Gameday Thread: Iron Skillet Edition

[LVH]

But … But … we beat a SWAC team ...

The problems I was pointing out that were apparent during the UAPB game(linebackers not filling holes allowing runs that could be stopped for no gain to go for 3-4) are rearing their head in this one.

Maybe time to recruit receivers who can actually run routes and separate from DBs.

Watching our offensive execution makes me want to execute our offense. We suck

 

[Moose Stuff]

Suggested earlier this week that TCU could not fall far behind for a third time in a row to SMU early in the game, because the Ponies are good enough now to hold that lead. Now, I am more concerned if the offense today is capable of scoring 40 plus points. I think it is going to take 45 minimum for the Frogs to win today.

Scheiss Smu.

The problem isn’t THEM being good enough, it’s US being good enough.

1 completed pass in 30 minutes of football against SMU. There is no adjective to describe how unbelievably [ steaming pile of Orgeron ]ty and unacceptable that is. We kept Cumbie a year or two too long, I’m starting to think we’re getting close to this offense setting the program back years. You can’t win with this [ steaming pile of Orgeron ]. Period.

Games like this will hurt recruiting. But the bad offensive coaching will hurt more. How can we not get good assistants?

 

[Froggish]

I saw High School games in OK with better execution

 

[Pharm Frog]

Looks like it's do-or-die with Duggan.

Can you imagine the crowd size next week if TCU doesn't pull this one out?

I’ll be here and see if I can beat my $6 APB tickets. Got a call earlier this week from TCU asking whether I wanted a 4-game ticket pack. Said no way. Costs far too much when I’ve not paid more than $18 a ticket in a long time

 

[Big Frog II]

I hope Gary is ripping them a new one. The offensive coaches that is.

 

[TCUWIN]

I mean say what you want about our offense but our defense is getting shredded right now. SHREDDED.

Our offense is bad but our defense looks lost...Un coached. Kind of looking like when we play Oklahoma and we can’t stop them. Oh wait...we still have to play Oklahoma. Crap.

 

[ThisIsOurTime]

If Frogs cut out the turnovers, we are probably up 7 at the half. That being said, we need to see more fight from the team across the board in the 2nd half. Right now, SMU wants this game more than we do. That has to change in the 2nd half. The law of averages says we will see them struggle more in the 2nd half and we need to take advantage.

The coaches decided to stick with Duggan despite him struggling so hopefully he can calm down in the 2nd half and we can see the rest of the offense rally around him. On defense, we just need to disrupt Buechele's timing a little more and we should have improved results. Dee Winters is showing up again but we need some of our other players to follow suit.

 

[Prince of Purpoole]

Silver lining: At least I didn’t pay to fly up to this game, stay in Chicago and drive to West Lafayette and back to watch this [ Finebaum ]e

 

[Mean Purple]

We just need more screens called, then we'll be good to go.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Games like this will hurt recruiting. But the bad offensive coaching will hurt more. How can we not get good assistants?

So has recruiting been good enough to hurt?

 

[frogs9497]

Gary should probably be ripping himself a new one too.

 

[Hoosierfrog]

Shades of the year we beat OU before B12. Hope the year turns out that well...

 

[TCUWIN]

I hope Gary is ripping them a new one. The offensive coaches that is.

Defensive coaches too. Like Moose said, it’s not like the defense hasn’t been shredded. But he needs to get ripped too. His team is not prepared. That’s on him.

 

[Big Frog II]

They thought after Purdue that we were good and got the big head.

 

[dawg]

Also, it looks like our receivers aren't even running routes and getting separation.

Which is all down to their coaching. Cumbie and Anderson need to go. Tonight.

 

[Froggish]

It’s uncanny how Cumbie can take an offense with 7 seniors and actually make them worse after 4 years

 

[ThisIsOurTime]

Looks like it's do-or-die with Duggan.

Can you imagine the crowd size next week if TCU doesn't pull this one out?

I think that is the decision the coaches made when they didn't sit Duggan for a series or two. Let's hope Duggan can rise to the occasion. The halftime break may be good for him.
