Extremely contradictory. I was thinking the same thing when I saw it on Appfan.Appsolutely wrote:"Anybody besides me find these statements contradictory?
I don't think they're contradictory. A player can play "pretty hard" and make an effort but if there's no energy then it won't be to much avail. And even if the statements do seem contradictory they come from 2 different people with 2 differenct perspectives. Coaches are darned if they do and darned if they don't when commenting on games lke this. Coach Moore is trying to be as positive as he can be with his comments and many will find fault in that but if he was as honest as many want him to be them others would find fault in that. It's hard for me to criticize a coach for using "coachspeak".Appsolutely wrote:"This is awful to say, but it really wasn’t a lack of effort. I think we played pretty hard.

“Honestly, those guys hit us in the mouth. We were never really ready, to tell you the truth. We didn’t come out there with any energy. We came out flat and The Citadel came out there with more energy from the first snap.”--Troy Sanders
Anybody besides me find these statements contradictory?
We took away the punt.sixtoes9134 wrote:SS and DJ owe the players and the fans an apology.
Neither the defense nor the offense was prepared.
Defense was abused the whole day and offense didn't move the ball until Citadel started subbing in 2nd stringers.
I'm willing to give SS a pass, but I have seen far too many of these defensive breakdowns to suit me.
The worst part in my opinion, was ZERO half time adjustments, Citadel came right back out and just continued their attack.
It's been like 30 years since I played football, but the one thing I know about the T.O. is you have to pick something to try and take away and it doesn't seem like we had a clue what that needed to be.
