Official: SMU at Memphis Thread

[PonySnob]

Would an IPF have helped?

[Lebanese4Life]

Someone said that we have below average talent but what they forgot to say is that it is below average D1AA talent.

give me a break. i'm the biggest JJ hater there is - but below D1AA average talent is pushing it. quit overestimating coaching and underestimating the talent

Next year's Defense maybe worse-because we may play 13-15 Real/True Freshman

But if they are more talented, then why a drop off?

Its gonna be fun next year-hopefully some SMU fans learn how you turn a program for future reference

I don't disagree with you in principle.
That said, how many programs turned around from 56-0 at half and a school record points given up in a season?

This is looking hundred-years-storm bad

It won't be worse... Maybe as bad. But you can't be worse than this.

If nothing else I expect them to play with more fire... These guys are going through the motions.

this will be a fun thread to read in about 3 years-everybody get your shots in.

What about the talent at TCU? Last week?

[sbsmith]

If you think we don't have a major talent issue then you are delusional. Did you not see that Memphis wr outrun our secondary for 40 yards?

It's Van Malone's fault they can't run fast.

[Rebel10]

We have a talent issue. Most certainly. That is not the only problem here.

As a fanbase we have GOT to stop being so myopic. There are MUCH broader problems with our football team and our athletics generally.

Specifically what can the administration do differently?

[SMUer]

Bad coaching is going on here. They weren't the creme de la creme athletes but we didn't recruit the team ball boys either. They can run, reasonably fast; they do have arms which you can teach how to properly tackle, you can teach position/coverages/assignments/stunts/leverage/etc. I see no improvement and mostly what looks like lack of preparation. I'm not saying Van is not capable, but he didn't do much of a job this year and if I was Chad, I'd be mad because slightly better than bad defense would've won us some games.

Fuente calling off the dogs to start the second half

Agree.

No. 1 Clemson 21 South Carolina 3 with the players Chad recruited

Yeah, Clemson & SMU, great comparison!

[Stallion]

btw there are about 4 guys on defense playing major minutes that didn't even get Division 1AA scholarships because they came to SMU as walkons

[Pony Boss]

That's how you punt.
