Bryant Sheriff's best game ever, and the D was better

After all, the coaches at NC State knew he wasn’t a QB and was only good for fullback.

On a separate note, can we start spelling the poor guy’s last name correctly? Shirreffs.

It's to the point now where it's worse than the "Casey Whitmere" mash-ups that we used to get a couple of years back...

to be fair, the staff thought Pindell should start at one point, too. Next years QB battle will be very strong with Pindell, Washington, Krajewski and McAfee.

They played great for 55 minutes. Don't know what the hell has happened to Summers. Kid has regressed a ton, maybe he's nicked up.

Got great pressure from the DL today. Foley and Ormsby I think had 2 sacks each and even Luke finished one off instead of just barely missing. Britton, Joseph, Brayden, Diggs, and Terry all had impressive tackles near the LOS un run plays.

It looks like it's starting to come together in spite of today's ending.

Not saying much given his play, but I thought Summers played his best game of the season thus far.

Probably, but he looks so tentative out there.

He's not the same player he was, but did he come up huge on the final play.

On Tulsa's last drive seeing two players get behind our defenders, Summers and Coyle, setting up the last play was just mind boggling. Giving up the short throw was not a problem there, giving up chunks and with the second to last play a better throw might have been a score. Should not have come down to that as Bryant said. Offense in the 4th Q not being able to run the ball and going 3 and out, after not getting a TD earlier at first and goal from a yard out set up a nerve wracking ending. Offense has to be able to put more points up. Nice to get this win though. Sets up next week as a big game for us and that did not look to be the case 3 weeks ago.

The PI penalty Summers committed on the final drive was smart. Wasn't good that he let his man get behind him but it was a good penalty to take. Heads up play really.

Summers almost cost us the game. How you let a guy get behind you with a minute left is inexcusable

I'm a few beers in. I read that as McEntee and looked around my living room, assessed space and time, made several powerful arguments for Scott McCummings, and then reread your post.

Imagine my disappointment in realizing the 5-7 2011 UConn Huskies are only nostalgia!

You could also argue that he won us the game with his coverage on the final play.

Shirreffs was very good today. He is a tough kid and brings leadership. The D was terrific until 4th quarter. We became less aggressive and didn’t blitz as much. If you send 4 on rush in 3-3-5 is that blitzing?

He was only among the 12th best QB in CFB on Pass Rating at 163...very disappointing. We need to find some talent.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

We should have buried Tulsa in the first half, and then the defense fell apart at the end. Whatever. We really needed the win yesterday given the rest of our schedule, so I am not going to complain about anything that happened. I will take a win any way we can get it.

The fact that this is being said after a game where we scored 20 tells you a lot about the 2017 vs 2016 seasons.

He distributed the ball to all his receivers. That's socialism.

Politics, take it to the cesspool.

Overall I agree it was as well as he has played as a Husky.

Sherriff went to secondary receivers yesterday. Great, I just wish it didn't take him five years to do it. And I'm sure Edsall was also pleased he didn't put the ball in danger very often. Great to have a no INT game. His throw to a wide open Davis that would have made it 24-0 was bad. Right into the dirt. Still, it was a very good performance especially since we provided no running game to help him.
