Re: Comments from Boise Fans
If we can learn to throw and catch, we are right there with them. I think Dooley needs to learn quickly that the WAC is not the SEC. If you play pretty good defense, you still give up 35 points in this league. We are going to need a new philosophy on offense to keep up with all the scoring that goes on in the league. That's why we will lose to Hawaii, Nevada, and NM State this year. We need an offense capable of scoring 30 pts against WAC teams, and we don't have that. If we give up 24, we automatically lose.

Thanks, jl. It helps to read comments like that today.
Re: Comments from Boise Fans
We need an offensive line, receivers that can catch when the ball is placed in their hands and a defense that does not leave Boise's talented receivers WIDE OPEN. Oh, and better play calling is a given. You could hear the laughs coming all across America at our play calling. Neutral refs would really help as well.

I got three texts at almost the same time after the third down call in the first series Saying, "nice third down call" My nine year old asked, "Why did they run that play?"

Re: Comments from Boise Fans
Just for the record, I was at the game last night and my friends all felt that your game against Nevada will be key in determining order in the WAC this season. I think that you will be 5-3 in the WAC as well and have a pretty darn good chance at a Bowl. You have a much better team than you had a few years ago, so I don't understand all of the doom and gloom.

I thought you were at the game? You'd be gloomy too if your team had all the mistakes and frustrating plays we did.

Agree with all. I would add, however, that Boise's receivers are open because their offensive coaches are apparent geniuses. They do such a good job of scheming to get receivers matched-up against LBs, which most teams just cannot defend. And these are simple plays that are run from multiple formations with a lot of shifting before the snap. They force your defense to get out of position. As a result, they have someone wide open on almost every play, and it's not purely athleticism that does it. Coaching. Good coaching.
Another thing that I cannot understand is how we cannot read a blitz and have hot routes against it. I've seen Boise for years now swing the RB out of the backfield when we blitz them, and it burns us every time. Easy lob to the RB into a zone on the field that is wide open after the WR clears the CB and the LB vacates the zone to blitz. No defender within 15 yards. Guaranteed it's a check-off. Coaching. Coaching.
Oh, and their arm-bar blocks, obvious horsecollar tackles, blatant pass interference penalties, and running out of bounds and back in to make the catch right in front of the referees do not hurt them, either. Apparently, that's the biggest advantage of playing on the blue turf.
Re: Comments from Boise Fans
When I saw their Head Coach's resume you could why they play such good "pitch and catch"!

I guess it is good for us when they see the same problems we see, wr drops, oc play calling....you would think our coaching staff would do something about it.
Re: Comments from Boise Fans
I hate this thread, because it sounds like Tech fans are just fishing for a compliment. Tech did absolutely NOTHING last night to deserve a compliment. :furious3:

How does it sound like fishing for a compliment? Follow the link. These are Boise fans talking about us. Nobody asked them to say anything.

I don't think I've ever seen you say anything positive on this board.... so no surprise here. Yes we absolutely did do good things last night. Don't throw the baby out.
