[QUOTE="AUFC, post: 758728, member: 3230"] I think some of you guys are a little harsh on Patenaude's playcalling. What play calls in particular upset you? The 4th and 2 stands out but it was a nice misdirection play that would work if you didn't have 11 5* All-ACC defensive players crashing the backfield. I didn't particularly like that we came out of the timeout in the same formation (same playcall?) after giving them a look but iiwii. Maybe a streak was the right call but I think we can all agree that'd be a big balls call for 4th and 2 that would have opened him up to even more criticism if it failed. If that's what you're looking for out of him, fair, but you need to accept the plays when they work and accept them when they don't work. At least he didn't pound the ball right up the middle out of that tight singleback formation. I also think Patenaude called the game too afraid of another Clemson. He didn't let Jeff unleash his arm until the 2nd half and then Sims instantly completed a 40 yarder when he did. We needed to be more aggressive to give us a chance to win - that's why you play the game (and it would be nice to get Sims more reps to learn from). Ultimately I do like Patenaude, didn't think that was his best game but every game can't and won't be your best. I look forward to him calling a better game against a more winnable Pitt in a couple weeks. I feel poorly called games from Patenaude are more the exception than the rule after a season and a half.
