Evidently I'm not either, I'm just a guy in the booth. I'll work on it for next weeks game though so we don't have to refresh out pages every couple minutes.
Pat is a good recruiter and a great motivator but he's a terrible x/o's coach
Maybe he saw something with their formation and wanted to make sure his D was ready. Not a terrible decision, especially since they didn't convert on 3rd and settled for a FG.
He's not a complete turtle out there, that's not what I'm saying, but he does appear to have lost a step.
He's actually pretty decent at managing the clock.
Anybody named NWFAN is probably not an NU fan. And now you're stuck with a really bad handle if you are
Clayton looks better this year, but otherwise it's pretty similar to what we saw last season. Nothing spectacular from the OL, WRs who aren't burners, and ho-hum playcalling from McCall. Maybe we squeak this one out, but many of the same concerns remain with our offense.
I think you're right. It wasn't a clock management decision. Geez, tough crowd.
But our offense play calling has to improve. Very predictable.
At least Turk isn't here anymore to scream about it all day. That's a positive. Otherwise, I agree that the playcalling remains uninspired.
I don't have a problem with the playcalling. Its the poor execution. Clayton needs to read the D better and our OL just has to do a better job of winning their battles. There are no holes for JJTBC. He is creating a few yards out of nothing on every run.
He's taking false steps. I've seen a few runs where he is late to the play because he's misstepping and getting caught up in the flow.
On the positive side, Walsh and J. Jones have made some nice plays on defense. Good to see from two guys who didn't contribute much last season.
