We need a gunslinger like Taylor and David - and we have Wolff coming to town next year.
I want to believe. But.

Posted from mobile device. Hopefully it's coherent.

Our offense gained more yardage on App than Tennessee did.
Indeed, we have, in the past, gained a lot of yardage between the 20s but had trouble scoring against good defenses.

When the field is compressed our passing game is less effective and our inside run game is easy to stuff.

Outside of the 20s our passing game is still sandlot in that many, if not most of the pass completions are on broken plays, because DW can extend with his legs like as did Heinicke.

We still need to run more, outside with motion. We need misdirection, and we need some short over the middle pass plays to TEs or H backs, going all the way back to the Maryland game.

Yesterday we abandoned the run too early, and even so went back to the inside handoff when we did run.


We knew we would need future O linemen since 2010, and should have, IMHO been more prepared for the loss of Born, Lowney, and Morrell.
To be as unprepared in the kicking game for the loss of Brown and Plisco is also very puzzling.
We certainly seem to have a recruiting issue

This "run inside on third and long", and "pass on 4th and short"; like our screens, hardly ever works, and has not for years.

We need to have a versatile enough scheme to make adjustments.

I was there yesterday. Said this over and over. Where are the short, across the middle passes?? DW needed that option badly. We threw it twice, both successful. It seems as soon as we do something well, we abandon it. No flare to Ray, no option, TE barely involved. WTH??
I did see progress, but mainly defensive progress. I'm really starting to think the OC is in over his head and is the biggest problem we have.
The only thing that has not gotten any better is the boring scheme and lack of imagination.

Did anyone watch their second string QB fake a handoff up the middle, then run around the end with the ball?? He torched us twice and those plays led to their last TD. Where in the hell is our fake hand off, sprint out??
I honestly thought the O line did OK. Their secondary covered well and DW was a little indecisive. Shorter patterns would have helped.

I was at this game. I watched a mediocre team at best bury us, embarrass us, and walk all over us. This (to me) was the worst loss in the program history. It was so bad at the end, I had to leave (first game I have ever left early in the 10 years of the team). I thought that the team quit. Sandlot coaching, poor performance all the way around. There were times that it looked like the players didn't know where to line up or what their assignments were. Absolutely disgusting. And Liberty pounced at every weak point that was exposed (e.g. a DB comes out after a poorly defended pass, and they go directly at his replacement and burn them) -- that's good coaching and execution.

I saw no improvement from where the program left off last season -- in fact, I saw a QB who looked slower, less accurate, and confused all evening (I don't care how old he is, if he can't manage the game, get someone in there who can -- enough of the age crap as an excuse - perform or don't). I saw DBs that committed the worst coverage penalties I've seen at ODU (running into receivers without even turning around for the ball -- easy call for a blind official). The opposing QB that didn't get a glove laid on him all night and appeared to only be hurried a couple of times.

What made it worse was all the off season hype about how hard they worked, 22 seniors, ready to win the 4th quarter, great kicking game, loaded at RB, DL best in the CUSA, blah, blah, blah. Hype 52, Performance 10.

So, I'll be there Saturday for FIU to support my team -- I only hope that they show up. Because from what I saw at Liberty they should have stayed on the buses. I did enjoy the Liberty campus and crowd (that crowd was amazing -- but they had plenty to cheer for and were very respectful when they could have gloated).

So -- now we will see how much character this coaching staff and players have. My team, win or lose, but damn -- let's play to our potential and not embarrass ourselves like that fiasco.

Spot on. It is all coaching. Coach recruits the players. Coach prepares the players. Coach instills a culture, that will not allow players to quit. Coach is well respected by the players, making them excited to play for that coach.


I'll say it again...I cannot believe we have so many Jones haters, with this clown running our football program.
