Its going to be a score fest BECAUSE SMU can't stop us. You can't control the clock when they let you score on one or two plays every time.

Hilliard and the O-line make SMU look stupid
Couldn't be more wrong. Welcome to 2017. Look at the scoreboard. We can't go all run and control the clock. Recipe for disaster.Wave QB wrote:Absolutely wrong!

Come on Mr sample... we had that drive stopped..
Who said "all run" on this thread? Nobody. You can control the ball on the ground and through the air since you don't know this. You aren't paying attention to the time we ate up on the drive to make it 21 and 28 to take the lead if you don't think it is being done.winwave wrote:Couldn't be more wrong. Welcome to 2017.

Never said all run. Run first, pass second is the type of football that we need to play to win.winwave wrote:Missing the point.

Unbelievably stupid not to take that holding penalty in 4 down territory. Sorry, but this is not a well coached team.

At this stage we need to pass first to get them to back off and then run.Wave QB wrote:Never said all run.

It was the right call. The problem is we have lineman that jump EVERY SINGLE HARD COUNT.greenphantom wrote:Unbelievably stupid not to take that hiding penalty in 4 down territory. Sorry, but this is not a well coached team.

Has anyone noticed that every time we've jumped offsides and the play runs, the SMU O-line doesn't move at all? I wonder if SMU has that as a designed play in those situations. C sees a player jump, he just snaps it. The OL doesn't realize its been snapped, but they've been trained to just stand there, and the receivers are told to run flys. Defense sees the O line just standing and they hesitate, and they receiver ends up wide open.

Take the 10 yards and they are out of FG range. Then try and stop them on 3 and 15. Our defense is not setup to stop SMU on a 5 yard play.
Being a run first minded team doesn't mean you can't change it up every now and then. SMU's defense sucks, so we can pass and run on them. However, we have to eat up the clock and keep their offense off the field. Our defense isn't deep or solid enough to stay on the field.

We still least agree that we can pass and run and mix it up.

38 points on the road is great from the offense. Defense needs 1-2 stops to win. They won't stop them on every drive, but a couple are needed here.

To be fair, the replay showed he stumbled when he broke to the sideline at the end of the play. Otherwise he catches it.Wave QB wrote:Damn Enclarde! You must make that catch. What a great pass and scramble by Banks.

Hicks hurt his off-arm. BIG third down here, the defense needs to get off the field.

Unfortunately I jinxed him. After Mooney dropped a catchable ball, I thought in my head “Encalade would have caught that. Need to go to him on the 3rd down”Wave QB wrote:Damn Enclarde! You must make that catch. What a great pass and scramble by Banks.
