Agree with a lot of this, but if our RB doesn't fumble the ball at the one foot line, that changes the course and complexion of the game. If we stop giving the ball away via turnovers and stupid penalties, we win this game going away.
If Mario can get out of the regular season at 9-3, everything is in front of him. And, if he can win the bowl game and go to 10-3, so much of this poison is behind us. Lot's of ifs... could happen, though.
i had UNC as a loss coming in. the issue w the GT loss is that beyond the idiot on the sidelines, we didnt play a good game from a coaching standpoint (gameplan to undisciplined football which has been a common thing w this team against p5 teams). we still came away with a win and somehow didnt win it. it just exposes a lot of hard truths that were covered up by the big ATM win and a soft early schedule. combine that with the O being unable to open up the run game and refusal to go all in on the pass and tempo.
sure and if the DC isnt a moron, we dont give them a free first down on fourht down that led to them tying the game right before half. a lot of our own faults as to why we lose but thats waht every loser says every week. if we had this done and not done that, we win. we do these things consistently going back to every coach we have hired since the glory days. its always something. for this team, its undisciplined football from the players (flags, turns) to the staff (poor time management, poor adjustments, boneheaded decisions (kneel, 12 men on the field after a timeout, guidrys emotional blow up).
Our inability to run tempo when we need to is one of my biggest concerns. Early-mid way through the 4th and we had a 12 play 71 yard drive that took 4 minutes off the clock to get within 2 scores. Draining the play clock down to 10-12 seconds every time. Still in a huddle.
i thought we learned from atm. then it came bck again. clearly we didnt learn from last year in college station.
Have to win this week. FSU and Louisville is a tall task in back to back weeks.
people dont realize giudry hasn't coached at this level.
another thing tho. Guidry did shut him down in the first half for most part. Our db's are not his fault. they been making the same mistakes since before he was here.
