I had no problems with calling TO's to get the ball back. Although this was the one where Wilcox I think has it go off his hands. Still think you have to try to score if you have the timeouts with this offense.
I also thought briefly that the Illinois defender was going to take it back, think Eric Mayes makes the TD saving tackle on the sidelines.
there wasn't a single wide reciever/bubble screen pass, even attempted. (correct me if I'm wrong, but if I was they were extremely minimal).
Wonder what the thinking was there? Maybe the coaches saw something in the tape during the week. It's been such an integral part of our offense since Willie went to the GCO.
Was going to say the same thing. Read somewhere (no link sorry) that the knock on him when he was with Bama and AZ State was that he struggled with going through the progressions.
Watching that game felt like I was having a lobotomy.
Final score doesnt look great considering Illinois is a BAD team.
However must concede that we showed grit once again in the 4th quarter against a P5 team.
And defense was terrific second half.
Back to OP, I think his confidence must have taken a knock at Texas, I mean they did lose to Kansas.
I wonder if now after a year of winning under his belt and looking at the shambles Texas is in, it must be a morale booster.
The fallout from Rutgers 07 prepared me for any loss we've had since, with the closest pain for me being McNeese.
So many painful plays on that day in NJ which others have lamented but another one sticks out... still can't believe Tiquan Underwood scores on that LONG touchdown, if I remember our LB (McKenzie?) completely whiffed on the play.
Despite CCS saying he believes that's our strongest unit though in terms of talent/depth, I think we really miss Senat and Hector there. Temple still have Sharga?
Echo that. The more I go on other message boards, even the big boys (checkout the dusty FSU site http://www.theterritory.org/phorum/), the more I appreciate the amount of effort/time/money that went into this one. Cheers Brad!
