The hard question

Postby couch 'em » Sun Sep 04, 2011 9:14 pm

Year 4 of June Jones. Bigger recruiting budget and better talent available. Still no offense like Hawaii. What is the problem? Where us the run 'n shoot?

we run pretty well behind this OL and with Zach...it's the shoot part of the equation that is lacking. Padron panicked and McDermott has been the backup because he is not mobile and not really very accurate with his throws

we will feel better when we get this game behind us. Let's hope we can compete with TCU this year

I expect these guys to bounce back...but we do now have a QB controversy

Real problem is we don't have a QB as accurate as Colt brennan and Timmy Change were. On kyle's second pick the guy was wide open if you hit him in stride if he makes one guy miss its a TD, same on some of the plays with McDermot. we have oppertunities but we can't execute

the jog/chat to the sideline is the issue - stops all game momentum. it must end

A no huddle R&S could be lethal, not sure why Jones needs to talk with the QB before every play.

The little jog/chat is something I have never freaking understood.

If we lose one of the next 3 games it will be a tough year.

Give me a break. The sideline jig didn't hurt in Hawaii. You guys are silly if you think that is causing our crap O.

Brennan, I will give you, but Chang was not accurate. 57% completion percentage and 80 career INTs.

It's was the first game against a top 10 team. Let's reserve judgement until, say, mid season.

Plenty to be judged this week and there's 6 days left until the next game. Saw a lot tonight I'd rather not see again.
