I know Clark as an OL guy wants to hold on to the "run the ball, control the clock" montra that we have had lots of success with in recent years, but with Noel hurt and an average OL (at best), best chance is to get Joey in rhythm and get the ball to the playmakers on the edges like Horn & Robinson. Use that to loosen up the box to allow us to run as well. With a young, yet weak defense, only chance he has is to outscore teams in the air. I know this puts more pressure on defense with more possessions, but there isn't enough talent/playmakers there to consistently get stops. Have em get the 3-4 stops a game and try to outscore everyone.

I'm not convinced the talent is there in enough positions and the only way I can see he can make the needed adjustments to win 3 of the last 4.
Joey was not in Rhythm today
2nd half he was.

Looking at stats on the season:

Team Statistical Rankings

Rushing yards = 178.6 Rank (40th)
Passing yards - 280.4. Rank (29th)
Overall FBS Rank (18th)

Rushing Def. = 203.1 yards Rank (127th)
Passing Def = 218.4 yards Rank (54th)
Overall FBS Rank. (115th)


Rushing is without Noel basically the last 3 games, he was leading FBS until the Coastal injury. SO we are using a true freshman running back. A top 20 offense is pretty damn good, even though I have question a few play calls at times, and we have untimely drops or turnovers.

Defensive line has to get better -- that's the part of recruiting where we need help - we have no DJ or Brian Brown on staff to sign guys. Passing defense isn't as bad as I thought, it's just in conference the big plays are just magnified.

Didn't we lose a couple of big interior players due to injuries? You simply can't be effective against the run at this level with 255 lb defensive linemen especially in a 3-4.

Per the post game show last night, we were in a 3-3-5 last night adding a 5th secondary back in place of the weak side linebacker
That scheme change makes ir even harder to stop the run and we certainly were not filling gaps at the second level last night.

I would have thought we would have focused on stopping Gore and making them beat us with the pass. But, apparently we schemed in the other direction.
DB’s did have 10 passes defended last night, but that’s about the only thing that went right other than the strip sack.

We are also absolutely losing the field position battle in the punting game. Anytime we kick towards the right sidelin, we shank it out of bounds and we struggle to place balls inside rhe 20 that should be there.
On the other side we still only have one Lu T return this year and we missed on another fair catch.
Missed some blocks on kickoff reruns as well and only returned a line drive to the goal line to the 18 yard line.

Hard to see us as 18th overall, when we are 40th and 29th in each.
Every opponent's main back will be on the Heisman Watch List after playing us.

Defensive lineman out of High School are almost always projects, portal is the only answer for a quick fix.

Appears that way. The 6'1" 260 lb guys get bulled over by the 6'5" 290 lb linemen. We are getting killed by RPO action. Teams space out the 3 receivers and then use the RPO. We are missing assignments all over the field. The hope is that the other team tries a dumb play instead of doing what is killing us.

We lost both offensive tackles if I'm not mistaken.

The offense finally stepped up. Yes, the players won the game. That's what they were supposed to do when coaches put them in position to do so. I still think the Defensive backfield is better than last year but they're finding new ways to frustrate me. The last two games, they've defended the big pass play much better but now we're getting gashed on rushing. I hope we can figure out a way to balance those.

Marshall is beatable, but we need better play from the DBs. 4th quarter was encouraging but I think that's when our conditioning advantage took over. we need 4 quarters out of everyone. If we get that, we can win some more games.

I have to do some extra prayers today because of the language I was spewing during the first 3 quarters. Ugly win but I'll take it!

GO APPS!

Yes and we’ll lose three interior lineman next year.

The lack or recruiting and development at the Oline is surprising given the circumstances.

I'm not talking about graduation. I'm talking about during the game yesterday. The guys playing last night were the backups.

Lack of development at the OL has been a problem for a while. We have more depth now than we have in years. Hopefully that continues. Picking up 5 from the portal certainly helped.

I believe two of the three you mentioned play each other this coming Saturday. Therefore, that statistic will improve to TWO COMBINED FBS wins. See, it's getting better already. LOL
