Just watched the replay of the game. The first half was utter garbage and Doege missed some basic throws, particularly the first 2 attempts to Ford-Wheaton. The line and Doege are absolutely embarrassing at reading pressure as TTU routinely showed where the pressure was coming from and no one bothered to do anything about it. The strip was blatantly obvious where the pressure was coming from and Doege just held the ball out there. On the 4th and 2 that Greene was in on, both O'Laughlin and Leddie missed the protection on TTU's Jeffers has he came up field. Wasted 2 timeouts in the second half due to not having any idea how to exchange personnel and get a play call in which is basic football and shouldn't be a problem half way into a season. Doege missed a wide open Brown AND a Wright walk in TD on that 3rd and goal play on WVU's last offensive drive.
Ultimately the point of the post's title is from the post game presser. Brown just talked about how great Doege played in the 2nd half and Doege did make some decent plays there. But a 5th year senior that has played at MOST one half a game competently across 4 consecutive FBS games is a PROBLEM. I don't care if he shows flashes of brilliance if the rest of the time he plays below average and makes mental errors that erase 10 good plays. I understand the need for coach speak and not trashing your player, but it makes you look utterly stupid and incompetent to point to Doege's mostly decent 2nd half as though it makes up for the 4 points he botched on the last drive and 7 he gave up with an incompetent strip sack in the first half. Not to mention all the garbage play he has had across the other 3 FBS games this season.
