Game thread for SMU


outoftown

Recommended Posts

SMU right now is just manhandling us.  We've made mistakes but right now it appears SMU is just this much better than us.

Offensive, it looks like we're using a different game plan than we did those first two drives.  We also can't run the ball at all.

Defensively, we're hanging tough but can't make a stop on third and long.  We gave them the first touchdown by missing tackles on two different plays including the touchdown.

 First have observations 

 Defense of line too small and too slow 

 Defense backs not covering  too much buffer

 Offense came out great. SMU adjusted and we didn't 

Very very poor play calling after the first couple drives

IMO Fine is not a "play creator".  Not saying he cannot move the team but he does not create opportunities 

 Cortland may have 5 to 6 touchdowns in this game 

 We came out strong but I have been overwhelmed since we went up 10-0

realistically I think most people believe we would lose this game. We came out strong and got her hopes up. We still have a long, long way to go

Hold on..  Sutton beat us last year, we talked all week about him, and we're not double covering him?  What the F are we doing?

On the last touchdown there's not real way to double team on that throw.  On the second touchdown we had two guys there but the corner just completely blew the play by misreading the ball.

Looks like a completely different game plan.

I feel like we have barely tried anything deeper than 10 yards, leading to SMU stacking the box. Also we reverted to a Canales/Coach Mac style offense after our first two drives. Why did we change? I don't know. It had been working

On defense we are actually doing a decent job for two downs. But third down are reaaaaally bad. We really need to play more make it or break it on third down (also known as giving pretty much zero cushion and blitzing the hell out of it.

We correct those two things, this game can still be won. We don't and it could end 51-10

 I know this sounds bad but I think a win is out of the question at this point. Sutton will get at least 2 to 3 more touchdowns in the second half. Only hope we can be competitive and make a good showing
