I feel like Bloesch lost focus when he became the playcaller. We need the OC to be more of a qb coach type.’ 
 

At the end of the day, I think we have to blame the hiring of Matt Passwaters.

Haven't done a good job with the staff hirings in years.

Austin Aune ain’t it either. Ooof this is going to be a long season. I say fire Littrell and hire Graham Harrell.

It has to be a coach that has been a successful head coach. BB would be an example. Graham ain’t it.

At this point let Seth call plays the rest of the year and Bloesch focus on the o line

Pretty sure a decent high school team could beat us right now.

Agree, no more coaches who have not been Head coaches

If you guys remember, Graham Harrell’s offense was fantastic to start games but could not finish the important games.

I miss having partially good offenses. I think Harrell's biggest benefits(here) are recruiting and QB/offensive coaching. I think he could still be very valuable to us, but I'm not necessarily gung ho to have him back, particularly risking our HC position on him.

He's also getting a lot of the same criticism at USC. They rack up yards but struggle getting it into the end zone.

That actually sounds wonderful about now.  Where do we sign up?

For those who were at or saw the Portland game is this very different?

UAB is FBS. Portland St was/is FCS. That's about it.

This reminds me of the Troy NO Bowl game where they just physically bullied us and treated us like little kids. 

[meangreenacct]

That was dirty play by their QB. Could have really hurt him.

[GrandGreen]

Not that it matter, but why would any coach refuse a penalty just to hold a team to a field goal, when they would have to go over 20 yards to score?

How is that not a personal foul? It's much worse than what our player did to theirs out of bounds.

Have you seen how they’ve torched us on big plays?

Semantics, the fact is they had to restart their program from 0.  Seth is soon to be 1-3 against them sent they restarted.

Maybe we should restart our program.

You’re not really suggesting we defend a 3rd and long are you?

Yep, it’s definitely a “offensive PI on the QB that should have been a personal foul” kind of game. 😳

[BigWillie]

How many times can we run the same off tackle play? I get the QB play is not great, but the play calling is once again....horrible.

Well, to his credit, McCarney was flying with the Goose most of the time.

That was the last time I bothered to go to an "away" game. Honestly, the game against Northwestern is likely the only game I'll go to this year. It's not worth paying to watch this garbage. 

[Monkeypox]

Yeah, I am declining anything short of 3rd and 99.

A very sad night for the University.

[MeanGreenWithEnvy]

UAB is putting on a clinic on how to play undisciplined football and win. I hope our usual undisciplined suspects are paying attention.
