1. vs FAU after the 2nd turnover, UTSA were 3rd and 1 inside FAU's redzone. They come out with the wildcat instead of just running the ball! UTSA has to kick a FG

2. Bubble screens should be a half step and throw to the outside, UTSA allows the QB to take a 3 step drop, look at WR and throw. They have all been blown up behind the line including 1 int.

3. Vs New Mexico, UTSA decides to kick a FG on 4th and 1 inside the opponents 5 yard line, later they go for it on 4th and 3 instead of kicking the FG?

4. UTSA is notorious for taking out our "hot hand" A player makes a couple of great plays and he is ripped for a sub and you won't see that player back until the next quarter. The mass subs need to stop.

5. UTSA defense is guaranteed to go to a prevent defense if they are leading. They just allow teams to dink and dunk on them until the score. Trust the defense!!!

6. Vs FAU, Jaquez threw a 3rd and long pass that was ruled a catch although the replay clearly showed it touch the ground. UTSA staff needs to call the timeout to give the officials a chance to review. BTW...that would have been a 3 and out but FAU ended up scoring a TD on that drive.

7. If UTSA has a 3rd and 5 situation or longer, they will call a play that only gets 4

8. The offensive line hasn't been coached on how to pick up a simple blitz. If a team does any exotic blitzing, forget it.

9. Our punt returner is calling fair catch inside the 5 yard line instead of just allowing the ball to bounce into the endzone

10. Every snap from the center is low. It's still not corrected.

Is it possible that #1, #2, and #7 are the QB making the play choice?

Probably not #1 since having Kam behind the center is not an audible. The bubble screen issue can be solved by getting coached up

I think Saturday is a MUST win without a doubt. Another loss and it all falls apart completely. Somehow, I get the feeling that they will come up with something that works and get on a roll again.

I did not read the thread, however, last season wasn't a fluke. Losing a QB is a big deal. Has a much bigger impact than ajy other position on the team. UTSA has a bad qb in carter, and it makes their offense stagnant and puts too much pressure on the D, physically and mentally.

If they get better qb play, they are the class of the west IMO.

Not a fluke. The state of college football is simply unpredictable from year to year and from week to week.

Its really ridiculous to think that this multi-billion dollar "entertainment" enterprise (NCAA football) is run on the backs of a bunch of 18-22 year old kids. And most kids are unpredictable as hell. They might break up with their girlfriend on Tuesday, flunk a Math test on Wed and drink too much on Thursday night. Then they show up to play a game on Saturday, and we wonder why the product we see on the field is inconsistent.

If latech is as good as they were against us marshall will s**t their pants.

No disrespect to LaTech, but how could they not have looked great against the miners? If we play LaTech there will be a little s***ting of pants going both directions.

I'd rather play UTEP though so we could complete your mental breakdown for you and get it over with. BTW, you brought up Marshall. Not us.

Don't become that fan base.

Yes, he brought up Marshall. As the perceived King of the Hill, the top team in the conference is going to be brought up. He didn't say Marshall was shitting in their pants. He didn't even say La Tech would be as good against you as they were against us. Nothing negative was said about Marshall. The fact that you are the measuring stick is a compliment.

Before the season, the West favorites were UNT, Rice and UTSA, and all three were replacing QBs. In august, everybody thought their replacement QB was great. So far I think Rice has the best replacement.

^BS injury excuse imo. UTSA is simply trying to protect a guy that has been a good soldier for the program, he's done everything right and waited patiently. The reality is that he just isn't very good though, unfortunately.

UTSA's season was not a fluke. It's called a slump. They've got flashes of a great team. They definitely are putting a great product on the field, with a limited experience in FBS.
