I think they have what it takes to return to their past levels of success. But wow, they are just horrible right now.

And Tulane would have lost to them if ECU had an high school level offense. Wow.

Whatever you tell yourself it it makes you feel better. Tulane has done what they need to do to win. They would have scored more if they needed to. They kneeled the ball inside ECU's 5 to end the game.

*If Pratt plays vs Ole Miss then we likely don't give up a strip sack for a TD from our less mobile QB2 and Pratt is like better for at least one more TD than QB2. That's a 14 point swing and we win. We are 11-0 at this point in the top 10. Its fun to play the what if game right.

Ill trade you a your win vs Tulane for a Tulane win vs Ole Miss; that seems fair in what if world right.

As far as ECU goes. I generallly agree If Kirkpatrick is not fired by EOB 11/27 then Houston should be fired by EOB 11/28.

Kirkpatrick is gone.

Are you trying to say Tulane was trying not to score like Navy

*I can play too. If Keaton Mitchell played in New Orleans Tulane wouldn’t have gone to the cotton bowl.

Didn't see DK had agreed to leave. It happened minutes ago.,...

Anyway since Fritz got to Tulane we have beaten yall 5 of 6 times. You have given the "what ifs" for 2023 and 2022 your missing 2020, 2018, and 2017.

ECU sucked from 2016-2020. And now suck again. I think everyone beat ECU from 2017-2020. Except UCONN.

Dowdy, you are the biggest excuse maker ever. No one thinks any of them makes ECU look better, and you like a clown try to trash everyone else as well.

I also think we kept the offense rather vanilla on purpose. Think the plan was it would be a low scoring game and they just wanted to make sure the offense did not dig us a hole somehow. I guess it worked but I suspect we will need a lot more offense next week.

Anyway good game ECU - good luck next week.

In this game, ECU threw two interceptions straight to DBs in triple coverage. Fumbled in the backfield. And the punter dropped the ball ten yards behind the LOS for no reason. Yes Navy has a terrible quarterback, but ECU’s is worse. You must understand that Navy would have scored 7 points if ECU had a punter with the grip strength of an 8 year old. “Maybe there was a little of us good”

Navy threw the football double digit times. That’s not a vanilla navy offense. ECU has a damn good defense and Navy couldn’t move it against them. ECU’s problem is they have the worst division 1 offense the 21st century has seen.

But go ahead and get offended your 5-5 team can’t move the ball against poor old ECU.

This is a very odd post. I am not offended by Navy's inability to move the ball, I have been lamenting it all season if you look at my posts on even this thread. Our offensive execution has been mediocre and worse almost all season.

What I was doing, was making an observation about our play calling - which was conservative compared to most of our games this year - and speculating why it was so. You can take my word on that or not if you like, but it is the case either way.

Big picture, the coaches probably called a conservative offensive game because they trusted the defense more than the offense (the after game interviews kind of confirmed that). No doubt they would have pulled out some other plays if the defense was not shutting down ECU's offense - of course ECU's defense is good so who knows if that would work or not the way we are executing this year.

None of this was a knock on ECU, it was just an observation about our play calling vs what we have been doing in most games.
