I’d put King there instead of Buckshot. That dude has looked lethargic the whole game

What kills me is in the in game decision making.

I stand by what I have said many times before, we should have cut ties and taken our lumps in the first few years of the transition with a new staff.

You can win a few games just by having better talent then the team you are facing. With that being said I don't care if we win out and and win a bowl game he has to go.
1000% Unless we can have 8 months between games. We are pretty good, given that much time to game plan. 8) 8)

If LU had gone for it on 4th, I’m fine with the call. But to run on 3rd & 15 just to punt it on fourth. You don’t deserve your pay check. There is no defense for that decision making.

Zero.

None.
The 3rd down play was questionable. I actually understand why they did it, but obviously it didn’t work. I think they were trying to be too cute by half
You brought up the “execution” comment. You know as well as anyone you can’t take it in a vacuum. Has they executed a perfectly designed and called 2nd down play then it’s a moot point
I don’t understand it, if you’re not considering yourself in 4-down territory. You’ve been moving it through the air the whole quarter. If you’re running on third to set up going for it on 4th, I get it.

It’s not in a vacuum. 2nd Down execution was poor. If it’s better on 2nd, then 3rd down is a moot point - you’re absolutely right. But SECOND DOWN DIDNT GO AS PLANNED!! So you must adjust what you do on third down. Football is all about stop and go. Second down is over, it’s 3rd & 15. What do we do NOW?

I didn't have Army as a win for us, but watching the game tells me that we match up with them better than I thought. It's a disappointing outcome.

The 3rd down play was trying to be too cute by half as I said. Not going for it on 4th also makes no sense.

So if we matchup decently, what’s the problem?

I hate it when adults make ignorant stupid mistakes for which kids pay the price.

Ok. I can roll with that.

We both know real Big Boy football kicks off at 6:00pm anyway.

Our boys look done. Value to effort guys. We alumni love you. It’s hard to win ‘em when the coaching staff is against you, too.
