Nice

good grief Littrell put Fine on the bench. What good is it doing other than padding golden boys stats, while also risking injury

Are you still around?  I thought the board had banished you after last weeks win proved that recruiting didn't matter at all?

[oldguystudent]

Unbelievable that they went for it.  What a dick move.

Has one wondering what Shanbour might have done to be that deep in the doghouse. I can't imagine what that could be from a guy like him though.

Don't think is anything against Shanbour, coaches are just being stubborn.

 

And then Mason almost runs in a TD

Yeah, but this reaaaaaaaalllllly is the bad kind of McCarney stubborn. And it may send a signal to the starting QB and the team. But it sure sends a horrible signal to the backups, saying you believee that thy are under no circumstances important enough to play other than straight up injury.

big f'n deal Fine got 2 TD's against 2nd and 3rd teamers while back-ups get no reps. Solid coaching job there.

You hit the nail on the head. This is all about padding Fine's stats. Shanbour has proven to be a capable player. They act as though there is no backup. If I were Shanbour I would be very upset.

solid defense tonight giving up 69 pts and a new CUSA record of 800 yds

With all due respect this is a great example were statics don’t really tell the story. This is nothing more than Seth trying to pad Mason’s numbers. Nothing against Mason he’s giving everything he has. This is a shitty coaching job by Seth 

[MeanGreenZen]

Think Seth kept Fine in so our offensive statistics keep looking good to his potential P5 mistresses.

[oldguystudent]

69-31 final

[MeanGreen01]

I think Littrell and GH are just trying to keep their offensive production numbers up, making them look good statistically.  All while putting your starters at risk and only producing against FAU’s 3rd team! Horrible team and coaching effort!

Couldn’t agree more, this is exactly what it was about.

[El Paso Eagle]

Will the post-game interviewer have the balls to ask Seth why he kept Fine in?

If not, hopefully the student newspaper will like Brune.. 

[MeanGreen01]

That’s what I want to hear.  And if the coaches “had a good week of preparation” or did they all take vacation this week!

Oh yea, "Coach Speak" time with Seth...

[keith]

I'm not quite that cynical.  Game reps are invaluable to a true sophomore QB.  Injury risk?  Sure, but that can happen on any play in any game.

[Ken14]

We will see the old team next week, gotta believe......I have been with them too long.................lets go bowling.....

 

[El Paso Eagle]

I still have all of the confidence that we will go Bowling. Today is just one of those "shit happens" days, however today, IMO, shows that the "numbers" are important enough to Seth to risk our best QB.

[oldguystudent]

It coulda been worse:

Fine has proved he has developed to an impressive level.. he does not need game reps.. Putting in Quinn would have been good for Quinn because it would have changed the voice in the “huddle” and it would have provided him some playing time if needed.. 

Also, Fine took a beating vs UTSA, giving him half the game off would have been nice
