The Mean Green should opt out of this season like Houston players last season.  The whole team.  Everyone take a redshirt.  

No, don't redshirt anyone.  Some of these guys need to graduate, then just move along to their respective careers.

These are Bean’s career passing stats against FBS opponents:

26/45 (57.8%) for 205 yards (4.56 yards/attempt) and 4 TDs/4 INTs. 

The turnovers aren’t great but also the yards/attempt number is pretty paltry. And Saturday it was even lower at 3.22 yards/attempt, granted he only threw 9 passes.

Do you think he's checking down?  Or are the underneath throws his primary reads?
Because that would determine majority of the blame for those low numbers.

I would need to go through and watch to say confidently, but from memory it is a combination. I don’t think he has a lot of confidence in his arm strength (against FBS DBs), and I don’t think the coaches do either.

With Bean even more so than Aune, the first read is very frequently Jaelon Darden, often in the flats. And when it isn’t, he seems to be happy to check down. Which, if that’s gonna be the case, I think we have to run Bean more when he’s in or the predictability is just too high.

Aune definitely looked more confident, but still not at a level of efficiency that we need to be successful. I say roll with him and use Bean for some run/pass option packages.

 

Agree!  Bean has speed - there's no doubt there.  But, he can't seem to handle the pressure nearly as well as Aune.

Aune isn't slow.  I think Bean's biggest issue is just getting the game to slow down for him and being comfortable.

      Is it too early to start ?

      We play Washington State at DATCU (Sat) September 13. The time hasn’t been determined yet. Is it too early to starts push to “sell out”. That game ? It’s almost 2 weeks after Labor Day. It will still be warm/hot. Would people commit to buy tickets and be present at that game ? Could we get in front of family re-unions and weddings and birthday parties if we started this early ? Could we ? I’d love to replace Houston as the most attended game at DATCU. Could we ?

      Exactly. It all starts at the top. And it's not an obsessive thing with wanting to see attendance. Attendance does a lot of things outside of creating an environment that player want to play in and coaches want to coach in. It creates more monies for other things, helps recruiting, helps conference movement, helps, getting chosen to be on TV more often if you have an awesome environment, etc etc. Attendance does several very positive things. It's imperative that it gets fixed. Frankly, if I am Ross, I am questioning this straight to the face of the athletic director. It's obviously talked about inside the lockerroom when players are bringing it up and pointing it out during post games press conferences. It's an issue. And our AD is just sitting on hands. Maybe he has found his WVU and is coasting like Wren did. At least we aren't hearing, "Tony Mitchell with the dunk!" Get it fixed.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      Hey dumb-dumb. FAU and UAB both made the NCAA tournament last year. Good win over Kansas; can't wait to beat you in this year's tourney.

      To show you how much Moseley cares.....I've noticed he leaves the basketball games EARLY. About three minutes left in the game, he'll get up...and head up the tunnel. At 6' 7".....he's hard to miss. Very little interaction with the fans. Is he still doing that thing....of answering a question or two a month on X? Laughable. Heck when we were in the pissant Sun Belt.....Wright Waters would answer a dozen or so fan questions....every month.
