Sorry if there is already a thread on this....
I'm not too worried about our play calling for the entire year, nor was I upset about it for the majority of the game. Here's my beef, though....On our first 2 possessions, we had a 3rd and 2 and a 3rd and 4, respectively. Each time we ran a fade to Kamara on the left side. We didn't convert either. For starters, "why"????? Wasn't our mentatility to "pound it" and couldn't we get 2-4 yards on a more "low risk" play? Maybe a screen...maybe a sweep....maybe something we haven't seen?
I sure hope Heywood was holding back for the Michigan game, because this is a scary site. This seems like something Weis would do (i.e. every 4th down we went for it last year...i.e. the Navy game when we should have kicked a field goal). We should have set the tone for the game by makeing the 1st two drives count. How do you get off to a "fast start" if you put the kids in a high risk position to fail?
Our coaching staff surely doesn't understand the psychology of a college football player, and they are trying way to hard. Keep it simple stupid....especially against and undersized, undermanned opponent. This week won't be so easy, as Meatchicken's D is decent....
