Sold on Bench?

[NCBull]

This game turned last night when the ball was almost touching the goal line and we couldn't score. The fourth down call brought back nightmares from UConn and VooDoo 5

this was the head scratcher to me and agree it was the turning point. Running wide would have been my last choice. Is there a thing as being too close to the goal line for a fade? We have got some huge wr's/te's so why not utilize them there ...

I think we ran wide because we tried up the middle a couple of times and Shaw did not have the power. If he weighed 20 more lbs he would have scored on the first down run IMO.

I would not run a fade with our QB's. It is a solid call for that situation, just not for this team.

I still think we should have tried up the middle but I understand the call.

Then they should have ran up the middle with Pierre.

Tight ends, anyone?

I thought Bench did some good things, but it looks like he struggled throwing deep outside of the hash marks.

i said in beginning of years we had no qbs and bench would play

i didnt see the game but it appears our defense isnt that good

WE NEED TALENT

another embarrassing loss

You must not have seen the stats either. The defense was not the issue.

When the other team's defense out scores your offense the problem is clear

 

 

WRONG.  When the defense gives up that many points to FAU, then there is a problem.  Yes, subtract the points given up by the offense on turn overs, and the defense was still terrible.

 

Just because the offense is just pure putrid crap, it does not excuse the defense for terrible play against a lower level team.

 

Just imagine what UM will do to USF.  Just wait until the AAC conference schedule.  USF fans better get used to getting clobbered this season.

I am hoping that now that we have a bye week, they can engineer some offense around his skills.

The only issue I have with the defense is how anyone can just run up the middle on them.

You subtract the points off turnovers and it's 7 .... 7 is many??

I never QB'd but I thought Bench looked odd.  He released passes from all over, threw over the top sometimes, from the hip others.  He threw off balance a lot, sometimes from the back foot, sometimes from the front.  Maybe the situation called for it.  What I saw looked to me like a guy that would be great in a pickup game.  He seemed like he was in need of coaching to gain some consistency in his motion so that there can be consistency in his passing.

Defense didn't play well. either.  Their pathetic offense scored more than Michigan State

 

Can't pin this one on the D. They gave up 220 yards and 14 points.

 

Any team with any semblance of an offense will win a game if their D gives them those stats.

offensive line is terrible at pass blocking. Running blocking is adequate.

4 runs inside the 5 yard line suggest otherwise.

Since when is adequate good?

We seem to be a decent running team.

imo Bench has to start vs Miami...

 

The OL can't block and we need a guy with wheels.
