Special teams can't let long returns on punts and kick offs
NO missed field goals
The obvious things that have hurts us. And Skippy needs to push the throttle full bore and not let up for the full 60 minutes. This "sit on the lead" and prevent crap has to go away!
This week should be an AAC crew anyway. Expect the visiting team's conference will be doing the assigning for this home-and-home series.Originally Posted by 70TECHGRAD
And through weeks 0-2, three of the C-USA referees who headed the seven crews that worked conference games last year haven't worked any of the 29 games involving C-USA teams. Not good news because the refs who look to be the replacements are worse if that is possible, including the ref who worked the Tech-SLU game. That ref added 10-15 minutes to the length of the game by calling a zebra convention before making any calls.

One of the worst "managed" games by the zebras I have seen. Not the worst "called" game though. I have seen many much worse than this one. Namely the 1999 game at UL-Drunkards and their local Laughing-at zebras. Amazing we escaped with the 41-31 win given the 19 flags for over 200 yards in penalties.
The guys at the SLU seemed lost and unsure of themselves, but they did mostly get the calls right. Ultimately the refs did not influence/change the outcome of the game.
That was the one where Robken "joked" he would pay the bail for any Tech student who might "accidentally" assault a ref.
I’ve been watching Skip long enough to know he has two speeds, slow and stop.
So we have famous coaches' sons squaring off at the Joe this weekend. Need to invite Derek Dooley to the mix.
The Giants play tomorrow, so he'd be free on Saturday.
The head coach's kid that led us before that will also be available since Louisville plays on Friday night.
Line is now 12.5. Eternal optimist in me says this is possibly the game that Holtz wins back some fans. He doesn’t want to lose to the guy he replaced let alone dumptrucked in their previous meeting. Defense is capable of creating turnovers if they are cut loose. Keeping the faith that I will return to Ruston having watched our middle school boys win cross country only to add to our jubilation by winning a non conference game!
If we are trying to kick FGs, we are already beat. Can't exchange FGs for TDs.
This is a must win for out program but only a hope to compete for those who really are only concerned with promotion of coach compete
no way we win this game. Skip can't/won't get the team up for it.
I’ll mail you some blue glasses! Join those of us who have reached a point of enjoying our Athletics, but being able to get over a loss before we cross Alabama Ave to get back in our car to drive home.
I get it, I do try to enjoy the game and get over a loss quickly. And I'm not trying to be a jerk about this, but I'm really tired of losing games we have legitimate chances to win and my perception that the administration continues to accept Skip's mediocracy.
