Official Game Thread- Tame The Herd 12/26

[Scoe]

Marshall's offense is good, but theres no excuse for the missed tackles our offense as usual sucks ass.

 

[FluxTZ]

Man, that Marshall ad was bad.

 

[Scoe]

Would anyone be against an onside kick to start the half, remember the Saints did it against the Colts in the Superbowl.

 

[sub legacy]

Tbey have given up 13 and the only TD was on a short field. How is the defensive scheme an issue. It's the offense that can't join the 20th century nevermind the 21st.

It's definitely not solely on the defense, no.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

First play of the last drive, from their own 4. The WR caught the ball 15 yards down field standing still with Williams a good 7-8 yards off of him.

We made some offensive adjustments. Let the CB's play football.

The American Conference has core values?

 

[Skiblets]

The extra practices seem to have helped tremendously b

 

[Adios]

The American Conference has core values?

To make it to the "P5" level of pay, yes.

 

[BugsyCT]

One big play was Shirreffs scramble on 2nd & long to get to 3rd & 1. Just not getting that extra couple feet was the difference in not sustaining that drive.

Diaco basically signed off on a FG with Marshall staring at 96 yards in front of them. God forbid we play defense, stop them and get points of our own before halftime.

 

[shakes65]

If we don't stop them on this opening drive we're done.

Definitely need to stop them. but we have to open it up on offense, secondary has to close it up on coverage, and God almighty, we have to tackle. Really, pretty remarkable that the Herd has only 13 points and we can win this thing.

 

[Adios]

And now, we play a commercial featuring a nerdy female. Great pick!

 

[BlueDogs]

D is having trouble and dishing arrows. Need 3 and out opening half.

 

[Excalibur]

We're giving up yard in huge chunks. The fact that Marshall didn't try after getting to the 30 yard line on the last drive was a gift. We also held the ball for more than half of the first quarter. That's why the score is manageable.

 

[BugsyCT]

D gameplan - tackle, tackle, tackle.

 

[Tenspro2002]

"Get more makeable 3rd downs" = keep running on 1st and 2nd down, so we can keep running on 3rd down. .

 

[Stainmaster]

No more penalties like that, come on now.

 

[Adios]

That MW ref looks happy to penalize us.

 

[UConn990411]

Can the D play any softer?

 

[Gurleyman]

Well, our offense should be well rested.

 

[BlueDogs]

This is tough watching this slow death

 

[Storrsbred]

Marshall proving they can play small ball. As long as UCONN plays soft, Marshall will have no trouble on O.

 

[jdb50]

Big cushions hoping they make a mistake and we just give up yards

 

[Husky25]

The 15 yarder likely saved 6 points.

 

[Redding Husky]

We can't stop them.

I want a rematch on real grass, with freezing rain and 30 degrees.
