Wimbush needs therapy. He went from stiff arming players to the 5 second hand off.

Wimbush looks like a deer in head lights again...

If you have to count on Brandon to throw the ball to win we will not fare well!

 

[SonofOahu]

Gods. Adams needs to sit, until the bowl game. He's not in top shape. His lack of fitness, plus Wimbush's mental-block, is going to cost us this game.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Watching whimbush throw is painful.

 

[TheChosen1]

If Wimbush pulls that instead of giving it to Adams it’s at least a 30 yard run. Rewind it and watch.

Kelly should really just be let go. This Stanford team is worse than I thought and we look like hot garbage against them. I am sick of this crap year after year.

 

[Junkhead]

Single season rushing record or not, I really don't want to see any more Adams runs tonight. Glacially slow to hit the hole.

 

[EifertPower]

When is the last punt or kickoff we returned for a TD? I honestly can't remember one since Zibby.

Did Josh Atkinson have one?

Didn't Sanders have one at Stanford a couple of years ago? Sanders actually used to be good.

George Atkinson had one at Pitt maybe 5 years ago

Golden Tate had one at Pitt like 8 years ago

CJ Saunders vs umass in 15'

Sanders had 2 kickoff TD's last year against Cuse and Army.

Wimbush hasn’t been able to make the proper read on the zone read all season. This offense is built for a player like him and he can’t seem to figure out how to play within it, running or throwing. Most of his big scampers have been scrambles.

Agree. Dex looks like he has a little burst tonight. Ride him and go tempo in the 2nd half. Need a spark or this one is going to get away from us.

 

[NDdomer2]

I wouldn't mind seeing us get under center more in second half. Seems like we our run calls are more down field and we get more time on PA passes.

 

[dang227]

Kelly’s insistence on playing Adams is going to lose us this game.

 

[irishff1014]

Play Dexter And Jonesand pick up the pace by about 6-8 seconds

 

[ND88]

Should the coaches just let Brandon play? He needs to stop looking at the sideline like he’s never played football before. I feel like he’s been competitively castrated. This young man has tremendous talent, but he thrives off confidence. When was the last time we had a quarterback calling plays on the line?

Adams is good when he is healthy and has a huge hole to run through. Nowadays, not so much, just sucks to watch lately.

This isn't backyard ball and BW isn't Peyton Manning.

Having a qb with a weakness ----Wimbush can't throw, Tommy Reese couldn't run, etc. is a loosing tactic.

I thought we should have put Book in there to run the two-minute offense.

 

[pumpdog20]

We seemed to be gaining steam with the run game until the last end of the last drive.

Which obviously was a good time to go away from it.

I mean, I agree. He just looks so lost out there.

You can have a quarterback that is not a great runner and be fine. His problem had to do with his arm strength.

Team looks ...Flat...

receivers catch most balls other teams catch near 100% of the time, and almost none of the ones that are the difference makers...Smyth has 0 excuse on that. YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE THAT BALL...

Special teams just hasn't been there...and not there yet tonight.

Wimbush is sliding, and where the hell are the takeaways on D?

 

[ickythump1225]

I hate Kelly's insistence on playing kids who shouldn't be out there and deciding he doesn't like some players and keeping them on the sidelines. Adams is a good player but he is clearly ailing but I'm starting to wonder what it will take for Dex to get a lot of carries.

Nah, he's right. My bowels get a little looser, every time I see Wimbush screw-up that simple out-pass.

All the other backs would have to be fully incapacitated.

Sorry, thought he was asking just about punts

I thought the defense played with energy. They're all getting to the ball almost every play. Not a bad half, imo.

Offense is a different story. Find a way to get the ball Stepherson's hands and pray.

 

[ickythump1225]

Hell I'm wondering when we had a pint return period.
