10/6: UAB Game

[Docman5]

I fine it hard to believe that UAB has better pass coverage (way better) than LSU. So why couldn't J'Mar find guys open enough to throw the ball to?! Why oh Why didn't coach let someone else try?!

4. Coaching was worse than our offense. Skip is frustrating because he can coach games and look good and because he can coach games and look like an idiot. Yesterday he looked like a 1st year head coach who didn’t know what was going on. Slow read didn’t work, next play...slow read. Slow read didn’t work, next play...slow read. Screen pass didn’t get us 15 yards, next play...screen pass. We ran maybe six different offensive plays last night.

We ran that crap ad nauseum last night and it got stuffed repeatedly- the same damned play over and over. Our top 2 RB's are hurt and we decided that NOW was time to run the ball nonstop vs the biggest, most physical team in the conference?!!! We don't even use TEs for extra blocking!!!!

Very disappointing offensive game "plan".

I guess it could have been worse. If we hadn’t had all those handoffs, J’Mar might have been sacked 15 more times than he was.

Not that I have a problem with this, but I have no respect for this team. They spent several minutes on two different occasions trash talking fans in the stands and their coaches did nothing about it. Total lack of class and I hope, against all evidence available, that we embarrass them in their house next chance we get.

I was in the middle of the student section. It was all started when UAB had their 3 and outs in their first few drives. The Tech students were talking a lot of crap to the UAB players. Then later Brown #28 threw water from a bottle at one (not the bottle just water). Later UAB's #51/57 said "Yeah talk your s--- now!" when they went up 21-7.

Our students were much more interested in sparring with the UAB players than watching us run draw plays for -5 yards. Most of the UAB players that responded just pointed to the scoreboard.

I like “If your daddy could coach, maybe you can too U”

Then you come home from the dance and see your dad storming out of the house with suitcases in his hands. You walk into the living room and see UAB setting on the couch with your mom.... UAB breaks the awkward silence by saying, “look...I’m not trying be your new dad, but I would like to be your friend.”

Thanks Holtz and J’mar... UAB officially made us their *****.

And then Southern Miss walks in and says, “You’re gonna have to wait your turn!”

Sometimes not even the bridesmaid...

Was Tucker in trouble? Why else would he have not gotten the start.

Wondered the same thing.

Wondered the same thing.

The line dropped back to 7 before kickoff. I wondered when I heard what may have happened. Sounds like word got out that we had some clubhouse crap going on. Apparently the offense is in a mess and it's not just our QB. No leadership will do that to a team.

Tucker got hurt at UNT. They saved him until the 2nd half because he wasn't 100% healthy. And of course Dancy was out since his injury at LSU. That made for a great "Let's run the ball nearly 50 times vs the biggest team in C-USA" game plan.

[tech70]

Any insight as to what is going on with the team ? Is it just the offense?

Well, our defense is the only thing going halfway good. If Holtz can’t get a handle on the locker room before next Saturday, our defense may stop caring as well.
