I'm not sure Sims even cares about being on the field. The way he plays at times and watching him walking around the sideline like he didn't care all that much about anything going on around him.

Gibson looked like the jv kid being thrown in after the varsity starter (and probably his varsity backup) got knocked out. He's clearly (very) limited in arm strength and control. I have no desire to watch that again.

How do you think he managed to get the passing numbers he got at Akron? Probably not holding on too long for receivers to get separation or running for his life, huh? This is on the OL, as it has been the past 4 years and will be the next 5 games.

Akron?
So what? Don’t think we want to hang our hats on his stats at Akron
Plus we would probably lose to Akron
 
He coached scared just like how Gibson played qb. He was at Bama when Saban went to Tua, but couldn't make the same decision. It might be true that neither of the other two QBs could have won that game, but it was 100% apparent to everyone that Gibson wasnt going to. Gibson ran out of bounds without even trying to win on that last play, but Key had already done the same thing back in the 3rd quarter.

Our OL would to Akron's DL....right ? Hi stats at Akron was against similar competition to what Akron had. His passing yardage was legit.

If Gibson sees the field again then Key needs to be fired on the spot
 
A couple of years ago my son, a high school OC, was down to his fifth string QB. The 5th string, JV player, was better prepared to run the offense than our backup last night.

I also continue to question our training staff during a game. Sims gets critiqued as soft because he gets injured but stays on the sidelines, walks for the most part without any indication of a limp, takes on the field pictures with Cav players after the game, etc. If your starting QB has been injured or reinjured during the game - what TV thought was an ankle problem - getting him off the ankle and icing seems a no brainer. Saying he is done for the game but no ice, crutches, boot or getting off the injured leg does lead to questioning.

The camera guy certainly thought it was interesting enough to focus on it repeatedly - hey, here's Sims walking around with no problems on the sideline while his backup who has no idea what to do is getting killed.

Hate to say it but this loss was the Waterloo of an already unpromising year. At home, under the lights, Thursday night, national spotlight, winnable game, öööö the bed. Not good.

I agree. Truth hurts. I have said many times. If a coach cannot succeed at a singular level, how is he/she expected to succeed at a high level? I think fan were so desperate to cling on to anything, they grabbed him. Face it.. Pitt played the worse game of the year... we won because Pitt dropped INTs. As for Duke, we played our best game of the year, I think. We compete against Duke and the refs and won. UVA, we came out flat and the O was just off.. We are not good enough of a team to have an off night/day and expect to win.
 
I was all on board the last couple of weeks with Key doing what he needed to do to keep his name in conversation for the permanent gig, but after last night, that shine wore off real fast. I get a lot of things are out of his control: Sims getting hurt, Long being a bad OC, etc. I do, however, judge him on the quality of overall play and how prepared we are. The O-line got plain beat and we just didn’t look like we had a killer instinct out there on offense at all. It’s compounded that we were even coming off a bye with more time to prepare. That falls back on him.

I really want him to win this job, but what happened yesterday ain’t gonna get it done. Losing like that to u(sic)ga isn’t great, but it’s at least understandable. Doing so against an absolutely dreadful UVA team isn’t.
