Yeah but who follows Temple? How did it the ATL topic work up there amongst the fan base regarding a QB? We’re they rotating guys left and right like us?
Until they found their guy, yes. It seems to have drove their fans crazy.

BS. Did you watch the players interviews? They all said it was a lay week at practice, they overlooked Citadel, and the stupid penalties killed us. They called out their teammates basically.

You think the head coach is say that?

Well, the last one maybe, but not now.

I didn’t like the keep it in the locker room answer from Collins.

No, he shouldn’t call out individuals or name people. He should however give the public and fans a sense of what he think went wrong. I recognize that can be a razor thin line to navigate in college sports. I just think he doesn’t have the cred as a first year coach along with producing a program historic öööö fest to leave it at that.

We needed to hear more than -“Nanny nanny boo-boo. I know something you don’t know.”

Wow he was pissed off. I have never seen him act the way he did during the presser. Did he seem a little out of charter to you or was it just me?
He had that deer-in-the-headlights look to me. If he was pissed off, he was pissed off at himself.

...it's just that we haven't had a QB emerge as the clear leader yet so they've all been getting reps.
From my observations of the first three games, I don't know that this is the case. It's quite obvious the offense moves the ball much more effectively, scores remarkably more often, and plays more crisp with T. Oliver in at QB as opposed to Lucas. Regardless, Collins needs to pick one. This is not spring practice anymore.

Who knows? Perhaps this lost will end of being a blessing for the rest of the season

I guarantee Collins does not want to rotate QBs.

Unfortunately one of our QBs can run well and can't pass. The other allegedly passes well in practice but doesn't seem to run well. The other was hurt.

what are you gonna do
I’m going to evaluate my personnel and play the one that might accidentally win the fricking game.

I don’t understand why this so hard to comprehend
The part we don't understand is that it seems like Oliver is moving the team a lot better, by and large, than Lucas is.

What's really *really* hard to comprehend, is that 25% of the season is already behind us. I thought by this point we'd have more grounds for optimism than we seem to have.

I'm probably mistaken here, as my mind has already erased much of the game for self-preservation, but wasn't Oliver in for the first two snaps of OT (and then we switched to LJ on the 3rd and long)? Still didn't like going away from Oliver on 3rd, but I believe he was given the reigns to begin OT.
Correct. Oliver ran the ball on 1st and 2nd down and LJ came in for 3rd and long, just as you said.

  • 1st & Goal at CIT 25
    (OT) Tobias Oliver run for 1 yd to the Citad 24

  • 2nd & Goal at CIT 24
    (OT) Jordan Mason run for 1 yd to the Citad 23

  • 3rd & Goal at CIT 23
    (OT) Lucas Johnson sacked by Joseph Randolph II for a loss of 5 yards to the Citad 28

Not trying to be ugly, but based upon what?

Going to a new offensive and defensive system. Only 5 offensive starters returned and 4 defensive starters returned off a team that went 7-6. (And one of those offensive starters was Connor Hansen who was injured in the spring and played his first snaps on Monday of this week in practice).

Throw in the injuries on the O Line especially and I'm not seeing why so many people were optimistic for a fast start.

Whoever starts, needs to have the offense built around his skill set. Not force them to do something they can’t.

I guess because I drank the Juice.

And I like our players a lot more than the 'cupboard is bare' contingent around here.
I think we'll be fine down the road. But 8 returning starters for the 1st 3 games in a new system is pretty brutal.

You live and breathe football every day of the year for only 12 shots to play. Plus, they had a chance to play and dominate the option one last time and put it to bed once and for all. To not be prepared for that day is really poor.

Oh cool. Were you around two weeks ago when everyone on this board said they didn't want to see TO start another game at qb?

Isn’t this what people used to criticize CPJ for? Now you are criticizing CGC for the opposite?
