I think if you rank the groups from best to worse for me it is

QB
Receivers
Defensive line
Running backs
Tight ends
Linebackers
Safeties
Corners

I'm leaving out the kickers

Agree with several on here that our offense is very predictable. In a league where teames have bolstered their defenses is our offense creative enough? Love or hate him, Drink took our existing offense and added wrinkles to it that in any moment it could go quick strike or grind it out ala Louisiana 98 yard drive in 2019. Just looks like now we are okay with having a chance at the end instead of putting teams away.
Hey watch it, mister. There’s no approval of Drink allowed around these parts! 13 wins isn’t impressive and he was a baddy! Being the bottom of the division is good! #TeamClark
He wasn’t one of us. That is the criterion we use these days.
Also that snake took a 500% raise.
And is currently 7-1. Guess he knows what he's doing
Really impressive year for drink. The guy can coach, but his haters will never admit it.

Anyone else miss the days pre TV Network/Streams where you could just check in on ESPN gamecast phone app every 30 mins and know we’d be up by 28 on someone? Be confident in doing other stuff while checking in on the game and enjoying the weekend!

If anyone has a DVR copy of the game, can they sent it to me? I forgot to record the game and there's no replays scheduled.

Maybe our corners won’t have 15 yard cushions in the replay.

I don't profess any great knowledge but obviously we were playing deep (rightly or wrongly) because ODU has a lot of success throwing the ball deep with lots of explosive plays. We clearly game planned for that. Give ODU credit, they took what we gave them.

What happened on that 4th and 10 is a direct result of our soft coverage

Before the play I was screaming… “Please rush more than 4, PLEASE!”

I went to the CFC game last night and listened to much of the 2nd quarter on the radio where Brandon Turner (former receiver) was doing analysis. ODU was driving and taking little wide receiver screens for 8 yards maybe 5 plays in a row. Turner pointed out several times how far back our corners were playing off and that we were just giving them the wide open looks. Finally he said “this tells me that Coach Sloan doesn’t trust his defensive backs to not get burned”. There’s someone who knows the game calling out an issue. To our credit I believe we did eventually stop ODU and held them to a field goal, but it’s not just fans who are seeing these issues.

We give teams way too much and don't adjust at all or wait until it is way too late to adjust. Shawn also seems to be too nice and not want to put teams away. It is like he just wants us to be in position to win the game late instead of putting a team away early. That mindset has always bugged me but I hoped he would change that view. We are not a 12 win caliber team but I do believe a really good coaching staff could get 9 wins with this team and I see this staff only getting 5, at best.

If fans see it the ODU OC saw it and thought he woke up on Christmas morning.

FYI, Clark was asked about the overturned targeting late in the game at Mountaineer Talk.

Clark said if someone pays the fine he would get for talking about it, he'll talk about it.

I think we were so upset with the outcome that we (as a fanbase) didn't get upset about the two missed calls down the stretch. The obvious (called targeting) that was waived off and Strohman's jersey was held on the final play in the end zone which should have been called pass interference. Both those calls should have been made and enforced.

Can’t leave the results of a game in the hands of the refs.

As upset as I am about those calls you are absolutly correct. I have never blamed a ref for losing a game in any sport.
