Tulane vs UCF Game Thread

[Jonathan]

Thanks Doctor but do not tell me what to do. Be a gentleman. I will do what ever the hell that I want to do. Get a life!

[JerseyWave]

Five running plays in a row with the clock winding down. Game management CJ!!!!!!

[JerseyWave]

Do we know how to run a two minute drill?

[JerseyWave]

So poorly coached. Terrible coaching on that entire possession!!!!!

[Dupergreenie]

Seems like a good time to break out the hard stuff.

[JerseyWave]

Only Tulane would spike the ball on fourth down. Embarrassing!!!!

[sader24]

Let 4 seconds run off clock before calling timeout, then spike it on 4th down. Hilarious yet depressing.

[jonathanjoseph]

We can't score with Montana at QB. Everyone who was begging for him is crazy. There was a reason Lee was starting.

Obviously, this.

[Jonathan]

Come on we all expected to lose this game by over 20 points. Zero team leadership or will to win by CJ and staff and all players.

[Profoundwizard]

The 4 seconds running off the clock is on the clock operator, not us. The 4th down spike on the other hand...
We just had no sense of urgency on that drive until it was too late.

[wavemania]

This was a Sr who spiked it. Powell needs to be given a shot.

[sader24]

Official spotted ball, we move like a sloth on offense

[jonathanjoseph]

Montana is not getting us into the end zone for scores. Can we give Tanner or Devon a chance to succeed. Fire the Prices now!

Montana isn't the problem.

He is part of the problem.

Tanner actually moved the offense, the only problem was the INTs

Tanner just happens to be supremely talented. Montana looks to me like a mediocre D1A QB and Powell looks like a low end D1A QB, but in all cases the production does not match what should be expected.

The problems are consistent through 3 QBs. The offense is abysmal, even thought the OL is now quite decent, we have talent at RB and some talent at WR.

Bottom line is that Price(s) must go, no questions asked. We'll see if CJ has the stones to do the obvious, but it took him way longer than necessary to figure out that Montana > Powell and James > Hilliard at KOR.

And the clock management there? Ugh.

[JerseyWave]

We are a good team that is poorly coached. Same problem throughout the CJ era......the offense can't find the endzone!

[Profoundwizard]

You're wrong. Just went back and watched it and the clock was running before he spotted it.

[sader24]

The defensive coaching IMO is good enough. Offensive coaching is atrocious. Offense has no pace or rhythm. It looks like 10-11 yr old football. I had a more expansive playbook and a better command of offense as a 10 yr old than any of our QBs has. That's coaching.

[MicMan]

Egads, a spike on 4th down can haunt a program, a lasting icon of futility, like the Jets' butt fumble. In a close game, though, TU due for some lucky bounces this season.

Ok, it shouldn't have mattered anyway bc we should've called a timeout immediately.

[OUG]

That's embarassing. CJ needs to admit to himself he has no idea how to manage clock. That's the first step in him getting better at it. Just disgraceful possession.

We are wasting a good defensive effort.

[JerseyWave]

We get the ball to start the second half. First drive will say alot. Do we go three and out?

[Dave breslin]

2 minute drill!!!!????? Why pass in the middle when you need to get out of bounds ? Why run-up-the-middle- to use up the clock? What a PUTZ. Has price ever been successful as an OC? He's as successful as RD is personable.

[wavemania]

No worries. It's not about Ws and Ls

[MicMan]

You can talk about timeout theory and other fine points, but I never understand how some coaches can't manage the clock. And this includes NFL coaches, Herm Edwards was the worst. It makes the players feel like you're not giving them a chance to succeed.

[jonathanjoseph]

Correct.

The interesting thing is we are actually a good team.

[JerseyWave]

No doubt we've closed the gap in the talent department. A couple of years ago UCF was blowing us off the field. Now, it's the coaching that is holding us back.
