Sad to say it, but we got beat by a much better football team. Their O line blocking was exceptional against us. Overall, we could not compete with their team speed. We look like we're in slow motion on D against their O.
Coaching did not help today. Probably worst play calling I've seen this year. Our D also seemed unprepared for their Option O - that's on our D coordinator. We had the same problem with Citadel.
Wofford GAMEDAY!
Cit up 23 to 12. Not good for the Dins.
Gotta pull for Wofford to win outright title next week and hope we get in as second SoCon team. Citadel would have 3 conference losses and we would have 2. I think we would be in. Doubt 3 Socon teams get in though. Just not a very good conference, which we’ve known since GSU and App left.
I bet we could beat several teams that will be in field. The SoCon is bad, but so are a lot of other FCS leagues.apaladin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 4:19 pmAre there any teams that we might could beat in the playoffs?

It's a disappointing effort. Our coaching staff has done a lot of good things during their tenure, so let's not overreact.
At the end of the day, they can't throw the ball or catch it.
At times this season we look like a team that has a bunch of freshmen in key positions. Turns out that's what we are.
Not that it matters, the refs missed that one. Should have been a td. His knee never touched the ground.

At the end of the day our best win was against a UTC team that will be 5-6 today
We must have had one main play call today. Run the ball up the middle.
Correct, coaches can't play, but veteran LB's should know how to play the option. Too many times where they took the wrong player. And when you're on the 3 yd line and can't get it in on 4 downs, that's on bad playcalling, not the players. You have to put your players in a position to win - there was little of that today. Find your opponent weaknesses and execute.The Jackal wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 4:24 pmThey were better today.Paladin91 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 4:17 pmSad to say it, but we got beat by a much better football team.

We can beat a passing team. Pretty obvious option teams with a strong run defense have our number this year.apaladin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 4:19 pmAre there any teams that we might could beat in the playoffs?

Teams are running the same play book against us. They loading the box, blitzing late against the play action, and forcing our freshman QBs to make throws. Some teams have the athletes to pull that off, some don't. We crush the teams that don't.
I think it’s time to start looking for a defensive staff that can defend the option! Very obvious that DV is not that person.
Which goes back to we have a KR in Bell make a nice return late in the game, but we don't see his speed utilized at the WR position all day. That's the type of speed/quickness that can create separation from DB's and help out your young QBs.The Jackal wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 4:33 pmI get it.Paladin91 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 4:29 pmCorrect, coaches can't play, but veteran LB's should know how to play the option.
