Savion running the ball

I like it. Funny, our longest run of the season was Savion. If he’s as athletic as described, I like the idea of getting him the ball any way possible. I recall him running two plays in a row in the second half.

Gee, its like our OC might have a clue how to help the team score.
Yeah, he's terrific. He's certainly not responsible for the way our offense continually draws penalties, commits turnovers, and disappears for multiple quarters in games even against statistically awful defenses whose head coach is going to be fired. This is exactly what TCU should look like on offense for me. Anyone else?

The idea that anything Johnny Tape-fingers ever does right, even if it's finding a creative fix for a problem that is his responsibility in the first place, immediately negates all of the criticisms of him and/or proves that his detractors are motivated by groundless personal grievance is silly. Two seasons' worth of evidence says he's not a good coach. That doesn't mean he can't do anything right. But on balance he seems to get more wrong, and the most important things.

Savion has great instincts as a ball carrier. Loved the cut at the line as much as the spin move on the first TD. (first play here) : )

Also, Hoov made excellent back shoulder throws for TD's to Bech and McAlister, and threaded the needle perfectly to Rogers for another score. Plus the perfect 50 yard bomb to Bech that set up Rogers’ score. I know we gripe about Hoov's turnovers. But he makes great throws.

It’s not that he doesn’t make great throws. He does on occasion. It’s the carelessness with the ball that is just a killer at times. Like on that fumble at the 5-yard line, he has to know that in that situation, and especially on first down, you’ve got to know that either the throw is there, or you protect the ball and play another down. I guess you could say it’s a poor play call but he just doesn’t seem to understand the importance of possession enough. He’s cost us multiple times by not being aware and being way too loose with the ball at critical spots on the field.

Adding a running game Saturday made all the difference in the world. Without one we were one dimensional to say the least. Check out the Dallas Cowboys. Hopefully our coaches will make this a priority for next year.

Um, I think by “groundless personal grievance” you mean “well-founded concerns based on documented past performance in his professional role”. I don’t care if the guy invents the world’s greatest offense ever, we should hold those in positions of leadership an authority to a higher standard - and his actions while at Baylor make him unfit for any role at TCU.

I tend to suspect that most football coaches are probably at least a little bit gross. I wouldn't have hired Briles in light of his back history at Baylor because I don't believe he knew nothing about it, but as others have fairly pointed out, we hired Kaz, who was at least as important to the Briles regime as Art, Jr. Again, I'm sure we could have hired other people in those roles who didn't have that back history, but if the argument is fair for Johnny Tape-fingers it's fair for any other former Briles-era Baylor refugees, too.

I just don't think Briles Jr. is a good OC.

Lining him up as a QB and have him take off running can't last long, even the Tech D caught on after a few times................
yup, they caught on pretty quick.
That's why most expected to see they play where he tossed it back to Hoov and then the pass. Worked. Just felt like most where we were seated saw that coming. Guessing Tech was ready for it, but we just have more dudes.

I hate to agree with it, but carelessness is a good descriptive.
