense is being decimated with all the snaps they're seeing. Duke ran 102 plays today.

 

[upperdeck]

I agree they tried to be aggressive in those spots and the worst part us many were open but we failed on almost all of them.. I would have stuff to the run a bit more before running to play action too.

Most places that's true, but when they're better than all but one of your recievers, they need to be featured more. I think I saw on gameday that Florida's TE is leading the country in TD receptions.
