Gameday Thread: TCU vs Mountaineers (Early Edition)

[Relic]

He knew we had no chance of making it!

Really? We have Evans and have no chance? None?

 

[Mean Purple]

This thing ain't about Bumpas. The RPO (run/pass option) is eating this defensive scheme apart. We HAVE to recognize this and recognize that Gary is incapable of changing his scheme. He says he wants to "blitz more" which is exactly what the RPO hope to do.

Most offensive coaches have figured out how easy it is show one thing and just play another against his split field schemed garbage.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Gary must revamp his staff. They can’t coach.

So Gary must do that?

 

[helcap]

If we are lucky ESPNU will cut to the ECU-Houston game

And we’d just converted a 4th and goal for a TD.

 

[TooColdU]

We just did the previous drive and it worked.

That’s the ridiculous part of the whole thing

The WV TO have Gary too much time to overthink it and he got scared

 

[Froggy Style]

True unless you can blitz the middle but that takes DTs that are occupiers

If you run the 3-2-6 right, you can squeeze the middle run and let some DBs be there for contain on the outside and/or drop into the flats for covere if it's a pass. Added benefit of safeties deep and someone to cover the RB swing pass. You can also blitz off the edge without committing 7 people in the box and leaving 4 to cover 4.

Yeah his defensive scheme is past its prime. Predictably he will have a tough time admitting this.

I totally agree! I have been a Frog since 1970 and have seen some really poor teams, but this one is really bad! Limited offense and absolutely no defense! We would have difficulty beating a high school team! No enthusiasm!

Yep. Graduated in 74 the years after I graduated were among the worst in college football history. Love what GP has done for TCU but ….something must give

Working on my 4th drink. Going to get interesting

Yup. Offenses have changed a bunch since GP started coaching at TCU. His defense hasn't changed at all.

Good job Marcel.

Opened a nice bottle of Bevan tonight...might have to switch to the brown water to make this watchable.

Thank you for just kicking deep Mr. Special teams. Do that against UT and you win the game.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Good job kickoff team!

Yeah I went hard liquor tonight.

Chucky Hunter was the best we had at that. Loved that guy, so underrated.

Is it losing Bumpas or RPO? I dunno, but I know we've been mediocre for awhile now. We can pay a fraction of the coaching costs and get the same results, you know like all those other sub .500 teams out there.

I miss those days when we used to worry about losing Patterson, I wish someone would try to take him from us, but why would anyone want him? He keeps blaming his staff, but it's pretty clear that he's the problem.

WVU scored 20 points against TEXAS TECH all game. Just pointing that out for no reason.
