Ambrose going for it on 4th down and calling that play was just bad. Odds are what you should have done was punt the damn football and trust your defense when playing at home. Best running back in school history and offense could not get a carry on the last drive when the game was on the line and yards mattered most. Was West hurt or were we just resting him? Brutal. That play calling on the last drive was poor and the personnel is not what you want on the field in that scenario. Jammer got his stuff jammed up his backside.

Another missed FG with horrid special teams execution. Not even going to push this one. It's horrible.

Now the playoffs are in question for us with another loss as we are not going to be in the top 3 in the CAA if we lose 1 more. Lose two more and we could be in 5th place. CAA is not getting 4-5 teams in. MF crap.

William & Mary actually plays defense.

God damnit!

Regrading the Towson run pass ratio (50-19)

"A little bit of us being ahead. There's a mentality that when your three scores ahead, you don't play pass, you don't run it up on people. That's who we are. You saw their offense at the end of the game. If we keep running the ball and running it well, that offense doesn't show up and there's nothing at the end of the game. IN fast review hindsight, We didn't run it enough. We didn't run the clock enough."

"You don't run it up on people. That's who we are."

Boy our mindset has shifted since the Holy Cross, Delaware State and Albany games, but heck, those guys are not our arch rivals so by all means, when we play Delaware, we need to let them save face and not run up the score? JFC Ambrose. Heading into tonight's game we had outscored people 76-22 in the 4th quarter and we were 8-1, which means that we were dropping the hammer on people. Then tonight we go into the prevent offense. Great plan.

Delaware has now beaten us 10 out of the last 15 games. Hey Rob, the way to win attention is to run it up on those guys when you have the chance. They do not consider us a rival or respect us in any way. We have beaten them 5 times out of 15 games in history so we are not on their radar as a rival. You are 1-4 against them and their fans made fun of your arrogance leaving the stadium.

Running up the score on us sure as heck never stopped them, but that's who THEY, DELAWARE, IS, a program who you yourself said in your opening quote "I have tremendous respect for that program." Guess what, they do not respect you after giving up 14 points in under a minute.

Do you remember your first two games against Delaware? The two games won by Delaware by a combined score of 97-21. Don't guess they minded running up the count as they were also playing at a national championship level then. I thought that is where you had us now? Evidently not.

Come to think about it, during the UConn game we were passing inside the red zone in the last few minutes of the game, so why were were laying the hammer down against UConn, running the clock down, and keeping West in the game there, and here against Delaware we are calling off the dogs and sitting the best player in the history of the school and the presumptive Payton Award winner? I guess you had something to aim for there at UConn and wanted to make a point. Well you did NOT do a great job last night and your lack of fortitude cost us dearly in a game we should have won going away.

This type of stuff has been an on going issue. It's not anything new. Last year it was his immature handling of Terrance West and holding him out of the Old Dominion game that cost us a real chance at winning. If you think back over the last 3 years we have lost home games against Delaware and Lehigh in 2011, ODU in 2012, and now Villanova and Delaware this year. When this program seems to be going in theright direction, they bend over and lose. Then, when we are up against the wall and all seems to be lost, like the last 4 games last year, we come out like gangbusters. We were not worried about racking up 64 points at UNH last year when something was on the line or 41 the previous week against URI. Now all of a sudden against Delaware at home we are up 21 in the 4th quarter and he takes out West to put in Victor and showcase his depth, he puts in the backup OL? Did he let the field hockey coach some in and run the team too?

Does he think of himself as the great coach of all coaches who is too big does not need to run it up? Yeah he does think he is the great one. Arrogant b.....

Finding fault with how the last quarter O was coached is fair game but I did stretch it into a rant about Ambrose. Of course it is incorrect to find one component at fault for a loss as many reasons contribute to a loss. Just do not see much reason to call for the D to take the fall for this loss .
