Me neither. And admitting they are right now is weak as hell

Okay, can we say they were better coached and focused?

They beat us by every conceivable measure. They beat us on the scoreboard and in the stat column.

Agree on the timeout, BUT, don't think we win the game with 12 more seconds. Maybe could have had 1 more play, but they were on a position to defend the goal line very well.
It was ours to lose with 1:30 to go, and the best defense in the conference got beat by the best offense in the conference.

They won but to flatly say they are a better team is selling our guys awfully short - we were ahead with less than 2 minutes to go and had them in a 4th down - they made a great play, it happens

The better team made the plays when needed. It's no crime to admit they are better.

Doesn't that make them the better team? At least for today. Our guys played a good game overall, fought hard and kept their composure when behind, but in the end Troy made the plays it took to win, we did not.
The better team doesn't always win, but there wasn't anything I considered to be a fluke for Troy, or anything non-game related that helped them win. They made a big play when they had to, we didn't. I don't think it's disrespectful to our team by saying that

Once again our lack of a championship game rears its ugly head. Conference championship shouldn't be decided like this. Was also completely baffled why we didn't call a freaking timeout but then again don't let them run down our throats late and don't let their QB scamper 51 yards

I had actually come to terms with a loss, tonight Troy was a better team, until not calling that timeout.

A mistake like that, in what was essentially a conference championship game cannot be nonchalantly brushed off.

It is completely inexcusable. Inarguably unacceptable. And debatably symptomatic.

Satterfield should be benched for the first half of Monroe.

Agree that yes they won today but we made big plays down the stretch to retake the lead - Yes, they were a hair better today on their home turf just as we were last year in Boone - doesn't mean they would win 8 out of 10 ---

Well actually not being honest is what is weak.
If not the scoreboard what makes you the better team. In what area did you see that we were better?

I watch line play. They killed us.

It's frustrating and I have yet to see any improvement. Let's hope we see some growth from him in this regard.

In his defense, as if he needed one, he managed the clock extremely well in the last couple minutes of the Ohio game (Camelia Bowl) last year. Am I wrong?

Was Clemson the better team? Michigan? Washington? You win you are the better team. I said no pressure on this QB would beat us and I didn't see Woody do anything different.

The teams are pretty even, but last night we made too many mistakes. So yes last night they were better, but despite all of mistakes we still had a chance to make a 4th down stop to end the game. Then we had a chance after to get in position to score but cost ourselves with poor clock management.

So I'd say we may have more talent considering we were even in position to win after all of that, but they out played us in this game by not making so many boneheaded mistakes.

Let's not forget their second half offense was mostly one long run and one long pass.

Satt has botched nearly every 2 minute drill in his time at App. He did it earlier this year at UT and again yesterday.

He's been a very good coach but he deserves alot of criticism for this. It's inexcusable to lose 15 seconds in that situation.

Yosef10 · Unread post by **Yosef10** » Sun Nov 13, 2016 8:40 am

Yeah 2 minute drills obviously aren't Satts specialty yet. On the bright side he is still very early in his HC career and I'm sure he'll improve and the 2 experiences this year will probably help in the long run. Another thing I wanted to see was to stop switching out Jalin and Marcus. It was obvious to me Jalin had the hot hand and Marcus unfortunately just wasn't getting it done at times. But you live and you learn. Hopefully we don't let Troy beat us next week too.

I think a key point I've yet to see anywhere is something someone mentioned earlier in the week which I was fearful of happening . . . And that was another slow start. In a few cases, against better competition, that meant digging out of decent sized holes, and against some teams, it was lackluster play and not putting the opponent away as early as we prob should have. Sunday morning frustration, sure, being picky, yes, but it's still a pattern and something that The coaches can work on as we continue to get better as a program.

True, they were one dropped pass away from beating us last year.

And they were one long completion in the final 2 minutes from losing at home. The executed, we didn't but I hardly think that makes them "just better". They played better and wanted it more, but I didn't come away from that game thinking they were better. I came away thinking that we just gave them a title with our mistakes.

As it has been mentioned before, what makes this pill that much more hard to swallow is the fact that those key mistakes and penalties were made by seniors. Anyway, time to move on and forward.
