#WCUvsGT Postgame Discussion

Well, on the bright side, we now can have a full list of GC’s top 10 wins at GT.

Also want to add -

No offensive penalties is a pretty nice fix from last week.

FG unit needs to kick 1,000 kicks a day and run stadium steps for each miss.

I’m pleased with the defense other than the first two scores they had - we held them to 3 points in 3 quarters.

I’m also pleased with the running back room. 243 yards on 34 attempts is a nice 7.1 ypc and three guys hit pay dirt running it in.

We hit 3/4 in the red zone and scored 35 points in less than 20 minutes of TOP


FOR NEXT WEEK

I want to reduce our 3 and outs

I want to find more pressure and get to the QB

We can’t leave our defense on the field for 40 minutes

Midtown has hit upon the keys for next week. Giving Ole Miss more than one or two 3 and outs will get you killed. The defense can stop them but keeping the Rebel offense off the field is critical because they can score in a hurry and in bunches with that speed.

We need to 40+ minute time of possession next week.

Wish we had looked a bit better.

I made a full career of being modestly successful while wishing I looked better.....

Can't rely on turnovers to save you every week.

They had a bad snap and a bobbled snap at key moments too.

May not matter with how fast Lane and his O like to go.

what is your point here? why do you come around just to complain in every single post?

 

[ole ball coach]

go piss on someone else's team

Nice reply. I'll never slam any kids, just stating my vision on true football players compared to athletic kids running around. You were probably a pile jumper if you ever even suited up.

Reality is some fans will.never be happy until collins is gone. He's got this season to keep his job or pack up and leave.

They're still Division I.
FCS is Division I.
They're FCS.
FBS teams can't play Division II teams.

So he is just pointing out a fact. Hopefully we win next week and the joke is over.

Marshall beat #8 Notre Dame today.
App State beat #6 Texas A&M
San Jose State is currently behind Auburn 24-13 (same-ish kinda spread we had)
Georgia Southern is leading Nebraska
Kentucky beat #12 Florida for the second year in a row.
Washington State beat #19 Wisconsin
Texas Tech beat #25 Houston

Epic beatdowns of underdogs are what we expect when we're favored. Some days, your job is to avoid the upset. We did.

Next week against Ole Miss is going to be hard. We have a lot to work on. For now, enjoy the win.

Could be worse...we could have paid all that money to those "players" at Florida, Notre Dame, and especially Texas A&M and end up being humiliated. Our team looked sluggish but perhaps, to be expected on a short week following a big game. The question is how much can we improve as a team between now and next Saturday? Controlling the ball and keeping it away from an Ole Miss offense that is loaded with playmakers is key.

True and true.

Comparing any of those games to us not losing to Western Carolina is really apples and oranges.
Every one of those underdogs has 85 full scholarships to fill.
Western Carolina has 63. That's two full units. Now, they can kinda split some of those up among folks, like baseball does with its 11.3.
But they start out with a huge disadvantage just in scholarships alone. None of those other teams you mentioned did.

Great. I thought we played bad against an inferior team. I guess we would super dominate FCS.

In all seriousness, I called FCS division 2 b/c I could not remember the abbreviation. My faux pas. They do get 63 schollies in FCS.

you’re right. texas anm and notre dames losses are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY worse

So odd random factoid. 2019 we started 1-1, 2020 started 2-2, 2021 started 3-3.

2022 1-1 so far. Wondering if there is a 4-4 out there in our future...
