The fact of the matter is if you run and get stopped, you are too conservative. Run and are successful, no one says anything. Pass and are successfu, you are called a genius. Pass and are unsuccessful, you are called an idiot.

In college football, the time clock is an eternity. You can drive the length of the field without timeouts if you are completing passes for first downs. ECU didnt use a timeout at all and drove the field in 1:30 mins to kick FG.

The only way to ice the game is thru first downs. However, you can get first downs, you do it. They handed us a free 6 yard, which they would hbe called TO and set up a 3rd and short. We threw the ball in the dirt.

There are many things that we didnt execute, got screwed, or didnt go our way.

Duhart PI
Duhart penalty
Not getting first downs last 2 drives
Inexplicable cox oob/TO
Non interception call
Not getting a 4th and 10 stop
Missed facemask call on BL sack on next to last drive.

Its possible that is simply 1 of these went our way, we win. Bottom line is we did not play well enough so that none of that mattered. The biggest issue with this team is we simply cannot run the ball. We havent except for a broef period vs Charlotte and the last drive vs VT.
