Temple Post Game Thread

Not complaining, just calling it the way I see it. That is what an engineer does. Not popular, but not trying to win a contest. I am officially off the 10-2 bandwagon. Happy if it happens but at this point quite sure it won't.

Wake just beat NCST. Lotta work to do.

I still believe an 8 win floor is in the cards. This would've been a different game with Evers and Bell

 

[noeynox]

You don’t think Evers can make a 5 yard pass to one of our awesome receivers and then let them run for 40 50 60 yards? I think he can. That’s pretty much all Joe has done.

Why hasn't he?

Not to diminish the Wake win today, but they did knock the NC State QB out of the game and they had to go with a true freshman the rest of the game

It broke at the end and we almost gave the game away...

If you don't understand why the defense was tired at the end, and why (at minimum) 7 points weren't even on them, then you weren't paying attention. The defense was fantastic today...

They haven’t let him very often and there have been a lot of drops. Not to mention he can’t seem to keep from getting concussed.

The defense was great anyone complaining wasn't paying attention

Why were you on a 10-2 bandwagon? Pretty optimistic. No way I can spend time nitpicking a W after 10 garbage years including one historically bad D. We look like a real football team. There were a bunch of high ranked upsets today. Ask my Wolverine son. I’ll take an ugly win any day.

Nope. He routinely misses those.

In case you are still confused. This is what an actual dual threat QB looks like.

They get dropped because he throws the ball in bad spots.

He gets concussed because he can’t slide and runs too much. He’s fast but not quick.

Hasn’t Evers missed two games completely and most of two others? The other two games were running game clinics. No need to throw. I think he has it in him.

I have had issues with Fagnano's arm strength since the first time I saw him against NC State. The OC has to adjust to what Fagnano can do, which is make good reads and be a reasonably accurate passer. All these running plays and RPO's are not his style, and when he doesn't set his feet to throw, the ball flutters. He should start in the pocket, and go from there.

The offensive line wasn't great today against a bad Temple front six. We have to do better than 2.4 ypc against Temple.

The defense played great until the last long Temple drive. Prior to Temple's last possession, their longest drive was 44 yards. Their 4 scoring drives were a blocked punt recovered in the end zone, a 60 yard kick, -10 yards after a fumble recovery leading to a FG, and 44 yard drive after an interception. If we had a better running game today, this game would have gotten out of hand quickly.

Mr. Evers, why has he missed those games?

would've been a different game with Evers. I am not sold on Fagnano

Big win for the Huskies. They've been frustrating this year, so many costly penalties in games. They could really easily be 6-0 instead of 4-2 right now.

They were really far from even competing with Maryland, much less beating them. The only way we could be 6-0 was if Maryland got the date of the game wrong and didn’t show up.

 

[F101Voodoo]

Why are people so excited about beating Temple by 9 points? I think Mora just lost his job tonight #bringbackdiaco

Diaco was nothing but a blowhard likely crazy POG and about as useful as mammary gland on a bull.

 

[goalline]

As they say at the track, "you can't drive the car forward while looking backward"! "old guy" says on to WF......3 Ws and 3Ls would be quite a step forward for the program in MOP..Thanks for the great posts...PS 8 and 4 would be sweet.

We interrupt this thread for breaking news:

Vandy beats #1 Bama !!
Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.

UConn Shea Ralph influence......Again back to the regularly scheduled thread.

I said in the chat the defense would likely have to score for us to win, and that last play of the game kinda hit that point. I was surprised today. When I stopped listening as I had to go out with the family, we were down 1 and I thought we'd lose given the poor offensive performance. Glad the team pulled thru. We understand how Temple fans must feel cuz that was us in prior years. So UConn and the Mets win while BC and Bama loses...yah, it was a Fantastic day!!!!

I was joking in my original post, I was hoping the #bringbackdiaco thing would be a dead giveaway

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

You know who would’ve taken an ugly win today? Alabama.

I posted in the wrong thread, I was referring to a different Huskies. My bad.

I’m not confused at all and I’m not comparing him to that guy. That guy isn’t on our team. I wish he was.

“I have had issues with Fagnano's arm strength since the first time I saw him against NC State. The OC has to “

Joey seems to take a while to wind up and throw the ball. Not sure what I’m looking at , and what effect it has on his ability to make certain throws. Would agree that he is a pocket passer, when he rolls he doesn’t seem to deliver a crisp throw. Does anyone see a real leader out there? Follow me into hell kind of guy? More of a mid level management type of QB.

I blame the helmets.
