Pathetic

[Cr1028]

Our conditioning is pathetic. Our 4th down play calling makes me want to puke. Our defense outside of the linebackers, Petrilli’s duo of Richards and Leota, and possibly Gaddie is pathetic. Some on here are going to say the usual that it was Aune’s fault and I agree he made a few bad passes but he also threw a ball so well he completed a pass to a receiver that wasn’t even looking. Littrell needs to rip the playcall sheet and headset away from that neanderthal Bloesch if he wants to keep his job, otherwise, just quit now like your offensive and defensive lines did. I was also hoping Faulkner would get ejected for targeting but I wasn’t that lucky.

Bloesh’s offense when it needs a yard every stinking time.

I thought Aune had a mostly good game. That defense was pathetic. Conditioning, angles, slow to react, I don't know but they made the QB look like Cam Newton.

Phil Bennett and his players are invited to my family Thanksgiving football game to see what a real defense looks like!

100% with you guys. That was atrocious and full of quit. Lack of effort, it is maddening. I’d rather have the undersized backups in if they can go full speed until the whistle. Trieb and Brown look gasses 3 plays into the game, rotate them out if they can’t perform.

You can’t give 60 points up to anyone. Terrible

Yeah there's clearly no depth on that D-Line but to be fair, they're on the field far too much. We run too fast of a tempo on offense for how poor our depth is. Look at the drive breakdowns on ESPN. We ran a 12 play drive in 3:27. UNLV ran a 17 play drive in 8:07 right after. In the 3rd quarter, they ran 8 plays in 4:01, then us 9 plays in 2:43, back to them 15 plays in 6:43, followed by us going 9 plays in 2:18. Time of possession was 38:42 to 21:18 in their favor but we all knew it would be skewed from watching the game.

We moved the ball well at times but our defense just got shredded to the point it really didn't matter what the offense did - UNLV was going to score nearly ever drive. After the first quarter, they punted twice. They gave their defense time to recover with long drives. Our offense really is built to control the clock but coach won't stray from what he knows, I guess. I feel like this team is better than a 30 point loss to UNLV. They just need to use the offense to help the defense.

I think I predicted 4-5 wins this year, I think my prediction might be too optimistic.

You are absolutely right.

[greenminer]

We run a 50/50 offense!

50% unstoppable
50% stopped in the RZ

[Pellom]

The front seven is so bad - we get zero pass rush. 
 

So to mitigate that we sit back in a zone and try to bend but not break. 
 

We’ve seen how well that’s gone.

Not too optimistic because CUSA is the worst conference in football. CUSA probably wouldn't have a team win the FCS championship.

When you don’t have any rotations on defense, it is impossible to hold up. Look how we have performed in 2nd halfs. Out of gas.
