Nothing ventured, nothing gained. In an age when so games are decided in the last 2 minutes--I see so many freaking games where one team scores in the last 2 minutes to go ahead and then the other team scores in the last 30 seconds to win--safe isn't going to cut it.
have you not been paying attention? all last week, I was personally told my many that Wisc sucks this year
go back and read the board, this fan base is full on stupid
We even heard Rutgers is probably better than any Big Ten West teams. Now we hear how great Wisconsin is. Excuses excuses excuses.
Meanwhile - if we did nothing different except keeping the dang ball on the ground at the end of the half and kicked a FG we lose by 1 because of a missed extra point. In that case though, we certainly would’ve tried the 2 point conversion so who knows.
can't say that as the game could have been managed differently by them
A 10-14 point swing may have absolutely lost us the game.
No way of knowing what would've happened. But what DID happen is an offense that scored 6 points through 55.5 minutes of play. That stinks and it's just like last year. If you tell me they barely scored but looked better doing it I'm going to tell you that's not much in the way of improvement. Improvement is actually SCORING MORE POINTS.
Last year in Big Ten play the team scored 10, 10, 13, 24, 0, 17, 21, 10 and 0, an average of 12 points per game. Today they scored 13 points. Not much change there. So far this year, in 3 Big Ten games, they're averaging 15 points per game. The team still scores roughly 2 TDs per game, in an offense-crazed era. Once or twice a year, they manage 3 TDs in a game. I'm tingling from the adrenaline.
The post was Gs has only had 4 years to build the o line and he need 5-6 years(1980 mentality when the narrative was a coach needs one full recruiting cycle).. My comment simply is that’s an excuse . Work the portal harder to improve the team and a glaring miss. Like the Wr transfers are a miss. Hey at least he got Flip right. You don’t need 6 years to build a team let alone a position group. See Louisville, Duke, Kansas, Colorado etc. Nil money unfortunately more then you and to a coach I know is not the answer and terrible at his job!
You think ECU is going to make a bowl this year? Guess we can get Houston cheap after he gets fired.
I think that ECU made a bowl game the last 2 years which is 2 more than we've legitamately earned under Schiano.
Point taken.
I don’t get the not counting the last 5 min. I know Miami wishes they can not count the last 5 minutes yesterday.
Miami was actually in the game until the end, a TD with 4 and a half minutes left down 21 is exactly what's referred to as, a GARBAGE TIME TD.
The bigger issue is not even trying to go out and find competition for him. It's not like we saw anything from Gavin last year that gave us confidence. Not saying transfers are always the right approach but surely it couldn't hurt to bring in some better competition to push Gavin.
What about AJ next year? 38th ranked QB
Respectfully you have no idea what you are talking about in regards to Houston and ECU. He inherited a team that went 3-9 three straight years prior to his hiring, within 3 years he had them bowling, went 8-4 year 4 winning their bowl game, and took a step back this year after losing 14 starters from last years squad including his qb, rb, top 2 receivers and starting TE. The offense was GUTTED with graduation this year and yes, teams are going to have up and down years.
Unless it’s a kid whose an all world, 5 star absolutely no doubter (Trevor Lawrence, Terrell Prior) type of guy I don’t think any true freshman should be playing in this conference if a team can help it.
Sorry but he never won more than 7 conference games in a weak conference. Then won a nothing bowl. He did that twice and now this year he’s tanking. On no planet is what he did at ECU more impressive than what Schiano accomplished his first time around here. If we win 6 this year Schiano 2.0 is also looking much better than him going into the off-season. I don’t care about budgets of major conferences being different - BS. Not all major conference teams play in the BIG east. 6 wins with our schedule is better than 7 win East Carolina’s schedule any day.
Who said anything about what Greg did his first time around here? Your words were ‘ECU is worse now than what he inherited’.
