Unfathomable

Marty brown was missed in this moment

mallory or 4 could have gotten that yard. they didnt even bother trying

Every team, except BC, is going to score 30 on us

Without Mali, im not sure we surpass 30

Something has to change for us to get by Duke and yes VT

Hated the decision to kick a field goal there too. Make those idiots drive 99 yards. If they do. Tip your cap

Problem was lack of physicality up front & ND overwhelming our OL. Freshman LG blows assignment or Mensah scores & Dawson is being lauded for play call. ND penetrated into our backfield & stoned Fletcher earlier. Point is, ***** about play calls, but larger issue is our OL got its *** kicked around goal line & we also didn’t have the threat of Mali.

Line fletcher up at FB & Mallory at RB. Quick turnaround handoff to fletcher 4 times. You grab him by the face mask & say your getting the ball 4 ******* times, get in. We got way too cute. Cost us OT. Dumb dumb stuff by us.

Dawson got cute trying to get Mensah and rushing touchdown in his Heisman matchup with Carr. That’s what happened

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

How do you not go into the heaviest of package 3 plays in a row. Why in the world did he not do this. And how was his decision to go horizontal with Mensah.

Outside of Stanford I don’t remember us bringing in extra OL this year. They’ve gotten stuffed a bunch of times now going with TE bunch sets and goal line set ups. Why they got away from bringing in a bunch of 340lb OL and instead insist on running behind a 290 lb center and 285 lb guard is beyond me.

If we call 4 straight runs with Fletcher from that spot we score. End of discussion. Even if someone meets him at the goaline he is going to fall forward.

Problem is he was being met in backfield.

We talk up Lofton and the other TEs as blockers. Why not use one out of the I blocking for Fletcher. We showed a pass out of it vs FSU that got 6. Or get one of the reserve OL that are moderately athletic and just use them as a battering ram ahead of Fletcher.

Which part?

Wouldn’t have happened 4 straight times. From that spot 4 straight runs with Fletcher equals touchdown.

I swear the last two weeks this place has had more estrogen fueled angst than an average Lilith Fair.

Most of Pitts passing yards came against backups when the game was already out of reach.

This is Mario’s bread and butter and pride and joy. How are we so mediocre up front in year 5? The lack of push is alarming, not to mention the shoddy pass pro. It’s the single biggest reason we lost on Saturday and it might hold us back from a title.

Disgusting

 

[YankeesCane]

Playing afraid never works

After SMU Mario even said he needed to let go and loosen up a bit

But it is different this year as we do not have the same defense where we have a bit of a safety net

That said, it isnt the offense that needs to be fixed

We all know now what Duke is going to do Saturday and our defense wont look prepared for it, Thats the issue going forward

 

[Braduhley]

I think Dawson tries to break tendencies. Last year we ran Carson on a bootleg vs Florida.

And that's fine on occasion, but running your QB 2/3 times from the one foot line when you have a RB the size of a defensive end just isn't the move.

Imo, I think we lost out on Seaton to LSU, Mario and Mirabal must have thought we were better than we are on the OL. They may have also thought that Cantwell would have taken over RT which he apparently isn't ready. It was a combo.

I want to think we can win the NC this year but I need to see more improvement from the defense, as well as the OL. Our bread and butter is on the lines under Mario.

What's even worse is we couldn't even punch it in with their two DT's out. Embarrassing and unacceptable Oline play. Plus Dawson's playcalling wasn't good either.

 

[ThomasM]

100% coaching. You get your heaviest player in there to push the ball carrier into the endzone. There is no time for being cute down there. If you're going to do a QB sneak, put Cantwell behind him to push him in.

I would worry more about ACC title and less on the national title which ain't happening.
