Sad, thank God we are only down by 7 pts. since FIU has 174 more first half yards than we do, 264 to 90. And, Butch Davis seems to have our offense figured out from A to Z.

Let's see how good WF is for second half adjustments, otherwise we are going to lose this game.

9 yards passing in the first half. Which is why Fritz will never have success at the P5 level with that kind of offense.

Who thought FIU would have more rushing yards in the first half? Very surprising so far.

What is going on with the offense? Is it awful play calling, or is it Banks--he just looks bad.

FIU HC Butch Davis keying on Banks. You stop him you stop our offense. WF needs to make an adjustment at half.
Be proactive, being reactive is for losers..

They aren't slowing Hilliard. He should finish with 30 carries this game.

I’m putting this on the coaches. They didnt have the team ready to play. Bad game plan, being outcoached. Butch Davis is schooling Willie Fritz tonight.

Fritz just realized that he doesn't need to burn downs on aggressive pass plays. FIU looks frail inside at this point.

More like it, Wave wakes up for second half first possession and systematically marches right down the field for a TD!

Now FIU 13, Wave 10

No reason to think that we can't run all night on these guys.

The worst thing about this is that even if Tulane wins the game, other teams will have a blueprint for how to stop Tulane.

One of those series that confuses the hell out of me, we run the ball down their throats with our backs the series before, next series none of our backs touch the ball

The worst thing about this is getting whipped by a very bad team.

Coaches job is to find balance, mix it up and make adjustments. One of the reasons Toledo failed. He got very lazy with his game plan.

Stop throwing deep. Your QB is 3/7 for 9 yards and an INT. It's NOT WORKING. Just pound the rock and win by a few.

This team either needs to commit to the option rushing attack, OR find an accurate QB to take over.

At the end of the 3rd quarter we have 9 yards passing. In fairness to WF, Banks has stunk up the place for his passing tonight.
