[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 73095, member: 1199"] A couple of things: The point spread for a game is not the point difference odds makers expect. It is designed to balance the betting. Same with the Over/Under. Those numbers should not be translated into a measure of success or failure on the field. Second, our offense gained 500+ yards with a bunch of new guys playing. Give 'em a chance. How many practice days have they had? 25? I thought JT looked great. I will take those numbers every game. However, 65 of his passing yards should be changed to rushing yards because that pitch to Snoddy was not a pass. Third, we played at least four freshmen on defense today. Only one DL started last year and only one DB started. Do we need to play better? Yes? We stacked the box on the 92 yard run trying to get another possession before the half, and made a bad read. The question I would like to ask Roof is why we let them drive the ball the length of the field and eat up 9+ minutes of the second half. OTOH, I wish we had played this game as if it mattered. I was disappointed in the energy level on both sides of the ball. And, I agree with [USER=2]@Eric[/USER] that we ran for almost 300 yards out of the option with 9 defenders in the box. Why should we pretend passing is not the correct attack in that case? The option offense was just fine, given my general concern overall. [/QUOTE]
