Hate Week 2023

[AppinVA]

I’m okay with it. We have the lead and will get the ball to start the second half. I’m more surprised they didn’t call their timeouts to force a punt.

[ApexASU]

What the crap? Take 3 timeouts to the half?

3 time outs, 38 seconds and Clark just calls it quits for the half. Why???!

[bigdaddyg]

We ALL knew what we would do on the last possession. We have dudes who could burn them for 20-30 yards but instead we get another back limping.

[CoachRob]

Dale is simply indefensible on third and long. It’s embarrassing. I would almost always prefer 3rd and medium or short.

It's not Dale, it's called no pass rushers plus either young or fcs talent in the secondary.

[yosef69]

Three timeouts and plenty of time… sad.

[proasu89]

I'm sorry but Clark is Asleep!!!!!!!!!! I mean we got this in the bag right? That was like giving away a free extra possession on the road.

F###. Should have just took a knee. Instead, Marshall gets banged up on a give up play. Sandpaper my a$$.

You never take all three timeouts to half with the ball… in a shootout rivalry game.

[Yosefus]

Why not try to get points with three TOS?

We have never been a good 2 minute drill team. Ever. No need to start trying to push it up the field with 40 seconds I guess.
We had better score on the opening drive. Trading scores and all it will take is a turnover for either team to turn the tide quickly.
I don't see a lot of adjustments to make other than we need to blitz on 3rd downs Vantrese hasn't been rushed or hurried yet.

[appfanjj]

Bad ending to the first half. Knew we wouldn’t try to take advantage of the time outs.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
frustrating!

[diehardapp18]

Better come out and get some points after refusing to work with 40 seconds and three timeouts.

[proasu89]

We’ll throw it deep the first play out of the half

[AppStateNews]

Has Everitt been starting?

He has not. He started through JMU and then we switched up for Ga State to Helms at center.

Last week he and Helms we're switching off...

If we do they best freaking catch it for a TD!

And if we did take a shot with 3 timeouts and it's picked, everyone complaining about not taking a shot would be complaining about taking a shot...

If that run went for 10+, we take the shot because it's a more manageable distance. It's the right call to not take the shot after only 5.

[CoachRob]

I know everyone is screaming to blitz. But sometimes, you want to save your best blitz packages for 2nd half. If a defense gets too blitz happy too early, it makes it easy for the opposing offense to adjust and start picking apart the 1 on 1 situations that are available with blitzes.

I agree EXCEPT if we had passed instead of run we would have a higher likelihood of getting a chunk of yards and an incomplete would stop the clock, giving us more time to keep trying down field. But we all knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as we got the ball with 40 seconds left.

[Yosefus]

So the pretty sideline reporter is still a student at GSU. She's doing a pretty good job. One sided of course but she handles herself very well and sounds like she knows what she is talking about.

[pop5app]

Their production is better than ours and the sideline reporter is world class!

Instantly turned ugly

Right. Running the play that has us over 150 yards and averaging more than 15 yards a carry (on that specific play) has a less chance of getting 10+ than throwing when we're averaging about 8 per completion.....
