Replayed this frame by frame, I focused only on the offense. I assume if you hold a team to 13 pts, you probably did OK.
I will say we have zero return game. Joseph cannot return a punt. There has to be someone on this team that can return punts.
We had 11 possessions. I really felt like most of you, TR called a bad game. Frame by frame tells a different story.
-We do NOT check out of plays. There were times that they should have checked out of a run. I dont know if thats a coaches call or a DP weakness.
-The run game was better than I thought against a 7-8 man front.
-Pyne locks on Mayer. I mean absolutely locks. They have to pull Mayer out of practice this week and force him to 2 other progressions first. The opening drive he had someone wide open on the right side but got his pass batted down going to mayer. 4th series JT was wide open and he forced to Mayer. 7th drive locks on Mayer and lenzy is wide open down field also Mitchell Evans further down field.
-Pyne just had a really bad game from accuracy. He missed wide open receivers on the 2nd (mayer), 3rd (TD to Lenzy), 5th (Lo) and 8th Tobias) possessions.
A few things that also didn't help:
The officials were pretty bad. First TD shot to Lo, the defender was pulling his left arm down. Mayers mystery hold, the missed hold on ND and the fumble that was overturned and clearly a fumble.
Fischer is still getting blown up on some pass plays, thats another area to look at.
There were also lots of RPO's that should have been pulled. IF your going to use the RPO offense, use it.
MF going for it on 4th down. Worked a few times but he needs to learn to live to fight another day. Take the points. Punt the ball. Dont beat yourself, its hard enought to win.
MF and TR get the blame for not beating it into DP to stop locking. They should shut down practice every time he does that.
DP had a terrible day and it cost us the game. He was throwing behind people, missing people and locking on people. He fumbled a few times, lost one. Everyone can have a bad game, but this was a horrid game. In the past when Coan had those, we could bring TB in to give him a breather and change the pace. We probably lose to Toledo, Purdue and VT if not for TB. This is DP's 3rd start, hopefully he shakes it off.
Bottom line from the reply TR had plays called that where there, DP did not execute them. That is a fact when you watch the replay. MF probably should stop talking about execution in pressers, he owns practicing it until execution is there.
Even as bad as DP was, the turn overs did us in. You could have had an ugly win if your clean on turn overs.
We need our QB to be at 60%+ to win. You cannot win at 48% and 2 TO's.
