We had a fair amount of yardage in garbage time, but turnovers weren't really the story of that game. Despite what beamer tries to do to deflect the actual truth. Most of our turnovers were in the second half, after the game was already decided. If you watch the play where sellers got hurt, you'll see another instance of an offensive lineman #78 turning to the left and leaving a completely unblocked path straight to the quarterback. Go back and watch all the game film from our previous two games, and you will see numerous instances of people running free into our backfield. It happened a lot last year, but for some reason lenoris was able to sidestep them. I think he's trying to concentrate on being a pocket passer so he just stood in there and took a hit that last year he would have avoided. The turnover margin looks like that's what hurt us, but we had at least two turnovers in the second half when we were already down by three scores.
This team is reminiscent of Sparky Woods and Brad Scott teams that fell apart under adversity. I hope they can pull out of this freefall because otherwise we may be looking at a 3 or 4 win season.
I didn’t think Sellers would carry us. I predicted we’d lose 34-12.
The best teams have coaches who can adjust during the game. I’ve never seen Beamer do that. The best teams always attack. I haven’t seen us do that since Clemson last year.
You're right, Palms did fire him. I had also forgotten the team voted for him to resign. What I remembered was Sparky basically promising, after a 45-0 loss to Clemson, to step down if we suffered another loss like that.
I think we might have kept it within 14 with Sellers in there. He wasn't stellar, even before he got clocked.
We weren't on our way to beating this bunch anyway. They are that much improved. But tell you what, let's plot our record versus Power Four opponents from whatever point Sellers returns.
Sellers made one mistake otherwise he was doing great, he was 6/7 94 yards 13.4 average. I thought the OC messed up the play calling there before the INT as well. Should have used Sellers legs more, like last year. especially in the red zone. I think that is a big problem as well
He was fine on the first drive, but the subsequent mistake negated a lot of good, and as you say, we were not playing to optimally to his strengths, a Shula foible.
Please, man. They were better than us every place you look - INCLUDING quarterback. Only the margin would probably have changed.
31-7 it was and 31-7 it shall forever be. There's no plausible or possible amelioration. My Sunday afternoon is too precious for parrying over it.
It looked to like a Top 25 matchup before Sellers went down.Sure there is but you had your mind made up before the game even started.
Even if that were true, the operative and immutable factor is the result. It was unimaginably worse than I could have imagined: 31-7: today, tomorrow, and forever.Sure there is but you had your mind made up before the game even started.
