I don't mind it every once in a while. The candyvandy linebacker made a nice play to bring him down. If WB gets free I think he gets the first down.

Same story every week with Wimbush. Hits a few passes on the first drive, offense has a rhythm and they get down the field and score. After that they become predictable, gimmicky and do too much east/west instead of north/south. Book needs to be the starter.
I agree 100% but our QB throwing is our limiting factor.
Look, BW just doesn't pass the eye test for a QB that you can rely on. He's a 50% completion passer. And always will be. The OL gashed VU and the ground game is clicking. That should help a QBs passing % but it doesn't seem to help BW. I'm not saying Book would be any better at this point. It is what it is. But every time he goes back to pass, I hold my breath.
Sure I get that too. But if BW is throwing I prefer it on 2ND and 1 than 3rd and long. Last two games he has been under 50% passing only on 3rd down...he was passing for 75% on 1St down throws. You know, when the defense is keying on the running play they know is coming almost every time...
Defense looks good. Need to keep the pressure up. I don't care what Flutie keeps saying I don't think their QB is that good.
Come on IRISH!!!!!!!! 3 and out and then a TD and lets put this game away.

I see your point. My perspective is pound the D on 2nd and 1 with BW at QB. Now if our QB was dependable, sign me up. He's not , so the odds of converting are actually higher if you pound it forward. And do you see any real progression with him? Mainly on his reads. His decision process scares me.
You guys sound like my nagging wife. The meltdowns on these threads are always comedy. Thanks for the laughs.
Exactly right. Something just not clicking w this offense and Brandon. I don’t know exactly what it is but this game should be like 28-3.
Book would be better passing no question about it. He’s more accurate and the timing is better. We’ve seen it!
Wimbush is not the quarterback that will take us to the playoff. He is not a passing Quarterback, plain and simple. Any good coach can game plan and take his one dimensional offense and shut it down
Folks you are also missong the point of when the game feels in hand you want to establish tendencies that you can exploit later in the season against tougher opponents. If you start running play action on first down against ball st and vandy it will be scouted and planned for against stanford, why waste the opportunity to set those tendencies on film? Its a season not a game and success wont be determined va ball state or vandy
I'm not saying you're wrong. I figure unless you're going to pack up the offense and just run the option (which is not smart contrary to what some people have posted) BW will have to pass some even as a run first offense. So when you have the defense at a disadvantage let WB throw with a little breathing room.
Couldn’t agree more. Book is nimble enough to allow his passing ability to get him some rushing yardage. Wimbush cannot use his passing game to help him in his running game. He cannot beat you with his arm
You’re overthinking this. Long needs to drop a few wrinkles here and there and get a big time lead on these teams when we can. There’s no way anyone on that coaching staff thought Hey, let’s not call everything in the book so we can have Ball St attempt an onside kick at the end of the game. No way in hell. I get not calling everything but there’s got to be betterment balance. Not seeing it yet.
Defense once again carrying the Offense. I like what I see on the defensive side of the ball and think they'll get better and better... my my goodness this offense is dismal.
Junk football. God awful offense. Holy shit. Our WRs are 6’6 beasts and we can’t ever seem to get them the ball. If I never see a wide receiver screen again I’ll be ecstatic. Dumb ass call. Sick of it.
That play. Right there. 3rd and 13. A WR screen? From the 50. Not a vote of confidence from the coaches.
Totally agree. If you have trust in your quarterbacks arm you take a shot for a first down
Let’s be honest, they can only call half of the playbook with Wimbush in. They are conservative because they know he is a turnover machine.
Long needs his Fn head examined after that shit. I’m sick n tired of this crap. I can’t believe how inefficient and poorly prepared this offense is once again.
If you're going to schedule Ball States and Vanderbilts... you better damn well blow them out... sad...
