SMFH I don't even know what to say...
This offense is just pedestrian, it's completely boom or bust. I said it after LSU but I wanted to give Richt one more chance after that game, but no more. WE NEED AN OC!!! We simply do not play to the level of our talent on Offense.
In today's era of college football, you can literally manufacture offensive productivity with scheme & pace, we do neither. We don't utilize our weapons & put them in the best position possible to exploit the weaknesses of opposing Defenses. We neutralize our own speed advantage on the outside by running nothing but 4 vert routes all day. Our route combinations are extremely simplistic, not enough quick slants, no sluggos, rarely ever shallow cross, quick outs, back shoulders & the fact we hardly ever give JT reverses is criminal.
This loss falls squarely on Richt for not having an Offensive game plan to deal with UVA. I give the players all the credit for fighting hard all game, they came close to bailing Richt out at the end. Perry made 2 very bad throws for INT's, Idk if pulling him that early was the right call or not, but he was not put in position to make easy throws to get him settled & in rhythm.
The fact is there were multiple passes of Malik's that should've been picked, there was at least 3 dropped INT's, it took us until late in the 4th quarter to get Brevin & Homer more integrated in the offense & we couldn't get our best offensive weapon the ball, JT only had 1 **** catch & every other throw to him was **** near a pick.
ONSIDE KICK BY RICHT HAS TO BE THE WORST ****** CALL HE'S MADE IN HIS TENURE HERE!!! WTF WAS THAT?!?!? DIDN'T HE LEARN HIS LESSON WHEN HE TRIED THAT SH*T LAST YEAR VS GTECH?!?!?
Our Defense had been dominant all game, we cut the lead down to 3 points with 3:10 left in the 4th with 3 timeouts, plus we had a 15yd penalty on the kickoff which would've guaranteed they start the drive deep in their own territory on the 25yd line & Richt makes the stupidest fckin call since Halfback pass in the Snow during a Blizzard in Texas in the Sun Bowl.
Put all the pressure on the Defense having to defend a short field & completely putting them at a disadvantage. AND THE DEFENSE STILL MADE THE STOP. It was really stupid of Tito to get that penalty but I don't blame that whole scenario on him, he shouldn't have even been put in that situation if Richt doesn't make that stupid ****** call. Smfh Good lord Richt WTF man???? You literally just kicked our fckin season away with that nonsense!!!
I've never once called Richt a Corch since he's been here, but that was pure CORCHING 101!
I give props to Homer for playing well, he was tough & had some really nice runs, it's a **** shame he plays for an OC that has no fckin clue how to use him when we need him the most.
Absolutely ****** pathetic by Richt.
Defense:
- Michael Pinckney 12tcks 2.5TFL's 1.5sacks
- Jaquan Johnson 12tcks Bandy 2INT's
- Shaquille Quarterman 8tcks 2.5TFL's 1sack
- Gerald Willis 8tcks 0.5TFL's
- Joe Jackson 7tcks 1.5TFL
- Zach McCloud 4tcks
- Jonathan Garvin 3tcks 1.5TFL's 1.5sacks
- Trajan Bandy 3tcks 2INT's
- Sheldrick Redwine 3tcks 1INT .05TFL's
Defense held UVA to just 92yds passing while forcing 3INT's, 9TFL's & 4 sacks, holding them to just 3/11 on 3rd down.
Defense was beyond stout, arguably their best performance along with UNC, Diaz deserves all the credit for keeping this game close. They were completely exhausted & worn down in the 3rd quarter & beginning of the 4th. 16 play drive & STILL kept them out of the End Zone. I spoke on it earlier, but that really stupid undisciplined penalty by Tito did not cost us this game, RICHT DID!
Bandy, Redwine & Pinckney, were all great this game, they absolutely played their hearts out & had this game ripped away from them, this sh*t is just plane sad man.
The players deserved to win this game, they did everything they were supposed to do, ALL THE GOT **** OFFENSE HAD TO DO WAS SCORE POINTS OFF THOSE TURNOVERS & WE WIN THIS GAME GOING AWAY.
I don't know if we're mathematically out of it for the Coastal, but I have zero faith even if we are still in it that we can pull it off & won't drop another game or 2 this season. This sh*t is a disgrace in all honesty & the worst part is there's really nothing that can be done about it because we prematurely gave Richt an extension smh.
I don't even know what else to expect the rest of the way, @ BC, Duke, @ GTech & @ Va Tech, none of these games are gimmes by any standard & now we don't know WTF we're doing with the QB situation. Unfckinbelievable smh smh.
