I didn't know you could call two timeouts without running a play.
27-3 at the half. Our best half on the road under Fritz.

...did we start the wrong QB in week 1? Man, this is going to be one of those "what if" 5-7 seasons where we are so close yet again.

I thought this game was winnable, I didn’t expect us to dominate. As Tulane fans, we all know there is still a second half—but USF is in shock.

He and Bradwell form a pretty damned good 1-2 punch. And McMillan keeps the D honest by stealing yards when they're focused on those two. If he could reel in that arm of his and make the D pay, we'd be very tough offensively, despite the O-line. We'd be very lucky to have a QB that could be 14-20 for 175 and 1.5 TD's most weeks. I really thought Banks gave us that. But the team is clearly playing well with McMillan at the helm, despite his poor throws.
And no, we COULD NOT POSSIBLY start McMillan week one, 4 days after he got to Tulane, 2 practices into his Tulane career.

...a spooky game vs. a down Navy. Tulane absolutely can win that game, but I fear the worst.
I honestly think the biggest takeaway from this late season improvement is that the Fritz offense CAN win games if we actually get the right QB and a few extra OL pieces.

The USF linebackers have gone AWOL. If our RBs can get past the line of scrimmage, it’s open field.

You’re on it, Ruski. Amare Jones set us up several times, once when we did not convert. Wright has hot 2 average punts, but he’s good. Zach Block kicks off just fine and our coverage has been great. Glover’s first kick was blocked. He’s given us 9 points (2FG, 3PAT’s)

I actually like how the defense has actually contested intermediate routes. The USF QB wants to run, and his early passing struggles are causing him to run when he shouldn't.

Biggest stat of the first half: USF is 0-6 on 3rd downs.
And we have 207 yards rushing in the first half, 110 by Dauphine.. I'd just keep pounding it in the second half.

Just remember, we have a full half to play, and USF can score quickly.

The staff finally realized Jones is a damn good returner. I said that when we signed him that he could be our answer to our return woes.

Plays like McMillan missing Encalade to start the day makes me feel bad for WF and staff. Then I remember we went into this all important season with Banks and no-one else at QB.....oliveandblue wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 4:04 pm ...did we start the wrong QB in week 1?

Any decent option QB/coaching staff gets wins vs Wake and UAB.
Nope. In fact Banks gave us a chance that night with his scrambles that led to long TD passes. Plus as D noted he'd been here less than a week. The most important change has been feeding Dauphine and giving the bulk of the carries to Dauphine and Bradwell. We also changed both tackles last week. Then they finally started using Jones in the return game who's been providing us good field position., Plus at that point the staff was playing not to lose instead of being aggressive like now. A lot to it.oliveandblue wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 4:04 pm ...did we start the wrong QB in week 1? Man, this is going to be one of those "what if" 5-7 seasons where we are so close yet again.
