What surprises me is that you read it.Looks like Chase’s F+ has overrated this team.
For me, Golson was the most frustrating QB of the Kelly era. Incredible arm, threw a beautiful pass, had athleticism to extend plays and represent a true dual threat, started off like an All American talent. But turnovers, an inability to throw the ball away when no one was open, failure to accept coaching, etc… ruined what looked like a promising career in Kelly’s offense. Him walking past Kelly and just ignoring Kelly’s outbursts was incredibly disrespectful of his obligation as the team’s starting QB…much more an indictment of Golson than Kelly. But as I said, the image of him just ignoring a red faced Kelly screaming over yet another mistake filled series is one hell of a lasting image.
Hopefully we see Leonard stretch the field. Rewatching lat weeks game I was impressed with Bowen taking on the lead blocker. No fear in that kid.
IT seems to me that Denbrock is back to scheming the perfect pass attempt for 5 yards.Love the play calling.
Yeah, I don't think we're gonna lose, but that wasn't good.gonna give everyone beenfit of the doubt and say that was a freak/fluke play
Those both split the difference imo. It may depend on what calculator the team uses, if any.Georgia Tech bypassed a 2nd in 22 for 3rd and 10 and Syracuse converted to pretty much seal the game. That was not smart IMO. Time was getting low but GT had enough time where they could clearly afford to have a running clock and call TO the next two plays. Bad decision making. McCord seemed to play very well from the parts I saw.
Arkansas had a dumb 4th down decision too IMO unless their FG kicker is horrible. Went for it on 4th and 5 from the OSU 23 in a tie game fourth quarter.
