"The game was lost when we ran three times in the red zone and kicked a field goal down 17-3. You can’t say you have the best QB in the country and then show a complete lack of faith in him".
"Maybe someone who charted the game can correct me, but I can’t remember a single contested catch in 41 passes. “NFL open” does not exist in our passing game. We have body catchers, not snatchers".
You can't be shocked when Gattis runs the ball inside the red zone and at the same time be highly critical of our WRs. So, you wanted Gattis to pass in the red zone. To who? Who was catching the ball? According to you, no one was going to catch the ball because the entire game, no one could make a contested catch.
The complaint against Gattis is that he ran TWO QB draws while in the red zone. That's the complaint.
No!!! His redzone play calling was awful!!! He had a good mix to get there and then had flashbacks of Michigan trying to run the ball in when AtM was stacking the box at the goaline.
It made no sense to run the ball 3 times and then kick a field goal. If you run on 3rd down from 5 yards out, you better be planning to go for it on 4th down.
I just can't understand the complete lack of creativity in the redzone. We have 3 really good pass catching TEs and a really good H-back. Use them!!!!
I feel like we're back in the Richt era where you need elite athletes at WR just to complete a pass. I'm sure other teams wouldn't mind having our WRs. It's up to the coaches to figure out how to get the most out of them and then scheme them open.
You think UNC has better WRs than us?
I feel like the offense is being handicapped while. Hanging to more of a ground and pound offense.
Also, I watched a YouTube post game discussion where someone brought up a valid observation. You can't hide your passing game the first 2 games and then expect it to execute flawlessly against a quality defense. You have to build confidence in games and our coaches didn't do that.
On the positive, I like the trench play on both sides of the ball and the defense could be elite.
I feel extremely confident playing at Clemson. AtM was the biggest road crowd we'll face and the team didn't flinch.
Onother great point that a YouTuber made is that heading into the AtM game we didn't know what we really had. We didn't know what are strengths and weaknesses are. We do now and there are many more strengths than weaknesses.
Every one of our goals is still obtainable. Gattis has to figure out the passing game and get TVD going.
