Some thoughts on the Louisville loss

I hate the tom Brady Patriots but they had a versatile offense which is why they dominated a lot without having a dominate wr until Randy came. Admittedly they had gronk and Hernandez. But they utilized them well. They put RBS in the slot for mismatches. Same with the saints with Drew Brees he had some weapons here and there but no Randy moss and they were versatile

I wish we used our RBs as part of the receiving game.... It's so infrequent and usually works.

Fletcher and Brown are very good at that...

Losing to Louisville sucks but let’s be real who had us going undefeated this yr b4 the szn started? Majority of this board was predicting 8-4 or 9-3… now that the season is playing out we think being 5-1 and still hopeful is “Loser Mentality” lol **** crazy

It’s loser mentality to be happy to be 5-1 after 6 games when two of the head coaches are about to be fired lol. Instead of holding Mario accountable the media covering for him as always “hey we are much better than you all thought we’d be” is loser mentality
 
Lets not make the same mistake Penn State did. After losing a tough game at home to Oregon their next game was a trip to the west coast against a terrible team in what was supposed to their "get back" game and we know how that turned out. Hopefully the team isnt taking this one for granted.
 
Look, we all knew deep down we'd have a game like this. There is really nothing else to say other than we have to lock in. Lose another game in the regular season and you're out of the playoffs

4 interceptions thrown will lose you the game every single week.

We best ourselves with penalties and turnovers.

Down by a field goal and inside the 30…we try to get another 6 or 7 yards and my man gets an incredible fingertips grab of an interception after the ball is tipped at the line of scrimmage…..

Louisville deserved to win and we deserved to lose.

Final thought - I didn’t know how to feel about Mario/Dawson throwing the ball down 3 under 2 minutes already jn FG range on 1st and 10. Part of me felt glad we weren’t conservative but other part of me feels that this is the time to be conservative and get to OT (where the field shrinks and our DEF has the advantage).

I glad we were going for the win; my complaint is we spend almost 4 minutes getting to the 30. No sense of urgency, we almost killed the clock, on our last drive. We slough around for 4 minutes, then we are rushing like around maniacs. On that last interception, with 2-time outs, I wish they would have pop a run.

Not to stir up the JoJo stuff but if he's making plays in practice, as is Lyle, then why does Lyle get more game reps than JoJo and why then is Marion basically playing all game

We'll only know if he can translate from practice to games if he's given a fair chance

need to pick up the pace on offense, it's like we sleepwalk through half of our possessions. What's scary, is less talented team, slow the pace to limit our possessions, then we come out, and oblige them, by slowing things down even more, I think we ran only 59 plays in the FSU game. Our lethargic pace is probably one of the reasons for so many procedure penalties.

Everybody schemes to beat our defense and it seems we just wash, rince, repeat and hope. Well it finally bit us in the ***. No excuse not to exploit other defense weakness with our experienced QB, Oline and playmakers.

Louisville probably saw our **** poor 4th quarter against FSU, and saw us being spread out, and how **** poor our tackling was, and said let's rock. Also, every time FSU tried going deep, it let to Turnovers, and sacks. As a DC, I assume that's how folks will be attacking us, quick passes, with our corners bailing.

last year golesh exposed our defense and we were in shoot outs all year.

this year, a combo of norvell and brohm exposed our defense, but we dont have the offense to be in shoot outs.

His impact is similar. And there was no qualifier about who was what. Man was making plays last year man is making plays this year, same scenario. You acting like Mali been feasting on cupcakes. Plus you saying Ohio St was more talented is even more impressive for Malachi. He balling on a less talented team in your opinion
Click to expand...
I would say mali is probably the most talented receiver we have had since 17 with ahmmon Richards.

Lofton might have gotten too big dude look like he bout 250 right now

Could be, but, except for the last play, the guy was open all night. It's like Louisville forgot about him. After that second drive, when Beck blew the top of defense, cards said, stop the run, and cover deep.

Stanford is Wake '24. 20+ point *** whooping but it doesn't matter when it comes to SMU/Pitt and whoever else figures out how to sneak a close one in (NCSU)
 
I wholeheartedly think a majority of coaches don't want to get better as coaches. I think once they get to a certain point they get complacent. Look at Mario he really has no incentive to get better he isn't getting fired from Miami. If the standard is 10 wins or 9 wins I think it is viewed as positive in his eyes. This is just my opinion.

The penalties are a consistent pattern that highlights that while we are talented we are not a locked in team. Lots of concerns coming from this game with most of them being easily fixable but this one particular issue seems to be a constant fix with our team and it’s no bueno.

The frustrating part of the penalties, yeah, the procedures are bad, but these team we play come in heavily penalize, then seem to play us, and play penalty free. Then the next game, they are right back to being heavily penalized. It's not just the penalties called on us that hurt, it's the ones not called on the other teams, that are backbreakers. First drive the Right tackle jumped every time, first interception Malachi got taken down by the defender, couldn't make a play on the ball, and the fair call on the punt? If you have a Jimmy Johnson coach team, you might survive this, but not with this group we have,

I'd rather use 4 WR than 1 Te at this point. The TEs have been mostly useless. Beaman gets 1 or 2 wide *** open catches per game that anyone could get. He should not in any scenario be outsnapping Lofton imo. At least Lofton has consistently done well after the catch. Schott and Gilbert need more snaps though. We need more 4WR sets. Last game Moore played like 7 snaps and Jojo played 1 snaps.... in a game we were trailing by like 14 the entire time... Makes no sense.

It's absolutely baffling to me why Josh Moore isn't getting on the field more.

Since you don't understand football, let me break it down for you. Brohm knew he couldn't beat OJ one-on-one on the outside because it wasn't working. That's why he ran those drag routes - they're tough to stop because you're running underneath the coverage. However, they're also high-risk because a linebacker can knock you off or pick off the ball. Watch the film, and you'll see what I mean. When Brohm tried to go outside against OJ, it didn't work because Chris Bell can't beat OJ on the boundary - OJ's too technical.

Agree, poor OJ was asking for help, all night, if he went underneath, he ran into our LB's, if he went around our LB's he couldn't crowd Bell. Brohm, didn't draw up anything exotic, he ran crossing patterns, quick outs, and hit us on runs, when we were in our exotic looks, like he always has. , Same game plan as the last couple of times we played them.

There are always missed calls against us but not because they have it out against Miami but because refs in CFB are awful. We have a bias where we lock in only on our team. We have had plenty of calls go our way and the prime example of this was the roughing the passer call against Beck which kept us in the game and O’Connor should have gotten multiple unsportsmanlike conducts through out the game.

Ultimately we need to take care of what we can control and we just haven’t done that. All the while we sit there and preach discipline and being locked in but every week we are the opposite of that.
