The offensive staff at TCU

Tier 1
The offensive coaching staff is marginally better than the defensive coaching staff, who have better players to work with on that side of the ball; and, they've given up 38 points and close to 400 yards to SMU, at home; with nearly a quarter left to go...

We all know Steel is a troll but he's not totally wrong either. Gary and his defense got taken to the woodshed by Sonny Dykes. Plenty of blame to go around here.

Although the 4th and 1 call by Cumbie alone is demotion worthy. Just the dumbest thing I've seen in a football game since the last time we tried that same play a few years ago with Kyle Hicks.

SMU has a highly talented senior QB. So you game plan to not give him the ball. Our line is bigger and we have two excellent RBs. Meanwhile our QB is a freshman and our receivers are dicey. So you run the ball on first down, then you run it again. Control the clock, control the game, keep their guy off the field. We got behind on trick play--always the achilles heel of this defensive scheme--then we played from behind all game long and the defense spent too long on the field. Yes, GP got outsmarted today. But this isn't about point totals--that stat doesn't tell you everything. The pattern of the game was exactly what Dykes would have wanted. We didn't establish our game, because Sonny doesn't want running the football to be our game. He's a Tech-Leach creature; he always will be, and I'm sick of it.

The offense put the defense in a pickle too many times. Fumble on the 4 and fumble around the 20. That was 11 points. Not kicking a FG on 4th down in the 3rd Qtr. What was that all about?

Every time we play them they come ready to play, pull some trick plays and we end up playing catch up. This time it was too late.
