Thoughts after this game.

I don't get it. Urban game strategy on O and D overall is not going to get it done. Why even attempt to run Haskins regularly? D? Run blocking? D? Haskins running the ball? D? I know they are banged up a bit but really looked bad and yet Haskins under 5 yards short of breaking records. Fucking weird. Legit believe Urban is an issue.

He needs to trust Day and his game plan. It seems too often, Urban wants to put his own touch on the offense, and it just isn’t going to work this year with Haskins. He could’ve easily thrown for 500 yards if they weren’t trying to get cute with the play calling.

Meh, not concerned here yet. I think that we’ll see the staff do some thing in the next few games to see how they work for little other reason than to get some film. I know when I’m coaching and feel pretty comfortable about a game prior to walking on a field, I run some stuff that I wouldn’t run if the game is on the line. Sometimes you work on things in practice and you just can’t simulate the realness of a ‘I want to take your head off’ opponent trying to stop you.

That said, some shit on defense? Yeah, we’ve got plenty of tape there. Get that shit fixed or we’re proper fucked.

Observations
Defense has vulnerabilities
Way too many penalties
Yet for the second week in a row they hold a good Offense to an average of 6.5 points per quarter.
D was much improved in the 2nd half. Held IU to 6 pts
Pryor is going to be a special player. He is starting to come on.
LB play is improving. Tuf is really coming on. Caused another fumble. Made some great playsM

On Offense the run game remains a concern. OL can't get a push in short yardage. No breakaway runs.
Way too many penalties. Too many turnovers.
Haskins is the clear Heisman leader
Victor is coming on strong. His TD catch was a thing of beauty.
Great receiving corp
Dru still a weapon despite the one bad punt

GO BUCKS!!

Really hope tonight was a "seeing is believing" moment for Urban and a mobile qb with Haskins. Tried it, didn't work, tried it again and again, didn't work and then didn't see it again. Hope that is resolved and will have faith in that then for now. D is a real issue. Slow and confused in back 7. Not good.

Notice my complete absence from most of them. I'm not above saying stupid things.....but I don't plan to do it in a place that will live forever anymore.

In the time it took for Fox to air another round of commercials, we had the entirety of BP questioning if Urban was still alive. Shit's ridiculous (and that's just the silly side of it).

I question if BP should even have game threads. A lot of people should be embarrassed from the dumb shit they say during games.

Welcome to every game thread for any team anywhere that expects playoffs or a natty. Signs of greatness with obvious weaknesses. Job of the fan to bitch, gripe, cheer and soak in the glory without doing a dammed thing. Thank god for game threads. Shit is fun.

Hey.. i didnt even say thing this time!

Here's my way too early thoughts...

1. Everything on defense is improving besides #3 and #23.

2. Run game is broke

3. Dwayne is prone to mistakes if you pressure him.

4. I would bet my mortgage that UFM is done after this year.

Solid win but we are holding on for dear life
