The guy just runs and throws hot and cold. When he's hot he's really good but when cold he sucks.
Skip has to be willing to sit him for a while when he's cold.
Tonight we won ugly again and became bowl eligible at 6-2 with 4 games left. I'll take it!
Well he did have an additional 2 more decent drives, with the play calls given, in the 2nd half with one TD and a missed FG. So J'Mar had way more than 6 minutes of good playing when you add it up so-to speak. But I would love to see somebody else getting some playing time when Smith is super cold (again with the play calling given).Quote:

True. Still.....4 games left for him to play and get his MOJO back like in the SMU game.Quote:

It is totally absurd that Holtz is sticking with J'Mar as our starter. Holtz is wasting a very talented group of receivers, not to mention a very good defense. I'm glad we lucked out and got the win over FAU, but it'll only insure that all we'll see is more of this same shitshow of an offense with Smith as QB. It isn't his fault. He simply lacks the talent that's necessary to play at this level.
It's rare that Tech can put a good offense AND good defense together on one team.Quote:

As I just posted on another thread, while Smith sucks, it's also a lousy offensive scheme that is hamstringing this offense.
Amen to that!Quote:

Now we have times where it is obvious there are 10 players on the field who have little faith in the key 11th player. Not to mention the defense watching on the sideline probably begging our offense not to have another 3-and-out.
It is bad when the other team is yelling at your QB...

This needs to be printed, framed, and hand-delivered to Holtz. OMG! opposing fans are going nutso over Smith's lousy play. Well, that FAU fan won't be getting a Christmas card from D65!Quote:

Under Todd Fitch as the OC in 2015, Boston College dropped to 3-9 overall, 0-8 in the ACC.Quote:

Prior to Boston College, Todd "droopy eye" Fitch served as offensive coordinator alongside Holtz at South Florida (2010-12) and at East Carolina (2007-09). We know how things worked out for both Fitch and Holtz at South Florida.
THIS is the problem with LA Tech's offense. We're asking a BIG TIME LOSER to take us to the Promise land offensively. He can't do it, and it's been proven that he can't do it.
Oh....make no mistake, most of our CUSA brothers think J'Mar is a joke at QB. Many are shocked that LA Tech can actually beat anyone with J'Mar at the helm. Some will post stuff like, "I like LA Tech in this game....but they've still got J'Mar, so I'm picking UAB this weekend"...and stuff like that.Quote:
