Great stuff on the run. Not sure why GW didn't pull the ball out and try to get the corner.

EDIT: And our coaching staff isn't aware enough to be ready for a 4th and 1 try by GW. This is becoming worse than I could have imagined.

You are right. Injuries are not an excuse they are THE reason.

I'm really trying to stay positive with this coaching staff. I'm having an incredibly difficult time doing so.

injuries?

they're not blitzing or putting pressure on the QB. giving the QB all the time to pick Liberty apart. That's coaching and doesn't it sounds familiar. I don't think Liberty is missing anyone in the DL/LB

running 4 straight plays, not even up the middle either on 1st and 4 was a joke

If the person in front of you is bigger and stronger than you, which GW appears to be compared to our line, coaching is not going to get you around them
If you wanna blitz you better have good coverage people. I'm not ure how good ours are.

You may want to run plans and schemes, but if you don't have the personnel, you cant

I appreciate those here who are always looking for the positive, but I hope that after this game more rational thought will prevail on this board.

Something is wrong with this program right now.

That's easy. We do not have a talent level equal to those of our opponents.

Wow. Flames. Wow. I was wronged. They may not win but 2 or 3 this year, unless they make a huge comeback.

We DESTROYED GW the last 3 years. Our talent level has not dropped off that much in 1 season.

Yes it has. Look at our roster the last 3 years. Look at it now.

On my fake HD feed on FSN it appears that the O and D lines of GW are bigger and stronger then we are. It also appears they are faster on the outside on O and D as well.

Chalk that one up to injury. Inexperienced player who didn't know what to do.

Back in August, we called this a reloading year. We're in full-blown rebuilding mode. I just hope some of these recruits weren't promised the moon, and will stick around. Otherwise the years of Liberty's dominance in the Big South may be over.
