Taggart: Goal Remains to Win the American

[Brad]

“It’s been three bad ballgames for us. It’s frustrating, but we’re not quitting,” Taggart said. “We have nine ballgames to go and our goal is still in front of us. We want to win the American (Athletic) Conference and it’s still in front of us. We’ve got some work to do.”

In what year?

...a LOT of work, but it starts with their heads. There's hope, I saw a handful of them smacking helmets and getting in faces to get their heads up, but far more were just dragging around--unacceptable level of pride.

Take the 66 points our offense scored for the opposition and we could have still been in the ball games.

 

Can we win the american?  I mean sure it's statistically possible, but we may not win any games

While I know some are overly sensitive to the smacking of helmets, to go so far as to call it assault, I think it's a good sign. 

 

It did appear some on the sidelines seemed to care about the level of play.  That's a step forward.

A bench-led offense seems much more promising than the alternatives

Crazier things have happened, but highly unlikely.  I have to imagine that the talent and coaching in the AAC is much better than at McNeese State and FAU.

Bench still doesn't know the playbook fluidly enough to run more than a handful of plays effectively.  Taggart said in his presser that Bench is out there thinking too much.  The flow should be read-react.  Bench is doing read-think-react, which is why Taggart didn't stick him out there yet.

 

We could potentially get good enough on offense, considering the defense doesn't give up, to win some games (UConn, Memphis).

This really applies to all 3 QBs so far. They're all taking too long to unload the ball and it costs us. I think if Eveld or Bench can develop that natural feel for how the play is developing, they can unload a little sooner and good things start to happen. Right now they're all playing a little afraid, but Bench looks the most comfortable to me--he's the one I'd focus on, but I'm not CWT.

Lynch is always trying to motivate guys on the sidelines... He's one of the only ones though. We need more guys out there motivating and less sulking.
