Liberty is said to have a pretty decent front. OL did fine against them. I was surprised how well they performed. Beefing up would be good but pretty happy with depth to build on.
All I can say is that it was just a beautiful game to watch at +4.5
Understand your point but the walk-on did pretty well. The game is 4 quarters against a defense that our coach said was one of the best we faced. Wearing down is part of the scheme. Lib had a weaker OL. Our defense made an all American QB look not so good. But I hear you. I was just overall satisfied without one of our main cogs.
Yes, but I believe this offense is designed on wearing down the opponent. It's not three yards and a cloud of dust a la Les Miles but it's not a classic run and gun a la Leach at Texas Tech. It's not flashy, just methodical and built to wear down the opposition. sort of like our Coach.
I think similarly.
It's a LUL offence.
Way to many passes early when you know the run would work but he sticks to the game plan through multiple 3-n-outs until he feels the opponent has made a commitment then he changes over and rolls over the opponent.
It doesn't wear them down, it makes them commit to the wrong thing.
But I thought that was the whole point. wear them down with the run game, drain them. Then keep pounding in the 2nd half, and then butter 'em up. because they're toast.
Look at how often the underdog hangs with the heavy favorite until late in the game. Someone who knows more about football than I do once told me, "At most schools, the 1st string can play against the 1st string just about anywhere. What separates the top teams, is that they can run their 2nd & 3rd stringers into the game without a big drop-off, and just exhaust their opponents."
We kept a potential Sunday QB on his heels for much of the game. when he wasn't on his butt. And we grabbed six — count 'em six — turnovers: remember that most interceptions happen because the QB is running out of time.
But some of you are still complaining??
Wow.
I don’t buy the everyone is about the same with first stringers. Maybe true for the average, but the elite usually dominate early and often on both sides of the ball. UL has been rolled early and often by perceived better programs.
I agree with that to some extent. Some people assume when something negative occurs it will continue. That is not the case of course and one of the things I love about our team is how they don't panic when things go bad. They just keep playing like they were trained. Still, I personally am not thinking about participating in game threads when action is on the field as I am too focused. I am usually watching a game thinking like a coach as to what needs to be tweaked in reaction to what is going on in the moment. I know I am not near qualified in any way to be a coach and my opinions are useless in that regard. It's just the way I am wired to think.
