ECU on ESPNU right now...

... putting on an offensive clinic on SMU... we should take notes...

Remember way back when (11 years ago now ) when our offense could move the football??? Dan O and Terry Caulley in the backfield? Geesh, if we can figure it out on that side of the ball... I HATE our current offensive philosophy...

The quarterback is excellent. Just throws a beautiful ball. This might get ugly.

Kudos to SMU going for it down 21-0 on 4th and 2 at midfield.

 

[ktuck911]

seeing them concerns me about us... does our QB believe in all of his WRs ? and visa versa? There's gotta be some sort of belief in one another to play pitch and catch like that in traffic... that's not coached... we gotta start believing in each other on the field a little more instead of just 'running the play'... am I wrong in this assessment?

Three fourth down conversions on one drive for SMU.

 

[Adios]

SMU scored an offensive touchdown. We're in big trouble.

Texas A&M's unis today are amongst the best I've ever seen. Mississippi State are destroying them. Without Balis.

Butch,
I am thinking MSU is currently in the position they are with a very big and tough group of hombres is due in part to
the work that Balis did the last number of years before leaving for Storrs. In our current state, I'm looking for all the
positive I can and watching MSU come on the last three years I am hoping is a positive cue for us in things to come .....

SMU is going to kill us.

What can we do as a program to become like ECU?

Seriously, we'd be lucky and be in a lot better position conference realignment-wise if our football team were as good as theirs.

I can't see us beating anyone on our schedule for the remainder of the year without a miracle or a wild change such as Foxx as the primary QB.

Be patient

ECU has excellent players at all of the skill positions. I think Geremy is probably the only one of our skill players who could start for them. Mobile qb, that's bad news for us. I don't have hopes that we'll beat them. If we stay within 17 points, I'd take that result. ECU's defense looks pretty good, SMU is moving the ball here in the 2nd half, though.... All I know is, we will not lose this weekend.

Even comparing football programs, UCONN is the more attractive school to any of the 5 power conferences. Our b-ball programs, and the school itself, make us WAY more of a viable choice than any of the other schools in the AAC. That being said, if our football program doesn't improve, we're in trouble.

Yea, this has proven true so far...

Look at the past dozen years and compare the two. ECU hasn't exactly been the 1980's Miami Hurricanes. Overall they've had a couple of good years, some decent years and some out and out terrible ones (as bad, if not worse than where we are at the moment). On the whole over that time frame we've been the better program. We will be again before too long.

ECU quarterback appears to be pretty legit.
