Two guys on the field with the same jersey number. That’s a deal right there, right. Once again it appears we can’t get out of our own way. I watch a lot of football and I have never seen that penalty happen so I guess everyone else has that one figured out. I mean if it’s a penalty why would a coach even allow two guys to have the same number assigned to them? Seems like a pretty easy deal to fix, right?

Penalties and more penalties. How do we still have linemen that jump offsides in key situations?

We have some major pass coverage problems too. There are guys running wide open on almost every play.

1st half has looked a lot like 2022.

We’ve got a few guys that look like Meyer/spurrier era players waiting to happen. Unfortunately it’s too few. With our 65 administrative staff do we not have anybody in charge of making sure we don’t put duplicate numbers on the field? Mertz has started looking at the rush, that’s no bueno

Oh good. We still like
To take timeouts early in the 3rd quarter
On defense
Right after a change of possession

This team is poorly coached on so many levels. Very disappointed, and I really, really want Napier to survive. Sadly, it doesn't seem like he wants to.

You think Scott Stricklin is watching this?

Great catch for the TD. Not sure I'm down with the 2pt conversion, but it worked.

Look, the reality is we aren’t the type of team that is going to convert a 3rd and 5. Therefore, we cannot have a false start or two guys wearing the same number killing our drives. Our margin of error is so slim. We are now Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Except we lose to them.

We're aren't the type of team that is going to convert a 3rd and anything. Gators were 1 for 13 last night on 3rd down.

Before this game I told a friend that our only hope was an ugly down in the dirt game, keep it close and get a play. "Kick the FGs early, coach!", I said. The game opening bomb changed that a little bit but the concept held up. After the first play, the defense held them to 17 points and 200 yards of offense. Key mistakes made for a 10-14 point swing, or the game would have been a nail-biter like last year. But the RDB offense made so many mistakes that they were never in a groove, never really had a chance.
Now, in spite of some timing issues with Pearsall, Graham Mertz was much better than expected. But I never expected to have NO running game! That was pathetic - we didn't even try to run the ball. It's like RDB gets an idea "we'll fool them and throw the hell out of Mertz" and never comes back to the game itself as it is playing out. Even when your passing attack is working, you have to run the ball to keep it working. Otherwise, you get maybe, I don't know, about 5 drive-killing sacks. Throw in several (many!) dumb penalties, and well, you only score 11 points all night. Run the ball Billy!

You think Scott Stricklin is watching this? I don't think that's the question, it's whether Sasse will ever come down from his perceived lofty intellectual perch long enough to realize that Stricklin and his buck-toothed puppeteer are an utter and complete disgrace to a storied institution and program. This is worth a quick recap: Wouldn't move on from McGoober until he got himself fired by making up death threats and casting aspersions at the fanbase and even then gave him some of his buyout. Stood by his man when Mullen got a show-cause, refused to move on from Grantham, and tried to drum up NFL interest by leaking that he was open to leaving (this is kind of like pretending to have a girlfriend in Canada to impress the ladies although that's more believable). Once he did move on from Mullen (after the Darth Vader costume following his audition tape to be a pro wrestling heel) he left him in place long enough to poison the existing roster and recruiting class. But here's where it really gets fun, let's go outside football shall we? Basketball: Mike White. That's all. Cam Newbauer: he tried to bury it and keep his guy in place, it took an article bringing his lack of oversight and dereliction of duty to light. Forget being proactive he wasn't privately reactive, it had to be public before he did jackshit. In the throes of Newbauer he hired and then fired D'Amato. Can't make this shit up. I guess we can leave the O'Sullivan story alone but it would be easier to do if there had been some kind of internal investigation and, more importantly, we were dealing with someone who had earned on scintilla of leeway when it comes to institutional control. Short story long: Stricklin should be gone already, probably needs to go before a decision is made on Napier, and must be gone if Napier has to go. I think he knows the last part which means he's never going to be the one to pull the trigger on his last chance. Guys the ultimate cockroach in the world of Collegiate Athletics (not personally, don't know him, could be a great guy or a douchebag), he somehow survives self induced cataclysmic events. |
