I'm not going to lie to you: If we think we are good and don't prepare and play with great effort we WILL lose this game sure as the sun rises. The BG game showed us we are inconsistent with our identity as a team that always prepares and plays hard. It's one thing to come off that loss and...

Re the Miami fumble, the ref looked like he was in good position to make the proper call, unlike the TV angles. They were right to let the call stand in that situation. It was a situation where the ball carrier is on top of a defender which always makes the ball carrier look like he's down. So I...

We put ourselves in the position to win if something good happened by playing as hard as we could in all three phases. On defense the first thing I noted was the play of our secondary, which was supposed to be a strength this year. This was the first game I thought they played up to their...

Just my opinion, BGSU was the first game with Key as head coach that has caused me to worry about the future. Defense still sucks. Offense is much better but clearly is a work in progress. STs overall are improved compared to last year but still have a ways to go. Except last week kids have...

Don't mind moving Thacker to safeties. That was the position he played in college. Glad to see Sherrer get a shot. We had to do something.

Honestly I thought with all the gifts Wake gave us we were lucky to get out of there with a win. They turned the ball over 5 times and still were driving to send the game into OT....our offense completely disappeared as it did today.

BGSU won the LOS on both sides of the ball. When you can't run the ball and you can't stop the opponent on the ground you are usually going to lose. Very disappointing to be manhandled that way by a MAC team. I don't know what to say about us getting them in third and long many times only to...

Conference road win as 7 point underdogs is good however ugly. Def PI on us followed by push off TD catch by Wake receiver was pitiful. If you call it tight call it both ways. Ditto for holding calls. DL came through in a big way. D is improving.

Easy. D improves, keep Thacker. Doesn't improve let him go. So far not looking good. AND there is a lot of ball yet to be played! Up to our players and coaches to keep getting better.

Dunno if we beat Wake but I expect us to go up there and play hard, fundamentally sound football and compete like hell. Continue to keep penalties and turnovers low. Clean up FG protection/snap. Play better D. Finish drives. Improve in these areas and we have a good chance to win. OL play is...

Maybe merge with other How do we feel about HK thread? For the record I think he's a good player.

Agree with the caveat that in today's game with pace it is helpful to rotate guys during individual drives because guys get winded quick. Or just have the chains malfunction. I do think our D has a chance to get better. DL need to keep improving, new LB need to gel with scheme, secondary needs...

Hated seeing Ivy make a sack and thinking about how we could have used him this season. Akelo Stone had an injury. Dunno if he came back in.

I was encouraged by Efford getting a lot of burn and being productive. Good to see a young Backer figuring it out.

Lil' Joe pointed out several instances of WRs playing unselfishly....blocking and hustling to get blocks downhill. He talked a fair bit about team culture and pointed out instances where players were giving a lot of effort. I recall Kyle Efford and several WR being complemented on this. Overall...

Hate it for him and for us. Needed him to do big things this year.

Also thought we had bad luck with injuries to some of our better players. Hopefully they come back soon.

What I want to see is what Errin Joe states here: "Just reestablishing what Tech is," Joe said about Key's mission. "Toughness, discipline, commitment, execution – the things that (Key) got when he was a player here. Old-school football. Teams are going to be saying, 'Hey, we don't want to play...

Wasnt going to post in this thread because really, who the hell knows how much a team will win. Injuries, bad bounces, crappily timed marginal penalties, team chemistry, made/missed kicks, fluke plays, etc generate a lot of randomness. However, I rewatched Pitt and UNC games from last year, and...

I thought the UNC game was a good example of toughness. Kept playing hard and putting max effort into executing the game plan regardless of score and came out a winner.
