Delaware Post Game Meltdown

I said this in the chat but I’ll leave it here….

Last week wasn’t a step back for us but a missed chance to make that next progression that this program should be making, beating a P4 school on our schedule. This game, was a massive leap backwards. Last year we beat every G5 school we played, showing we did what we should have done. This year that should have continued and it looks dim that we will break .500. Which is pathetic with the weak schedule we have.

The coaches need to figure this out and the players need to take a hard look in the mirror to see if they really have what it takes to win and if they want it bad enough.

Move on from Fagnano. Need a mobile QB see what Evers can do and if he is not the answer then you know for next year. On the fourth and 2, if he makes a decent pass to the receiver it's a first down, game over. OT, if he leads the TE he walks into end zone. Throws it behind him. He has no accuracy and no mobility

Fagnano choked plain and simple. He misses a lot of easy throws. Evers was so bad last year, so Fagnano was like see a mini glass of water in the desert.

The defense is weaker than wet toilet paper.
 
The defense is reminiscent of Edsall 2.0

Terrible angles. Terrible tackling. Guys in the wrong spots. Dumb penalties on 3rd and 4th down. Not big enough to hold our ground at the LOS. Not fast enough in the secondary to catch anyone. Guys bouncing off shoulder pads. Heads down all the time.

Horrendous effort today. They seemed like they didn't want to be there.
 
our offense is alright, good enough to get us enough points to have a chance every week. That would have been enough, under one critical assumption:

to have any chance at a season, we needed to play our faces off on Defense, as we did in '24. It is now glaringly obvious that Defensively, we are a shadow of our past 2 years. with the loss of jalani, pryce, jackson, Jayden mcdonald, and others, we are back to a 2021-and-prior level of Defensive talent. And in the era of NIL, that is disappointing to see. Brock showed what he can do when he's got dawgs in his pound. this year he's got nothing to work with. That's on Jim Mora and the recruiting staff. They utterly FAILED FAILED FAILED to re-tool this defense.

Given that reality, I must put us at 5-6 wins tops this year. Jim Mora deserves some grace, but this AD has to make some tough decisions this summer about whether they want to spend the money necessary to build a P4 team.

Not good enough. When it came time to close out the game with a first down, they couldn't get it on a 3rd and 2 or a 4th and 2. And they had to settle for a FG in OT with the ball at the 2 yard line.

Sorry, I added to the previous post. I am sick to my stomach. I don’t want to jump from the ledge, but after this game I have to cling on to any positive I can.

Running Game?
2nd game in a row they couldn’t get a first down to seal the game.

Or even attempt to run on 3rd and 2, especially if your gonna go for it or in ot from the 2. If you can’t get the 1st down on 2 tries you didnt deserve to win anyways.

Joe missed quite a few easy throws, and that miss to TE sealed our fate. Our D didn't play well all day giving up yard after yard.

Just numb right now.

And it's an easy throw that he's probably practiced 10,000 times. He throws over the wrong shoulder a lot.

The worst part? He's almost certainly our best QB...

It just looks like Brock is throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks with the blitz packages. It's basically gambling.

The players make terrible decisions, have no discipline and no awareness.

They just lost to Delaware. We have coordinators who have been exposed as completely out of their depth and have single handily cost us 2 games in nut time.

And your worried about P4.
 
Knowing what we know now about this team the best I can hope for is being in a bunch of shootouts where we play a fun high scoring style of offense without any real expectations of a win. Otherwise, this team (really, this program) will continue to break your heart.

JF makes these critical mistakes far foo often. He’ll play decent/okay for most of the game and that’s great, but we aren’t good enough to survive these mistakes.
