Glad to win, but from not batting the ball away on the last play, trying to strip ball instead of tackle multiple times, Bertrand's idiotic targeting which robbed Lewis of an INT, back to back false starts on O...this team is just not well coached.

Regardless of how you feel about TR, I have to say I loved that clip of TR laying into Pyne. Sometimes just straight to the point tough love is needed.
It was a really good play call. Mayer was wide open and he somehow overthrew him.

And don’t forget: still zero turnovers by the defense

Yeah well I wouldn't mind seeing Swarbrick or whoever hired him chewing him out on TV.

Well. Good news is that the o finally showed signs of life.

Not really. The OL and RBs did. But if this is the playbook for Pyne moving forward it's going to be frustrating.

We basically ran what Marshall did on us last week, minus any big plays passing the ball.

Downfield passing was atrocious. Besides the TD pass to Tyree. Even then, he was wide open.

Pyne does not look confident in the pocket.

Going to the park with the fam. Figure it’s time to focus on something that is enjoyable to watch, lol.

Happy for the Freeman, Rees, and the guys. They battled and pulled it out.

What do you expect? Pyne is not very talented and we basically have one WR. Run the ball, throw screens and easy tight end stuff, lean hard on the defense. Hopefully that can get us to like 8-4, but it's going to be ugly and stressful every damn game.

Feels like the post game of the 2010 BC win coming off Kelly's 3 game skid. Take the W and the stak you just won on the under and move the fuck on.

Better days ahead.

He's a junior. With three years in Tommy's system. He's played before (albeit very little). It's fair to expect a little more.

Leaning on the defense will only get us so far. Losses to Clemson, BYU, USC, UNC are likely if we get into a shootout offensively.

I do believe Pyne will improve, but I just don't know how high his ceiling is at this point.

1) Hats off to Rees, Heistand and the Oline. They made improvements and gave Pyne and the RBs the windows they needed today.

2) This defense lacks discipline, but good to see the D line step up in the 4th when needed.

3) It really shouldn't have been as close as it was.

4) Someone should've given Pyne a Xanax before kickoff.

They are off the snide. Hopefully that's what they needed to loosen up a bit and just play
