Kanye Roberts?

Brian Haines deserves to be fired over his RB development alone.

It does make me wonder if Ponce will be back. App’s offense was predicated on the run, and if you’re down 17-0 in the first quarter of every game, you kind of can’t run 35 times.

Ponce and Joey were not the issue here. They were forced to press to constantly make up for deficits, and I will die on that hill.

I will spell this out again:
Yes, our defense was bad (especially the first half of the year in giving up early scores). But, our offense never responded and rarely executed coming out of the locker room. And, often quickly handing the ball back over to the opposing offense. We played the wrong type of complimentary football.


Ten FBS Games
Opening two possessions of the first half X 10 = 20 Possessions
Clemson Punt/Punt
ECU Punt/Pick 6
South Alabama Punt/Punt
Marshall Punt/FG
Louisiana Punt/Punt
GaSt Missed FG/Punt
ODU TD/Turnover on Downs
Coastal Fumble/Interception
JMU Punt/Punt
GaSt Int/Punt

1 TD/1FG (10 points in 20 possessions) 1 Missed FG, 1 Turnover on Downs, 3 Interceptions (including a Pick 6), 1 Fumble, 12 punts. We scored on 1 (O N E) opening possession all season.

Then, after going to the locker room and making adjustments:

Opening two possessions of the second half X 10 = 20 Possessions
Clemson TD/Punt
ECU Punt/Punt
South Alabama Turnover on Downs/Punt
Marshall Punt/INT
Louisiana FG/Fumble
GaSt Punt/TD
ODU INT/TD
Coastal Punt/Interception
JMU Turnover on Downs/Punt
GaSt Int/TD

4 Touchdowns, 1 Field Goal (31 points in 20 possessions) 2 Turnover on Downs, 4 INT's, 1 Fumble, 8 Punts

Total 40 Possessions--41 points scored (bad) on 7 possessions, 12 Turnovers/Turnover on Downs, 20 punts, and a Missed FG

That hill is about as slippery as Miller Hill in a November snow storm.

You're citing the Clemson game? Where the defense gave up 52 points in the first half, as an example of the offense failing?

Both sides failed in the Clemson game. The offense opened up with 5 straight punts. That’s a failure as much as the defense giving up 5 straight TD’s.
