He appeared to be searching down field and the TV obviously doesn’t show it, I’m just curious. I’d be a little surprised if separation was the issue and not decision making, but I may be wrong.

Re: ULL discussion
So very true. My understanding is that is fairly normal in practice. That is why I think it is a nervous issue.ah59396 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 10:32 amIt’s a shame, because when he’s dialed in he throws a beautiful ball.

Re: ULL discussion
Their O line dominated our D line and their D line dominated our O line, consistently.Factor in a lack of ball security and you have the recipe for the ass whippin' we endured.

In the 16 seasons (1989-2004) BEFORE Jerry Moore won his first title, he won two-thirds of his games (128-64), took 10 different teams to the I-AA playoffs, and finished under .500 just once (1993).pop5app wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 6:34 amWhat I saw tonite I have been seeing for a year and a half: I hate to say it but this team and last years team resemble our FCS teams.

Lest we forget , it took coach Moore 15 years to find a Natty and some incredibly bad and embarrassing losses along the way! The eye test of these teams is way to similar to those teams and I personally probably don’t 15 years for Shawn to learn how to coach.

Re: ULL discussion
I mentioned similar “nut cutting” time, when the same situations occurred after the Miami game. So obvious a blind man should be able to see it.ericsaid wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 10:45 amAlso, as a coach, why would you not use your bigger backs in Smith and Castle when your offensive line isn't generating a ton of push but there are holes to the 2nd level? Obviously Noel is a cut away from a house call any given play, but at some point you need to worry about down and distance.bcoach wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 9:59 amIt looks to me like he gets nervous and makes bad decisions.

We didn’t have a clue last night. That isn’t amusing when the shoe is on our foot….Florida A&M, Virginia Tech, and Villanova flashbacks come to mind. Now we can add Louisiana as Billy Boy got his 2.acp wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 5:20 pmIn the 16 seasons (1989-2004) BEFORE Jerry Moore won his first title, he won two-thirds of his games (128-64), took 10 different teams to the I-AA playoffs, and finished under .500 just once (1993).pop5app wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 6:34 amWhat I saw tonite I have been seeing for a year and a half: I hate to say it but this team and last years team resemble our FCS teams.

Re: ULL discussion
If he can attain the success of Coach Moore we will be in fine shape. If we win a National Title in 15 years he will be the greatest coach of all time. If he wins three.................pop5app wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 6:34 amWhat I saw tonite I have been seeing for a year and a half: I hate to say it but this team and last years team resemble our FCS teams.

Re: ULL discussion

I will agree that game this week was the worse game I have seen our guys play in 7-8 years - Now, we all must remember that LA had just about all of their guys come back as well and them winning was no fluke - the fluke was how we played ---
