Throwback Thursday: Zach Smith still making our opponents receivers look good

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Their tackles should be playing linebacker. They hold on to the jerseys of their opponent better than our linebackers do.

 

[57stratdawg]

Another good stand by the defense.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Tulsa looks better when they pass and we look better when we run

 

[Hump4Hoops]

A game of sacks and penalties for both teams.

 

[FlotownDawg]

It’s nearly halftime and we have more rushing yards than passing yards. Whoever would’ve thought that?

 

[Apoplectic_Objurgator]

Who is timbs?

 

[The Usual Suspect]

First, these refs suck. Second, only us and Vandy could possibly make this game this close. Cut out the mouthing and stupid penalties and do something.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

This weather looks like a worse Belk Bowl. God bless all who went.

 

[Seinfeld]

Cost us an extra 40 yards, and then he flat gave up after the receiver got past him. Weak

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Tulu's having a day.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Tulu has been a big bright spot.

 

[Seinfeld]

Why has Tulu not played more this season? Why?

 

[sandwolf.sixpack]

Did Tulu step out? Why'd they blow that return dead?

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

If we keep playing like this my second half will be sponsored by Remy Martin

 

[FlotownDawg]

Saw where Jace Christmann kicked our extra point. What happened to Ruiz? Does he have Covid? Anyone know?

 

[Seinfeld]

Who is Pimibar? At least I think that was his name?

 

[The Usual Suspect]

I have not heard anything but maybe they let him kick a PAT because he is a senior and from TX. IDK.

This offense can be so frustrating to watch in drop 8. I’ll see plays that would get a 10 yard gain or more but then we run something else. It’s like don’t audible to what the defense lines up. No lb on short side one DE one DB on that side about 8 yards off. Instead of sweep to that side or a quick pass we run a 10 yard crossing pattern right into the coverage. Makes no sense

 

[maroonmadman]

Other than the first drive our offense has been fugly. Defense keeping us in the game.

 

[Seinfeld]

129 yards of air raid in the 1st half. Fantastic

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Tulu needs to be at slot and get a jet sweep

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

The draw is the most predictable run in this offense. Doesn’t he know any other run plays? His draw is as predictable as Mullen’s qb draw play

 

[Seinfeld]

Yep, and this is beating a dead horse, but both Marks and Johnson get about 3-4 yards less on every single play than it feels like the should. There’s around a 0.5% chance of them making anyone miss

I hate the draw play on 3rd and long more than any other play in football. I have never witnessed it succeed.

 

[FlotownDawg]

That’s a big part of Leach’s offense. The running back being able to get 7-8 yards a pop on those runs like they should. It seems our RB’s only get 3-4 on average. They either don’t hit the hole or dance around too much and don’t get upfield.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

It looks like giving up. They think it’s going to catch defense off guard but when you have done it on third and long a bunch in the same game and they are dropping 8 they are going to stop you short every time.

 

[Apoplectic_Objurgator]

I’m not a very smart man but why are they not running it more than throwing it In these conditions

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I hate the draw play on 3rd and long more than any other play in football. I have never witnessed it succeed.

It's not supposed to get you a first down. It's supposed to get you some yardage so you put the opponent in worse field position when you punt.

But it is a surrender play.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Jones missed his blocking assignment on that one. He's been a liability today.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Much better mix of plays

 

[Seinfeld]

Finally! A nice cut by one of our RBs to make a guy miss. Not lying at all... I think that’s the first one I’ve seen all season

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Dang, Preston got owned there

 

[Seinfeld]

Good lord Preston is having an awful game

 

[FlotownDawg]

What a waste of good field position.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Let Tulu squib kick a kickoff and he's guaranteed to be special teams player of the week

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Not sure why we didn’t run third and one and then pass 4 and 1

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Leach needs to apologize to griffin for wasting his amazing kick off returns

 

[Seinfeld]

What a 17ing awful 4th down playcall. Hand the ball off into an all out blitz from the middle. You’ve got to to give your QB some options there

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Defense getting soft on coverage
