It sure is nice when your team wins a conference game that clearly and the only TDs it gives up are garbage time. But don't forget, this is the very same team that lost the first half in Lubbock by a score of 52-7. That was not just a bad dream. It did happen.
Hats off to Caponi and staff for making adjustments. It was nice to see them mix up the different looks.
The defense is improving and the offense has shown the ability to be explosive.
Also, kudos to the special teams. Blocking punts, great returns, and hitting a FG.
Nature is healing, we are 4-1.
If Morris stays healthy he could be the most sought after QB in the country this offseason. Maybe the competition level curbs some of that? Until the rules change, getting one year of him is what to expect of someone playing at this high a level. Then it comes down to Eric Morris. He’s got to be getting noticed as one heckuva QB whisperer. QBs are gonna flock here to play for him, as a result.
As to the original question, Morris is in his 5th season of college football and his best strengths, IMO, are his grasp of the offense and quick, accurate release. He’s a smart player and has the talent to match his rating coming out of high school. I would have loved to have seen Fine in a 5th year and not wasted in a bad offensive scheme change his final season. I’ve been around since the mid 90s, just missing Maher. Fine and Morris are the best that I’ve seen. Gotta let the season finish before I’d pick a winner.
We have played almost exclusively man in our secondary the last two weeks. Rarely have we had an actual free safety and have not played two high at any point. Our coverage has been outstanding. And yes, we have started tackling and being physical.
Out scheme is very simple, but that allows players to key fast. Sometimes we still don't fit correctly, but that will get better with film.
People see big wins. Beat Memphis who suddenly looks vulnerable, beat Tulane, beat Army, win the conference, win a big bowl. Have a 2022 Tulane season. People will notice.
