Preacher Rhule Really Say This?
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
They're 1-0 and beat a team that did well last year. They're as deserving as anyone this early in the season. It'll all shake out.
top 10?
and people here thought we were overreacting on the board
I didn't see one take here hotter than that on Saturday
It DID bother me that Rhule defended his decision to go for the TD at the end of the first half, with what, 11 seconds left?
For me that was as big a WTF moment as the onside kick heard all over Ireland. I just don't get it or agree with either decision.

They have maybe 2 Heisman candidates if they keep putting up the numbers they are. Sanders and Hunter.
I didn’t see that as high risk - if it wasn’t there right away you throw to the stands - but it was there with the TE. Our senior QB should have known better.
If people believe TCUs preseason ranking you have to think CU deserves to be ranked near 10.
I was told those kids are HBCU players who, along with their coach, would struggle at the P5 level
now they're leading a top 10 team?
something doesn't add up
I hope this isn't a hedge from someone who's already chalking up an L this week
seems my decision to tune Preacher Rhule out during the week is already paying dividends
I expect to play well on Saturday.
This is my fear too. Namely, that Rhule is building up CU in order to soften the blow of another loss. Still, I think this is a stretch, since Rhule is a fierce competitor and I am sure he thinks we have a good chance of knocking these guys off. In fact, another possible interpretation is that he feels good about our chances of winning and wants to build up CU in order to make our win, if it happens, all the more noteworthy.
I wouldn't put CU that high but won't kill anyone who does either. I don't get people who think TCU sucks...they don't. They had chances to win..their well coached..they'll be fine.
Exactly. My problem with the play other than who he threw it to was how many bodies were in the area. IF Sims makes a better decision there it’s a moot point BUT the spacing of the receivers made it easy for that DB to peel back and make the pick.
it was an elementary high/low concept with 2 receivers - one at the back of the end zone, one in the front
sims either predetermined his read or just didn't see the defender
please don't act like it was any different than it was
6th graders execute that same concept every week of the football season
What coach in his right mind wouldn't take a shot in the endzone with 11 seconds left?
yes
the people who want to kick a FG on 3rd down with plenty of time don't know football
didn't work out, but was the right decision and a good play call - Boerk was wide open
There were 3 receivers in that side of the endzone. The guy who made the int peeled off a receiver near the goal pylon didn’t he? I think you’re right that Sims should have gone to Boerkircher.
The number one concern I have going forward is Sims’ field vision and decision making. That’s over every other weakness we have including coaching. We had multiple instances where criticized play calls were there if Sims had executed.
An old Barry Switzer mind game was to build up your opponent in the early part of the week. Give them confidence from their opponent.
Then late in the week state your opponent is good but his Sooners were better.
Really like to mess with their minds.

one could also say this is reason for optimism moving forwardThe number one concern I have going forward is Sims’ field vision and decision making. That’s over every other weakness we have including coaching. We had multiple instances where criticized play calls were there if Sims had executed.
It was that third db in the area that made the int. IF he goes to Boerk that db probably isn’t able to react.
Sims HAS to take care of the ball. Then this week it’s a matter of whether or not our defense can slow down Sanders.
Sims made an incredibly bad decision and then the throw wasn't very good.
If you're gonna throw that route, it needs to be on the back pylon where only your receiver has the chance to make a play.
Sims is gonna be what holds the offense back. That tiger isn't changing his stripes this late in his career.

I didn’t have an issue going for it with 11 seconds left. What you can’t do is turn it over in that situation. We had an open receiver (#87) right over the goal line and he didn’t see him.
TCU is nowhere near the same team or anywhere near as good as they were last year as they lost a TON to graduation and Portal.
Trying to justify his 0-1 and probable 0-2 start. He knows a good coach would start 4-0 with this schedule.
Yep. With our luck we would go into OT and lose for the millionth time since 2013.
0-2? We will be lucky to win 4 games this year. We are that bad. i do not see any improvement from Mickey Joseph coaching last year. Actually, I think the coaching is worse and Rule makes 9 million a year??? Almost every College Football team I watched over the weekend on TV was better than Nebraska. We are in trouble!!!
