Out of all of Mario’s flaws in his gameday “approach” this is the most agregious. His “strategy” of running the ball into 8 man boxes and praying that your qb doesn’t turn it over when he throws it - then thinking your kicker is going to be 100% is so beyond flawed it’s insane. How can this ever be a rational approach to football? But here we are. Oregon fans warned us. Some on this board warned us.
This team has 3 losses and two of them fall completely at the feet of Mario, not TVD. Pure insanity.
I do not agree with Mario’s approach, but geez man..
We threw the ball 38 times.
Simple, basic QB execution gets us the win here.
Throw the ball to the corner pylon with a little air where only Jacolby can get it.
Step up into the pocket when you’re standing there for 3.5 seconds because someone… eventually… will be coming around the edge.
Again, on the 3rd and 5 completion to Fletcher at the end…step up in the pocket, don’t panic, to buy yourself another second so you could see X wide open
for the TD.
Two times last night I had to get up in front of my TV on the replay to see exactly how TVD was “sacked”.
I’m not piling on this guy. I’m not making it personal.
Ok, he doesn’t see a guy break open. It happens.
The first 2 examples I gave are, again, simple QB execution.
The trips or whatever…We’ll, I’m of the opinion that you need an athletic QB in the college game. That’s not on him. It’s on who’s starting him.
I don’t like what I see. If we had won, I’d be ****ed at what I’ve been seeing still.
But all I‘ll say is that I disagree with the opinion that TVD‘s play did not contribute, at least in part, to the loss.
