This season was really lost when we lost Oscar and Cottrell went down. Give credit to Huggs for reinventing the team with just Culver. Culver never looked the same after his illness and we needed bigs to pack in the zone and open up the outside shots.
Deuce is the real deal but needs to...
We have some great additions to our OL and expect Leddie to be back next year. To NB it is about winning games and not to look exciting. It was painful to watch our offense the last two years and I expect more of the same.
Question who had the more exciting offense, Neil or Bill Stewart.
Oscar played much worse than he did last year. I believe that his natural skills outshine his work ethic. Foul trouble and his inability to finish when under the basket were his big drawbacks. It is still a big loss as we have nobody who can really backup Culver.
Without Oscar, Culver will...
Nobody wants to sit the bench. He has been beaten out for 2 years and NB would be smart to get a young guy in at backup to get experience QB. next year. I hope Kendall can find a place to shine in his second Senior year.
I skipped year one as I was comparing year 2 and 3 under different coaches. Looking at year 1 DH started with a heisman hopeful QB, Geno, Tavon, and Steadman. Very good year. In year 2, he had a team that was ranked as high as #5 and tanked throughout the year. Recruiting went down and...
In Football, it is often a missed FG, dropped pass or a fumble. What impressed me is that at full strength, we were the better team. We can play with anybody, and lose to anybody when we cant make a damn FT.
Remember our last HC posted 4 conference wins in his second year. 2 conference wins in his third year. While DH put up impressive offensive numbers, his Defenses could not stop anyone. We had a steady decline from year one through 3. DH mined the transfer pool well, but did not develop...
It is hard to play defense when you are afraid of fouls. We were called for a few no touch fouls while Culver and Oscar get hacked at will. Take away the fouls and WVU beats the Zags. McNeil shoots 50% WVU beats the Zags. Culver makes his foul shots at the end of the game, WVU wins...
I'll be happy to see Patterson go. TCU has always been a bunch of bullies. I'll never forget how they ended Clint Trickett's career and potentially Holgerson's best season.
The 4th and goal were the type of decision I would expect of Dana. Go for the TD on a pass. I would prefer a zone read with Leddie up the middle or better have Deoge keep it. B12 refs have forgot about pass interference this year and I did not like the option to pass. Given the time left in...
HCNB showed a bit of Dana also. Instead of Leddie up the middle, two throws to the end zone on 4th and 1. On the other hand, take away a dropped pass or a obvious penalty and the game goes the other way.
Doege is efficient in this offense. Not sure how he would be if we threw downfield...
