Vizza sacked. Screen for no gain. 3rd and forever.

defense holds, blocks FG.

sack for Gilmore. 2nd and 18 for ASU. short pass for 2 yards. 3rd and 16. Cliff Higgs bats down the pass on 3rd down. Roman muffs the punt, under review.

Micah Mosley makes it 14-0.

I know they had the #1 rushing offense (and still do), but I think their offensive scoring was also pretty high. I seem to recall them being very good everywhere but passing yards, though their passing EFFICIENCY was really high as well. I could be wrong on some of that as I've slept since then. Barring any illumination regarding this, the Navy game went pretty much exactly as expected: Navy = GOOD offense/ BAD defense UNT = BAD offense/ BAD defense Two of the worst Ds in the nation squared off, but Navy with the better O = shootout with Navy on top and a ridiculous number of points scored.

No. We actually weren't.

1) The NCAA statistics. For the entire season, we ranked from 103-109 in scoring until Navy. I believe we were at 103 before the Navy game. We did rack up a lot of passing yards, thanks to a ridiculous number of possessions, a passing offense (just like Flanigan's offenses were usually ranked high in rushing, because we ran the ball all the time), and a D that didn't allow any long drives because people score in like 30 seconds (hey, more opportunities for the O to accumulate meaningless stats!) 2) Our gratuitous turnover differential. Not just an indictment on our D's inability to get stops or pressure. Throwing a bunch of interceptions and fumbling the ball away do not make for a productive offense, I don't care how many yards we put up between the 20s. 3) Backing out of field goal range. I don't have a final count, and it would take a while to compile, but I believe it's at least 6 or 7 times this year we've been in FG range, thrown negative yard screens and gotten sacked to move out of FG range. I know we did it at least 3 times in one game, so the number could be as high as 9 or 10 I would think. Our offense seems to be getting better, but we just played the WORST PASSING DEFENSE IN THE COUNTRY. Our boys executed. They did exactly what they were supposed to. They did a great job. But until they can regularly put up points on teams other than SMU and Navy, I'll withhold effusive praise about how this offense, which could barely score against Troy or ULM, turned the ball over 5 times vs. the MUTS, 4 times vs. ULL, 3 times vs. FAU, etc..

Yep, as long as we play terrible defenses, we'll be able to score a lot of points. Otherwise, we'll be around the bottom 20 offensive powerhouse we were before Navy.

No, it doesn't. You're not a real university supporter, sorry. I don't care if you have kids or a job or anything, you should re-prioritize your life around a sport you don't care about if you want people you don't know to consider you a proper Mean Green fan. Also, if you've ever been to a football game, you're a hypocrit. I don't know how, but you are. Only jerks watch NT basketball on the internet when they should be in the Pit. And you smell funny. Now please come and hang out with me at the basketball games.

Hey, I'm a fan of Vizza and think he's doing an excellent job, BUT... how come nobody mentions the coincidence of our offensive awakening with facing the only other defense in the country close to as bad as ours?

Or maybe they consider him talented enough to compete at DB moreso than our other LBs. Perhaps, due to our problems in the secondary and general depth at LB, they felt it was the best utilization of present talent.

sarcasm is fun.

I like how you talk about generalizations and then bring up the IMAGE that Pflugerville creates for you, as if it offered any relevance. Well, the importance of Miller's comments are that, if someone alleges there are different rules for black players, and a black player says they are unaware of them, it makes a case very very hard on the person making these allegations. If the deciding factor is supposedly RACE and not something else (like missing practice or insubordination), then it just doesn't make sense that some black players are not seeing this supposed racism. Are they not black? Essentially, right now it looks like there are different rules for black players who have been suspended or were pissed off about playing time and got into arguments with coaches. Note that Miller has been in trouble with the staff himself. It's obviously a problem with Dodge, though. He sets up different rules for the black athletes and then has copies of his black and white separate rulebooks handed out to his staff so that they can all get together and properly enforce the WHITE RULES and BLACK RULES accordingly.

This is the part that seems to get missed, and the first thing that's made sense.

about 2-4 wins.

Yikes. If bunches of turnovers in our own territory is ok, I hate to see what's considered bad.

This report sounds like it was written by a 6th-grader. No opportunity for hyperbolic adjectives has been missed. No real analysis. Again, someone just reads the stat sheets. And I think it's funny that the inconsistency of Vizza is due to his completing "just 52.5%" of his passes, while part of Dasher's success is illustrated by his 54.8% completion percentage. Not like he's completing 60%. Note that as a starter, mind you, Vizza's completion percentage has been 58.4%. Not to say that he HASN'T been inconsistent, because he certainly has. And Dasher himself is a true freshman playing some outstanding football, but he's throwing the ball significantly less than we are, so a completion percentage 2 points higher is fairly irrelevant. One of several major differences between the teams' offenses. We don't run the ball nearly as well, and they have a very solid O-Line.

Yep.

What gives is that we would've lost even if Troy only scored 10 points, because our offense was schooled. We failed to score more than once after SEVEN turnovers. The weakest part of our team for several weeks has been offense, not defense.

As I pointed out earlier, the only thing our offense was GREAT at was putting up a lot of passing yards between the 20s. Scoring has been a problem all year. The inability to get large chunks and sustained drives has been a problem all year. Being too predictable has been a problem all year. Blocking has been a problem all year. And, honestly, it's made fewer adjustments over the course of the season than the D. But all that passing sure is sexy!

Funny to read reports from people who only look at stat sheets. I mean, I consider myself a stathead, but this doesn't even look like someone who's read recaps.

i was gonna say the same thing.

I think it will be hard for this offense to score that much on so few possessions. Not that we can't, but our percentage isn't nearly that high this year. Perhaps your idea of an increased ground game would keep us from going backwards as much on the opponents' side of the field, but, realistically, I don't think that's a plan that can be implemented well for this team right now.

yeah, I'm sure that, until this last week, our head coach had paid no attention.
