Credit where credit is due

Post by CalallenStang »

The coaching staff had the team ready and a good gameplan for the first half.

It's too bad that I can't give any credit at all for the second half.

they did come out firing on all cylinders and that was fun, but that was textbook how NOT to play with a big lead. To be fair, I doubt that's something this team never considered they would have to deal with

Coaches changed the game plan in the second half, took the foot off the gas and went passive.

alex - i disagree - they were just calling block headed stuff - and horrible clock mgmt. If anything they didn't take foot off gas enough. Needed our running game to step up - but they were afraid to try that.

I had the feeling that Rutgers took the foot off the pedal against us with a 21point lead. They raked their coach over the coals as well.

Not to interrupt the JJ hate, but it's not like they stopped playing. My TV is pretty good, and it was Shead who got stripped, not JJ. It was Gilbert who threw the pick-6, not JJ. Didn't see him drop a single pass, either. I'm not saying he was perfect. Far from it. But all season, we have started out slowly. Today, we didn't, so that's an improvement, and I'm in favor of improvement. Above all, an ugly win (and make no mistake, this win was ugly) is better than a pretty loss.

Agree with you gostang. We made incompletions stopping the clock when we could have run the ball and taken time off the clock. I know JJ suck ups like Thumper/Corso want to blame the players but the coaches are just as responsible for the play calling.

emphasis on protecting the ball is part of the coaching job. If the ball carrier is sloppy when handling the ball it reflects on his coaching.

Coaches teach how to carry the ball tight to the body. Coaches teach QB's to not lock in on a receiver, to make better decisions on the field. Yes it does fall on the coaches.

Play formations, clock management and play calls in 4th Q get an F. Shead fumbled but Gilbert shouldn't be passing in that situation. What did we take 25 seconds off the clock with 5 minutes left. that's ridiculous. Put in TE-preferably 2 TEs or a FB and run the damn ball. Oh don't have those formations or players? Right poor program management too. Most program even those that spread the field have Jumbo packages. No team is out of it when June has a big lead. Just like Tulsa last year
