That goes down to recruiting able players.
CP, heck yes it has to do with players ability as well. I interpreted his comments as more about execution and fundamentals. Also, that recruiting thing.Charleston Pony wrote:lwjr wrote:Coaches teach how to carry the ball tight to the body.

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.
seriously? I guess it has nothing to do with the players lack of ability
You can hate JJ all you want. We showed huge progress today. D played very well, O played great, special teams is shaky. We were never going to lose that game.redpony wrote: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.
You are talking like Memphis is a top 50 team. Great game or great first half? If that guy had not gotten called for leaping over the goal line on the int we would have been in trouble. I knew the JJ supporters would talk like we just beat Alabama if they beat Memphis.Mustangsabu wrote:You can hate JJ all you want. We showed huge progress today.

Today we were underdogs on the road and we annihilated Memphis in the first half. Next week we roll the Owls at home. Great game by JJ.
Concur 100%. Let's not make that mistake again.ALEX LIFESON wrote:Coaches changed the game plan in the second half, took the foot off the gas and went passive.
Memphis' mistakes did not stop them winning this game. Our mistakes made the score respectable. We owned that game.PoconoPony wrote:Despite all the mistakes made by Memphis this game could easily have been an OT game if their field goal kicker had converted a short range try in the first quarter.
