Louisville Post Game

[rfjeff9]

Gotta score in a half to win a game.

 

[DvilleJacket]

Louisville wanted it more second half

 

[RamblinCharger]

Pretty pitiful second half by everyone. We’ve got a long way to go but this was a really bad start to a coaching regime

 

[rfjeff9]

Seems like we went a little more conservative in the second half

 

[dcall]

We shouldn't have lost this game

 

[jeffgt14]

Eh Louisville kicked our *** on the lines all night. For one quarter, I was probably the most excited I've been about GT football for 4 years but we are who we are.

 

[Enuratique]

We had them on the ropes and blind side fumble completely swung the momentum

 

[JacketFan137]

gotta get to the qb and gotta make a fg

I disagree. We were thoroughly outplayed in 3 out of 4 quarters. We abandoned everything on offense that was working in the 2nd quarter for some reason and the defense missed like 20 open field tackles giving louisville huge gains. We executed poorly on offense, defense, and special teams in pretty much every quarter outside the 2nd and the final drive

Sorry, y’all. That sucked. The Nebraska-GT parallel line continues.

Not sure where the blame lies, but damn does this school know how to rip your heart out.

The ceiling for the offense looks a LOT higher than last year. Only broke 30 against Western Carolina last year. Did it today despite a lot of obvious area for improvement and a new QB in a new system. Could be really impressive after that's cleaned up some.

The floor for the defense doesn't look any better, though. Need to clean that up a LOT. Lost the game by letting them score on way too many of their second half possessions.

Should be able to score enough to win 5 or 6 this year, I think, and then if necessary make some changes on D.

Not sure I've ever seen so many shoulders launched into the opposing team, f'n wrap up. Probably my biggest real complaint, wrap up. Team looked alright otherwise.

[ramble_on92]

Poor blocking, poor tackling, and poor second half play calling. That’s it. Winnable statement game just thrown away in my mind.

Positives:
Some playmakers on O
QB looked good mostly - made some NFL quality passes
No stupid penalties
Kickoffs had no returns of consequence

Negatives
D Line gets zero push and front 7 looks very slow
O line looks to be poor again
Terrible tackling by D backfield
Playcalling seemed to lack imagination on several drives

 

[cpf2001]

That receiver yard distribution reminds me of the rush yard distribution some days under Johnson. Fun stuff.

I'm trying really hard to find the positives compared to last year since we probably weren't winning any championships this year anyway, but ugh that 3rd quarter.

I'm kinda shocked Thrash didn't have 200 yards by himself for UL.

 

[Techster]

Few quick things:

1. Seemed like we took our foot off the pedal in the 3rd quarter after having one of the most explosive 2nd quarters in the last 4 years.
2. Cooley should have gotten more carries.
3. Defensive tackling was atrocious. Absolutely atrocious. We actually went backwards from where we ended last season.

 

[wesgt123]

We had one quarter that was fun. Unacceptable. Poor tackling. Offensive line got no push except that 2nd quarter. The fumble killed us. The missed fg in the 4th killed us.

This one hurt to watch us blow it. Still a lot of season left but tonight sucked overall.
