dont know if this has been said already, but early on with a new center the snap was very slow. The TV announcers said the same thing. This allowed the D line to get ahead of the play all day.. IMHO

I think we could be a lot better on offense realizing our weaknesses and game planning to our strengths. Pass first and run later. Need some imagination on offense. This stagnation has hurt our confidence and moral. It starts with moving the chains and we can do that..our defense is ok minus a few chunk plays but can't survive without the offense moving the ball.

Dude we gave up 808 yards today. The D is NOT ok. It’s more than the chunk plays. It’s bad angles, lack of foot speed and agility, and poor tackling.

But I do agree in general about the O. We are trying to be who we want to be, not who we are.

Coach said he didn't have any answers. I believe him.

Tough stuff for Furman right now with the injuries and youth. Hard to sit through it, but these young guys will get a lot better. I remember several season where it seemed like half the guys Western had on the field were FR or RS FR. Hendrix is a helluva coach and he’ll get to work on your running game - it is just going to take time.

No doubt Bell wanted to get to 50. His message from last week was this team needed to get more of a step on your opponent’s throat mentality. I think this was just bad timing for Furman and your injuries to be playing Western.
Bell is a prick.No sugar coating that.

Great thing to admit to a bunch of 18/19 year olds looking for guidance…

Yep. That’s pretty bad to say. As head Coach you are the leader. At least say “we promise to go back to the drawing board and seek some answers !”

Is Clay gonna pull a Jay Wright, Tony Bennett, Nick Saban? Kidding aside it’s gotta be frustrating dealing with the new rules of the road at a place like FU.

WCU with 808 yards of total offense.

Yes I know we are young. Yes I know we have injury issues.

But we are horrible. Everyone associated with this program should be tremendously embarrassed by the last couple of weeks.

And the worst part is there is no reason for optimism of any sort.

Glad I skipped making the drive out to Paladin Stadium today.
Wish I had stayed home with you.

No they won’t. There are some things that experience can’t fix. It’s going to be a long road back to any semblance of respectability. The cupboard is bare.
That’s the worst part. Nothing to be encouraged about.
