Title: Game Report Post by: PirateVOL on November 20, 2022, 06:55:40 EST For the first time in the Hueple era the team came out flat and seemingly unprepared
We were flat outplayed On offense we were just a little off. On most nights we wouldn't have noticed it but Hooker was just a bit late or high several times tonight I've come to realize the Pitt game wasn't a fluke that the pair of Hooker and Tillman are a liability as Hooker looks first to Ced most every play What that results in is that when Hooker does go to another receiver often the timing is off - saw that at least twice on passes to Hyatt I noted it in the game thread but we went with 4 WRs a lot tonight and the pair of Hyatt and Squirrel together is a potent combination going forward Bru didn't play the last 3/4 of the 2nd half, didn't appear injured on the sideline On defense we flat sucked The DL had ZERO pressure most of the night and the few times they got pressure we had no contain The LBs were pretty much a non factor most of the night and were a huge liability in the throw game in zone or man We played 4 corners tonight with near zero effectiveness by all 4 A few times that were in position (or should have been) to make plays and seemed to wonder what this object was coming their way The two starters regressed badly from the previous 2 games, the b/u demonstrated why they weren't starting The safeties? Best keep my moth shut Bonus: Can anybody in the secondary fizzleing tackle?????????????????????? Coaching? We had no answers with the defense, other than playing too much zone, that we have repeatedly demonstrated we can't play\ Also, we didn't handle the beat down well We were VERY chippy Hadden and Tillman were prime examples :loco: At least I don't have to worry where I'm travelling to NY eve :dunno: Title: Re: Game Report Post by: Tnphil on November 20, 2022, 07:14:01 EST Pretty spot on....They were working on Bru's rib area they showed on TV...Got a feeling that has something to do with him being out?
Beamer out coached us tonight....from scheming to having his team ready. I've said it before and will say it again....Hooker standing still and not stepping into his throws will make it sail a lot of the time....I thought he didn't play well. Best of luck with his injury and gosh help us with Milton as the go to...We have no running game....it's awful and USC gave us fits due to it....UGA stopped the run and we were done like tonight. Title: Re: Game Report Post by: PirateVOL on November 20, 2022, 07:14:46 EST BTW, listened to Hueple post game as I was driving to the hotel.
At times, he sounded like a dad self censoring himself He was flat pissed, as he should have been Didn't throw the players under the bus, took it on himself but I suspect it will be a "scary" film session later today Title: Re: Game Report Post by: murfvol on November 20, 2022, 06:42:30 EST Smart people learn from mishaps, and Heupel seems like a smart guy.

He's smart enough to know you don't get paid millions to give up 63 points to USCe....Now it's up to him to start fixing it. Title: Re: Game Report Post by: LouisVOL on November 20, 2022, 08:28:23 EST The DL had ZERO pressure most of the night and the few times they got pressure we had no contain
One of SC biggest weaknness this year was porous OL--we missed Banks here as our best pressure rusher, which also impacts DL opportunities. We also showed almost no twists or deals, straight bull rushes The LBs were pretty much a non factor most of the night and were a huge liability in the throw game in zone or man Banks wouldn't have mattered here except possibly on some of the RB swing passes. Our LBs are historically bad in zone, terrible drops & terrible eye discipline We played 4 corners tonight with near zero effectiveness by all 4 A few times that were in position (or should have been) to make plays and seemed to wonder what this object was coming their way The two starters regressed badly from the previous 2 games, the b/u demonstrated why they weren't starting We have zero cover corners with zero on-ball skills, can't play man-can't play zone, and one has a mouth that needs to sit him The safeties? Best keep my mouth shut Can't read, can't cover, can't tackle Bonus: Can anybody in the secondary fizzleing tackle?????????????????????? Include our OLBs in this assessment Title: Re: Game Report Post by: BanditVol on November 21, 2022, 12:09:19 EST Pretty spot on....They were working on Bru's rib area they showed on TV...Got a feeling that has something to do with him being out?

First, let me say I agree the offense was off a bit. Not their best night (not their best night and 38 points...I'll take that any day!) But can you explain "no running game"??? we ran for 154 yards and averaged 5.4 per carry. That's pretty decent. I know stats are not everything, but can you 'splain that one a bit more? |
