Every time Cuilette runs the ball it's like throwing away a down.

Shades of yesteryear. Poor Special Teams play, an offense that can't score points, the defense on the field too long and some
questionable play calling. Are the ghosts of CJ & EP haunting us tonight?

Wow. Louisville just got saved at about half field with 2 minutes left with a roughing the kicker on Duke

A couple of those run options should have been pitched by GC.

I've never been happier to see an opposing team kick it out of the back of the endzone haha

The offensive line is playing their best game of the season.

It's really frustrating that GC can throw darts and then crap that bounces on the ground before getting to the receiver.

I can almost guarantee you those are option runs and GC just made the wrong read by keeping it.

Much better use of the play clock there. 6 min possession. Slow, grinding drives gives us a much better chance to win.

Agree. One or two of them outside he had 2 Greenies v 1 Memphis corner, missed a couple potentially big plays

At this point the blame goes on Fritz for the numerous QB draws. Poor play calls and terrible execution. The QBs don't sell the pass before taking off.

Huge Int by Allen. Memphis offense was gaining momentum.

Why would the blame be on Fritz when the play he called could have had huge gains if GC made the right read? We all know GC struggles pitching the ball on options. It's not a surprise, but I do see vast improvement by the fact that he actually pitches the ball now.

Again, a lot of them are option plays where Glen's making the wrong read. However, I do think that 3rd and 5 play was a called QB draw.

That pick shows why long possession drives for the O are so important. Memphis O is off, don't let them get any sort of a rhythm and lets our fired up D stay fresh. Now let's put some points on the board! #ROLLDAMNWAVE

That definitely was a qb draw since we gashed them up the middle that whole drive and moved into their side of the field.

Three and out. Offense being too conservative.

I feel like previous Green Wave teams wouldn't have taken advantage of the penalty like that. Defense keeps coming up huge!
