We’re 9-2 and receiving votes for the Top 25 and ranked 10th in the G5. Why should we be happy about leading a 4-7 MAC team 14-12 after an uninspired first half. Our expectations are different these days. And they should be.
First TO was unquestioningly stupid. they were going to go on fourth down regardless – we just saved them time and gave them opportunity to get in good play. I get the intent on the 40 second TO and as it turns out their dumb decision to pooch kick made us weirdly aggressive in playcalling. I wish we had executed. But overall over `10 years i think we can agree on TO game is checkers not chess!
Jive I think this is a team that needs to stay away from the long pass. Simply put, AV isn’t accurate. To me, if he completes one great, but it will be more luck than skill. I realize the grind it game might not work with 40 seconds left in the half, but that is the strength of this offense as currently constructed. I thought our second TD was AV’s best drive of the year. Unfortunately, we couldn’t repeat it. I have no issue with grind it out offense if that is your identity. And with AV, that is our identity.
