Why make a first and ten and turn it into a first and fifteen ? Chandler got called by the refs three times against the Bulls. After the first penalty, just play it straight and quit looking for advantages. If he gets beat on the play...so be it.
Yeah!!!

Perhaps Im beating my head against a wall. When you cannot throw, you need to be able to run, especially on first down. When you run, you had better be able to block. When you run our offense, the blocking of the center is critical to creating that seam that you see Brewer dance sideways through and run for 40 yards. Not only do you need Chandler to make those blocks, you need those blocks and that running to give what we call a QB a chance to throw on future plays. The kid was doing an essential job the best way he knew how, but with some justification, he might not have been able to do it without the penalties. So there was a lot of pressure on him and there isnt any of this business of "so be it" Got it?
We hold our coaches accountable, Tulsa doesn't.
If he has another year next year like this one, he's fired.
You don't hold your coaches any more accountable than we do. Blankenship had two off years and he's gone. We haven't had more than two off year's in a row since the Keith Burns era in 2002. And if you want to give us **** over that, then we can talk about the 90's- 2005, 15 years in which you guys averaged less than 4 wins. You've only had you program up for a dozen or so years, same as us.
You buttheads want the coach gone after one year, good thing your AD has a sane head. You use the excuse that Applewhite changed quarterbacks, yeah right. Hope Navy kicks your tail so you can go on and on about Applewhite needing to be canned again. Hopefully you'll get a dud to play in the bowl game & lose to them too.
Yea, well, how was that 2nd TU game for you?
But to your point, this wasn't a year I regretted missing games because I was coaching youth football. And I don't even have a kid on the team any more... I didn't regret missing great TU wins when my son was in youth ball or my other son was working through to his TKD black belt but missed TU this year until it was obvious were slightly below donkey tail sucking balls. However, it was blast watching TU whip UH.
TU has been rough this year. We have 5 more TD's, we're at 8 wins.
We've looked unstoppable sometimes and utterly defenseless at others.
But, we fired BB after 2 horrid seasons and he said he needed another year. PM showed up and made it happen. Got even better the next year. Now were back to crap.
Do we give him a year 3 if year 2 sucks given that?
I hope we don't have to debate that...
The center doesn't execute the block resulting in a negative play. The center gets called for a snap infraction, holding , tripping or any other kind of penalty. Its a loss of yardage. I understand your point that it's better to keep trying for that blocking advantage so your running back can make a 40 yard run even when you get penalized multiple times. Maybe Trent Dupy was a better center in his day. I'm sure you will have the answer.
Funny because he'd be the unquestioned starter at most AAC schools especially Tulsa. Skipper and President would both be receivers at UH.
So what your saying is a team that almost gave up 80 to Tulane held you to under 20? Interesting...
