What about Paul Harris?

We started cut blocking more

Was Paul going to bring some blocking with him?

I didn't see our last possession like 95% of our fans in attendance Thursday night. I left right after our backup got sacked, fumbled on the 1-yard line, and Tulane punched it in for a TD. I had no confidence that our offense could even get a single first down at that point, and I had seen enough piss poor football for the night. And I don't leave games early. The only other Tech football game I left early was the Hawai'i game in 2011.

I left at the same time. The other time was in Bicknell's last yr when Nevada was leading 34 to 0 at the half and said
I would not return until he was replaced. I hope Skip and his coaches can win some over the next few weeks and I plan
to be at Home Coming and think North Texas will be very tough!

The offense had just gotten into the groove (cut blocking don't you see?) when Holtz made the decision to go for 2 which cost us the game. See, if we had cut the score to 8 the defense would have surely held them, giving the offense another chance in which they were sure to score with the cut blocking and all. There is little doubt we'd have then gotten the 2 pt conversion and won in OT.

stranger things have happened. Obviously going for two at that time was the right decision right?

Actually running the wildcat with Paul Harris would really work well with no offensive line. Uh madddawg?

You haven't read me asking for Paul Harris.

I'll be yelling to get Paul in vs army, sick of this bs qb play.

Ya know.... it would be one thing if Young/Higgins were showing something to give us hope. But thus far, they haven't even been close! Go to the flag football games at intramural and find us a better QB. I guarantee ya, there are plenty of college students, who are good athletes, who could do a better job than those two have shown (thus far). I know they are both freshmen and will probably get better (MUCH better!!! is needed), but right now it ain't happening. Let's try Harris. Nothing to lose at this point.

knee jerk reaction when you start calling for the third string QB!!! the problem is with our O-line when they can't block and get pushed back 10 yards every play.

It is, but he can scramble and throw. I don't get why you didn't at least attempt the package which had been installed for him as a changeup from the funk we were in. To provide a possible spark to close the game out. He's the most athletic QB with the strongest arm and probably the most competitive. All those attributes may not be completely obvious until gametime. You at least try it so that you know if it can help us. Im not second guessing the coaches on the depth chart, just their unwillingness to try something a little differnent that you had obviously planned for.

If the offense can't get out of this funk then I agree, use Harris like Dooley used Cameron to try and provide a spark.

And Harris is the most experienced.

And! (and this will come across as being mean, but I don't care...) if you (by "you" I mean the coaches who should know) really think Young/Higgins are the future for us at QB, then maybe while the OL sucks, you play Harris to keep one of the other two from getting kilt!!!!

It's strange how football teams shape up after a few games. 3 weeks ago we were hoping Young was better than Cameron and if not, we always have Higgins! Now we are alread talking about Paul Harris. You never know!
