[QUOTE="Yaller Jacket, post: 461353, member: 705"] I stopped watching for much of the second half and it gave me a distorted view of the game. Having read all the commentary, I don't feel nearly as bad. I see two major problems. 1) Early road game lethargy and 2) inexperience in the passing game. Many, many times we don't begin to play with any energy on the road. On both sides of the ball we got off to a slow start. That put us in a hole. I don't know what can be done about it. We have done it for years with different generations of players. But it leaves the impression that we are a worse team than we really are. Taquan does not have much game experience with passing. He is not a great thrower anyway, and the fact that we don't pass a lot doesn't give him that many opportunities. When he is pressing he throws it way high. Likewise our receivers don't get a lot of game day pass catching experience. So you have Camp trying to run before securing the ball. At least three times we would have won that game with a normally doable throw and catch. Our problems are not that big. Taquan and the receivers simply must keep practicing and playing games and it is very likely both will get better as the year goes along. Our won-loss record is not likely to be good this year after pissing away these two games. But we often win at least one we have no business winning. In order to get any enjoyment out of this year I'm going to look for the big win and look for how much we have improved by the end of the year. If we manage enough wins to get to a bowl, that would be icing. This year if we play NE Idaho in the Preparation H Butthurt Bowl I'll be happy to see us go. [/QUOTE]
