Just can't get it out of my head


Nov 13, 2016, 4:14 PM

5 minutes left. Up by 8. About to score again or at the very least get a fg to clinch it.ESPN had us a 99.8% chance to win. We inexplicably throw and intercepted for 70 yard return giving them a short field

Then when we are about to escape we can't convert a 3rd and 1 two strait plays. Instead of run up the gut twice we call a pitch play... twice

Just mind boggling. Good news is a lot of teams lost which gives us another life. With that being said yesterday was an ultimate choke job on play calling. We got arrogant in our play calling. The officiating was horrendous, especially being the home team but it shouldn't have ever got down to that.

End of rant

I'll tell you why.....THE COACHES have not learned


Nov 13, 2016, 4:18 PM

their lessons from past and clueless when it comes to real time scenarios and put our players in high risk situations that cost us. Majority of our wins should be blow outs based on talents but coaches call plays that are beyond comprehension....

Bingo. Bad bad play calling. It caught up with us. Hope Tony and Jeff learn.

Can anyone help them find the jet sweep!?

Yes I went through shock, denial, anger, grief, and acceptance all in about four hours. I look at it this way: we should've lost in NC State, so we traded it for Pitt. Karma. Play with fire enough, you're going to get burned

As bad as it is we are fortunate to have only 1 loss***

Could have run the jet sweep to get to the edge with Scott or McCloud to get the 2 yards. Our running game was anemic yesterday.

That has been the case for running game just about all season.

I'm glad someone else realizes that with an 8 point lead, 5 minutes to go in the game, & you have the ball on the opponents 5 yard line, you don't throw the ball. If we had run it 3 times, regardless of whether or not we get a TD, we take over 2 minutes off the clock,& then kick the chip shot fg (like an extra point) ,go up by 11 with less than 3 minutes remaining. We really did not need a td in this situation. The only way,in my opinion that we could have lost the game is the way we did. We threw a pass, had a long interception return, & have a relatively quick TD scored on us. I personally liked going for it on 4th down, but he play call was awful ! Jumbo package going straight ahead or between guard & tackle is a lot easier to make than going left & outside.I don't mind losing to teams that are better or equally as good as us. However, when you lose at home to a team like Pitt,blame is squarely on the coaching staff, Dabo , Brent, Jeff, & Tony. Hopefully,as much as our players need to get ready for the rest of the season, our coaches do as well. Lets not talk about how bad the officiating was-truly awful, but we should be able to get over bad calls when we are playing a team the caliber of Pitt at home !! GOOO TIGERS !!!
